Comments on GPEDC Call for Evidence Report 2019 Part 1

Introduction


The Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation, GPEDC embarked on Global Consultation within Global Call for Evidence, November 2018 – January 2019. The Global Call for Evidence Report was expected to have been released March 2019. The Report is now being released in batches – Part 11 was released 21 June 2019, Part 2 is expected to be released before the 13 - 14 July 2019 when the Senior Level Meeting, SLM of GPEDC hold and Part 3 is expected to be released before the end of 2019.

It appears GPEDC and its Joint Partnership Support Team, OECD and UNDP are not serious with this Global Call for Evidence Report Initiative. This is because all 193/306 UN Member States are Off Track achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge (None of the 17 Goals of the SDGs will be considered met if it is not achieved by All Peoples in All Countries) and if all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date, Massive Information, Research, Knowledge and Ambition Gaps need to be urgently filled. The implication is that any meaningful Global Call for Evidence Report need to identify these Gaps and suggests practical ways and means of effectively and efficiently filling same.

It is a Puzzle that the released Global Call for Evidence 2019 Part 1 is not only delayed and the serial release to end 2019 further prolongs this delay, as the Report is not fully released until Part 3 has been released, it is a Bigger Puzzle that Good Ideas and Pertinent Suggestions that could help to fill these Gaps have been edited out of the Report.

This Paper is a Shout Out to all relevant Authorities within and beyond GPEDC, OECD and UNDP to correct this ERROR before it is too late.


GPEDC Call for Evidence Report 2019 Part 1


Facing Facts

The Global all for Evidence 2019 Part 1 makes many assumptions that are simply wrong:-   
1.    UN Member States are moving from Whole of Government Approach to Whole of Society Approach. This is not true as these are simply buzz words that GPEDC, OECD and UNDP do not know the Origin. Records show UK Tony Blair Administration first came up with the idea of Whole of Government in the early part of his Prime Minister-ship. There will be no UK – EU Brexit Mess if the UK really understood what Whole of Government Approach means. Our Organization not only came up with what it means2 but as we keep improving the Concept3, we now state that Whole of Government Approach cannot Stand Alone but needs to be Integral Part of Whole of Community Approach, Whole of Bank Approach, Whole of Institution Approach, Whole of UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Approach and Whole of Society Approach as One, that is a One Worldwide Approach or Universal Approach – Common Approach, Systemic Approach with clear Principles, Instruments corresponding to each Principles, Practices and Database. EAG 3PCM4 is the only such Advance One Worldwide Approach available in our World today. Why was the Report silent on this Evidence?
2. UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and their National and International Partners are still in MDGs Mode – Individual Project and Global Charity Mode as at end 2nd Quarter 2019 Year 4 of Implementation when they should be in SDG Mode - Systemic Policies, Programs and Projects Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One. Why was the Report silent on this Evidence?
3. The 5 Year Evaluation of Paris Declaration, PD in 2010 was damning and led to establishment of Busan Declaration, BD in 2011 including GPEDC. Will 8 Year Evaluation of both BD and GPEDC in 2019 not be equally damning or even more damning? Why was the Report silent on the reality that the only Lessons Learnt for PD 2010 Evaluation is that in 2019 No Lessons have been Learnt?

EAG 3PCM One World-wide Approach


4.  UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and their National and International Partners pretend they are answering SDGs Pledge Delivery How Questions but always end up answering SDGs Pledge Delivery What Questions. What Questions are easy to answer and this explains why they have been over answered. HOW Questions are especially difficult to answer and demand minimum certain levels of Know HOW that is very scare and this explains why SDGs Pledge delivery HOW Questions are avoided or evaded. As long as SDGs Pledge Delivery HOW Questions are avoided or evaded, getting the Great Task that MUST be DONE in just 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date DONE will be Mirage or FLUKE. Should this be the case our Fragile Planet will be at Peril given WARNINGS by NASA and UNPCC. Why was the Report silent on this Evidence?
5.  Politics Matters and Leadership Matters and this is issue on both North and South Countries as UK – EU Brexit shows. The point is that Economic, Financial, Social, Cultural, Security, Peace, Climate Change, Religious, Technical etc Innovative Sustainable Solutions as applicable in each specific Community, Sub-National, National, Sub-Regional, Regional and Global location context without Political Innovation Sustainable Solutions as applicable in each specific Community, Sub-National, National, Sub-Regional, Regional and Global location context is No Issue or Amount to No Issue.  Why was the Report silent on this Evidence?
6.   CSOs/NGOs are largely adversarial to Governments, Business and Consultants yet the lack the Competencies and Resources to either on their own or in Collaboration with Government to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge. Major CSOs/NGOs operates to deliver on Contract with their Sponsors and many are Corrupt and this, the UN Knows very well. As long as CSOs/NGOs do not Change for Good and genuinely commit to contributing their quota towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge within Correct Diagnosis, Correct Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management Approach in National and International Development Cooperation5, they will continue to underperform. Why was the report Silent on this Evidence?
7.   Innovation and Creativity is the Answer. What is the Question? This was explained in detail. As long as these Global Consultations keep harvesting good ideas and pertinent suggestions they are interested in and not in the interest of achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date as well as not meaningfully involving Original Ideas Creators, 193/306 UN Member States will remain Off Track achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030. Why was the Report silent on this Evidence?

