Campaign Calendar · April–May 2026

📅 Week 1 · April 14–20, 2026
Launch: The Forus Post-2030 Vision
We kick off the campaign by presenting our 3Ds - what we defend, demand, and decline - as well as by sharing the event invitation to the launch of the Forus Post-2030 Vision report happening on May 21! The Forus post-2030 vision comes from our global civil society network of 74 National NGO Platforms and 8 Regional Coalitions, representing over 24,000 NGOs. It reflects collective reflection, lived realities, and voices often excluded from global agenda-setting. Join our multilingual social media campaign to explore these positions through posts, podcasts, and articles unpacking the vision.

OPENING📽️ Short motion teaser
Something important is coming.
The debate on what comes after 2030 is already underway — and civil society cannot arrive late. In the coming weeks, Forus will launch a new political vision for the post-2030 agenda: what must be defended, what must change, and what must not be lost. Stay with us.

DEFEND💬 Quote card
The future after 2030 will not be decided in 2027 alone.
It is being shaped now — through narratives, alliances, political choices, and decisions about who gets to participate. That is why civil society must engage early, strategically, and collectively.

#ForusPost2030 #CivilSociety #Post2030
DEFEND🎠 Carousel
What must be defended in the post-2030 agenda?
Forus says: ✓ a universal and rights-based agenda ✓ civic space ✓ local leadership ✓ multilateralism ✓ the core promise to leave no one behind.

This is not the moment to step back.

📅 Week 2 · April 21–27, 2026
⚡ Defining Our 3Ds: Defend, Demand, Decline
In this second week of social media mobilisation we draw on national and regional consultations and scenario mapping with our members and partners, to set out clearly what we defend, demand, and decline — our 3Ds for a credible post-2030 agenda. We also sketch out possible futures — from continuity to reset or even fragmentation — and explain the current global context that will influence the next development framework.
⚡ WHAT WE DEMAND · WHAT WE DECLINE
DEMAND🎠 Carousel
What must change?
Forus calls for a post-2030 framework that is more credible, more accountable, and more grounded in justice. That means stronger financing reform, real accountability, meaningful civil society participation, and greater power for local actors.

#WhatWeDemand #ForusPost2030 #Accountability #Localisation
DECLINE🎠 Carousel
What must not be lost — and what must be declined?
We reject a watered-down framework that sacrifices rights, universality, accountability, civic freedoms, or climate ambition for political convenience. The next framework must not be smaller, weaker, or more selective.

#WhatWeDecline #ForusPost2030 #RightsBasedApproach
SCENARIOS📊 Infographic / card
The post-2030 process could evolve in 3 ways
🟢 Continuity — the most likely baseline
🔵 Reset — the most ambitious horizon
🔴 Fragmentation — the constant risk

Forus' vision is built to stay politically relevant across all three.

📅 Week 3 · April 28–May 4, 2026
🌍 Critical Questions for the Post-2030 Agenda
For this third week we focus on the report launch and a few critical questions guiding our vision. What is the one thing the next global development agenda must not lose? What are the biggest gaps the future framework must fix? How can we ensure, through stronger financing, real accountability, deeper localisation, and meaningful civic participation, that the next framework truly delivers? And ultimately, what makes a development agenda truly credible — rooted in ambition, firm accountability, and real implementation?

🎙️ Voices That Matter: Members, Youth, and Communities
For this fourth week we bring forward the voices that matter most — members, youth, and community actors — while opening the doors to our launch event. Whose voices should shape the post-2030 agenda? What kind of future should the next global development framework protect — and who gets to answer that question? As registration opens for our 21 May launch, we ask: can a framework be truly credible if the people most affected by it are left at the margins? And as we enter the final stretch, what must still be defended, demanded, and declined — loud and clear — before the conversation begins in earnest?
🎙️ MEMBER VOICES · YOUTH · REGISTRATION OPEN
DEFEND🎙️ Quote / video clip
"The struggle over the post-2030 agenda is not only about goals and targets."
It is also about political space, accountability, and the values that will shape international cooperation. The conversation is bigger than a report. It is about the future we are willing to defend.

#ForusPost2030 #CivilSociety #Accountability
DEMAND🎙️ Quote / video clip
What kind of future should the next global development framework protect?
This is the question at the heart of the post-2030 debate — and the voices of communities, youth, and local actors must help answer it.

As the world begins to shape what comes after 2030, the conversation cannot be limited to institutions alone.
A credible future framework must be more just, more accountable, and more connected to lived realities.

#ForusPost2030 #NextSteps #Post2030
🔮 Three Possible Futures for Post-2030
🟢 Continuity
An extension of the SDGs with targeted improvements in financing, climate, technology, and local participation — keeping the global framework while refining it.
🔵 Reset
A more ambitious, justice-driven approach. Focused on structural reforms, stronger accountability, transformative financing, and deeper local engagement.
🔴 Fragmentation
A weaker, more divided scenario shaped by geopolitical tensions and declining trust — putting global cooperation and progress at risk.

Forus' vision is built to stay politically relevant across all three scenarios. Download the social media cards available in EN, FR, ES and PT with the three scenarios and adapt it to your local context.
