The idea of such a regional consultation was discussed among Asian participants who have participated in the process and launching of “Action for Sustainable Development (A4SD)” as a global civil society platform to engage in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development / SDGs in Bogota, Colombia on 26 to 29 April 2016 during the International Civil Society Week (ICSW) convened by CIVICUS.