5     http://blogs.worldbank.org/governance/making-civil-society-integral-to-public-financial-management-reforms   Who Created Correct Diagnosis, Correct Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management Approach in International Development?

8.    GPEDC was advised to make Draft Report available for comments, especially by those whose Ideas and suggestions have been included. This way the Released Report will best represent Workable Ideas and will be easier to adopt and in way that better promote wider Utilization by relevant Stakeholders, that is the report will not be another Vision and Words without Action contributing little or nothing towards helping to get all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ½ years to end 2030 target date but will be Vision and Words with Action contributing little or nothing towards helping to get all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ½ years to end 2030 target date. Why did the Report reject this submission? Is the Probability of the Report as is HELPING all 193/306 UN Member States to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ Years remaining to end 2030 target date not VERY LOW?
9.      193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO; CSOs/NGOs; Donor Agencies Calling for Change to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030 are themselves blocking Needed Change required to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030. It is a Puzzle that Evidence provided was ignored.

Achieving Report Utility for Result – Urgent Need to Rewrite Report

The Report turned blind eye to the above facts and ignored evidence relating to Major Issues such as:-
1.      The Overarching Big Question is HOW to get all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ½ years remaining? As well as the Answer provided to this Big Question.
2.      The One Worldwide Approach that Work need to be:-
·  Whole of Community Approach; Whole of Bank Approach; Whole of Institution Approach; Whole of UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Approach; Whole of Government Approach; Whole of Country Approach and Whole of Society Approach as One;
· Deployed within Backbone Global MSP with Global and National Multi Stakeholder Partnerships/Platforms, MSPs for delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.
3. Assuming that Whole of Government Approach Worked in the past when overwhelming evidence showed this was not the case.
4.  Assuming that Whole of Society Approach is Working now when overwhelming evidence showed this is not the case

As long as 193/306 UN Member States Governments and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Entities do not know why Whole of Government Approach Failed in the past, they will not know HOW to design and delivery Whole of Society Approach that will Work to help all 193/306 UN Member States to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date. It is a Puzzle that Evidence provided in this regard was ignored.

GPEDC, OECD and UNDP have in this Report trivialized the Great Task that remain to be DONE, if all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 and they are Individually and Jointly turning blind eye to ultimate catastrophic consequences of failure to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge despite warnings by NASA and UNPCC. It is a Puzzle that Evidence provided in this regard was ignored.

GPEDC, OECD and UNDP have in this Report turned blind eye to the reality that Governance is Systems: Political, Economic, Social, Cultural and Institutions: Public Service, Civil Service, Security Service, Police Service, Military and Para Military, Legislative Service, Judicial Service. The Business of Government is Governance; that Governance makes a big difference to all of us in both North and South Countries: it determines if all Countries will get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.

This is because Governance determines our security from conflict, disease and destitution; our freedom to participate in our societies and to have a say in the way we are governed; and our opportunities to educate ourselves and to be economically productive, securing a better future for ourselves and our communities. For the poorest and most vulnerable, the difference that good, or particularly bad, governance makes to their lives is profound: the inability of government institutions to prevent conflict, provide basic security, or basic services can have life-or-death consequences; lack of opportunity can prevent generations of poor families from lifting themselves out of poverty; and the inability to grow economically and collect taxes can keep countries trapped in a cycle of aid-dependency. Understanding governance therefore is central to achieving development and ending conflict.

In the past 3 decades, records show that attempts to transfer Governance blueprints and ‘good practice’ from North Countries to South Countries met with repeated failure. In many cases Western models of public sector reform did not work when transplanted, and the introduction of multi-party elections failed to deliver genuine democracy. Yet with 11 ½ years to get all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge World Leaders still do not know Why Governance Models failed to achieve delivery on MDG Vision that is exclusive to Developing Countries and so they do not know HOW to Design and Deliver the much more robust SDG Vision that includes all 193/306 UN Member States.

If we are to know why one country may perform well in revenue collection, while apparently identical revenue-collection institutions elsewhere may fail to function; or why an electoral process in one country achieves coalitions for change, but the same process in another leads to political instability and even conflict, then we need to appreciate Humans as X Factor and tailor Governance as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.

GPEDC, OECD and UNDP have in this Report turned blind eye to the reality that Multi Stakeholder Partnerships/Platforms, MSP that Work between Northern and Southern: Researchers, Theoreticians, Professionals and Practitioners from both State Actors and Non State Actors sides necessary to better support authorities in each specific Local, Sub-National, National, Sub-Regional, Regional and Global location context, if all 193/306 UN Member States are to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.

These are just sample of omissions in the Report that explain why the Report is impotent in the great task of helping all 193/306 UN Member States get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030. To significantly boost the Report potency in this regard, there is no option than to rewrite and in way that does justice to available evidence.

Rewriting the Report – Key Issues

It is a puzzle that GPEDC, OECD and UNDP have no qualms delaying full release of the Report till end 2019, when available evidence show Great Task need to be done in limited time – 11 ½ years if all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge. If the Full Report is not released till end 2019, there will be just 11 years remaining for all 193/306 UN Member States to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge. As long as 193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and their National and International Partners keep working HARDer doing the same old things in the same old ways, achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge will be FLUKE or Mirage. One Day Delay in 193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO working SMARTer doing new things in new ways may be One Day too late to avoid ultimate catastrophic consequences of Failure to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030.

A Rewritten Global Call for Evidence Report 2019 that will enjoy wide utility for result on the sides of all relevant National and International Stakeholders in each specific Community, Sub-National, National, Sub-Regional, Regional and Global location context is One that meaningfully demonstrate Justice, Dignity and Integrity in processing the evidence – good ideas and pertinent suggestions generated in the Global Consultation into Outcome Document – the Report whose  Conclusions and Recommendations highlight Sustainable Solutions to real and complex root cause or primary cause National and International Development Cooperation problems on the ground in each specific Community, Sub-National, National, Sub-Regional, Regional and Global location context.

A Rewritten Global Call for Evidence Report 2019 that will enjoy wide utility for result will meaningfully address fundamental issues within the following Themes:-
1.    Approach: recognize that the Multiple Approaches many of which are divergent hinder achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge hence the need for One Worldwide Approach such as 3PCM. Without this the Whole of Society Approach the Report is suggestion has no meaning and cannot be operationalized in practice by relevant National and International Stakeholders in SDGs Pledge delivery by 2030. As long as this Multiple Approaches continue achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030 is FLUKE or Mirage.
2.   Planning inclusive of Research, Data, Statistics: identify Planning Framework – What needs to be Done to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030 in each of the 193/306 UN Member States and HOW.
3.   Implementation: identify Implementation Framework that deliver increasing convergence between Plan Projections and Reality in each of the 193/306 UN Member States
4.   Evaluation inclusive of Monitoring, Learning and Results: identify Evaluation Framework that identify What is Working and How it could be improved; What is not Working and How it could the corrected and that Build effective Bridge between Lessons Learning and Lessons Forgetting.
Additional Issues that would be addressed within Planning, Implementation and Evaluation Themes using One Worldwide Approach include Transparency, Accountability and Participation; Science, Technology and Innovation; Inclusive Education: Education for Sustainable Development; Education for Sustainable Production; Education for Sustainable Consumption and Education for Sustainable Citizenship and Inclusive Communication:  Communication for Sustainable Development; Communication for Sustainable Production; Communication for Sustainable Consumption and Communication for Sustainable Citizenship; Attitudinal and Behavioral Change Communication; Political and Behavioral Change Communication; Economic and Behavioral Change Communication; Social and Behavioral Change Communication; Cultural and Behavioral Change Communication; Climate Change and Behavioral Change Communication; Environmental and Behavioral Change Communication; Arts and Behavioral Change Communication; Entertainment, Education and Behavioral Change Communication; Development Impact and Behavioral Change Communication; Communication for Behavioral Impact; Changing Attitude and Behavior at Scale Communication as One that is within Universal / One Worldwide Approach / Whole of Society Approach is a Master Key for achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge. It is Fail in One Fai in All.

A Draft of this type of Global Call for Evidence Report 2019 can be produced within 4 weeks, if GPEDC, OECD and UNDP are guided by Technical Adviser and Reform Consultant who have the required Know How.

This Draft could be circulated for Global Consultation Input to improve language and text, with input of all whose ideas and suggestions have been processed into the Draft sought direct and a Final Draft released within 2 months, that is  by August 2019 a Report that achieve Good Utilization for Result could be released rather than waiting till end 2019 to release Final Report that has little or no utility in the work towards helping all 193/306 UN Member States to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

UNEMG New Model Approach Version 2 expected to be released in March 2019 is yet to be released. Version 1 like this Report has little or no utility. UNEMG may need to be guided by Technical Adviser and Reform Consultant who have the required Know How to develop New Model Approach Version 2 that does justice to available Evidence and deliver Utilization for Result. Again with required Know How that Version 2 will be released within 2 Months rather than this endless wait that may end up releasing Version 2 that omit key evidence.

UNDESA and UNDSDG New UN Partnership Strategy is expected to be released by HLPF July 2019. The New UN Partnership Strategy will be of little or no utility if it also makes the same mistake by ignoring evidence that deliver Utility for Result. UNDESA and UNDSDG may need to be guided by Technical Adviser and Reform Consultant who have the required Know How to develop New UN Partnership Strategy that does justice to available Evidence and deliver Utilization for Result. Again with required Know How a New UN Partnership Strategy will be released within 2 Months.

The 3 Reports that deliver Utilization for Results - Rewritten GPEDC Call for Evidence Report 2019; UNDESA/UNDSDG New UN Partnership Strategy 2019 (may need to be Rewritten) and UNEMG New Model Approach 2019 (may need to be Rewritten) are Key Instruments that all 193/306 UN member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and their National and International Partners need urgently if all 193/306 UN member States are to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.

Integrated Frameworks

MDGs 2000 – 2015 was for South Countries. SDGs 2015 – 2030 is for all 193/306 UN Member States. SDGs is World Transformation Agenda that is All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Agenda or Global Goals without Corresponding All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Master Plans as well as All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Processes.

GPEDC in processing some of our contributions came up with 3 in 1 Framework that we further improved upon that could be briefly described as each of the 193/306 UN Member States speedily developing:-

New National Vision Policy Document is a 3 in 1 Framework – Goals Framework: What the Nation want to achieve; Means Framework – HOW the Nation Will Effectively Mobilize the Resources – Influence, Manpower, Technology, Financial, Reform etc required to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by set 2030 target date and the Effectiveness Framework – HOW the Nation will meaningfully deploy the Resources to Implement and Evaluate Policies, Programs and Projects Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One to achieve  the Goals by set target date.

GPEDC knows that the Evidence confirm that None of the 193/306 UN Member States has produced this type of document. Rather than Speak TRUTH to Power GPEDC in this Report decide to be Politically correct thus putting our Fragile Planet in Jeopardy of Failing to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030 and all 8.5 Billion People, especially the 5 Billion Poor in our Word of 2030 will face the ultimate catastrophic consequences of this  GPEDC ERROR.

GPEDC SLM 13 – 14 July 2019 is Decision Hour. Will this GPEDC facade be allowed to continue or will GPEDC be FAITHFUL to the Evidence as it Adopts New Priorities and Faces New Direction?
  
SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 Investments

EAG estimate is US$ 700 Trillion is required to Fund SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 Investments in all 193/306 UN Member States. The bulk of this Money will come from Business and Banks with Consultants Support.  However Member States Governments, UNO, CSOs/NGOs and Donor Agencies do not want Partnership Strategy that allows Business, Banks and Consultants to make Profit from their SDGs Pledge Interventions/Investments and they have No Idea how to raise these Huge Investments from other sources.

Also the Competencies to Raise and Manage the Huge Investments reside in Business and Banks with support of Consultants.  Member States Governments, UNO, CSOs/NGOs and Donor Agencies do not want collaborate with Business, Banks and Consultants.

Member States Governments, UNO, CSOs/NGOs and Donor Agencies cannot eat their cake and have it. They must know that SDGs Concepts of Work Together Benefit Together and Leave No One Behind means they must support Partnership Strategy with Business, Banks and Consultants that help raise required US$ 700 Trillion Investment for SDGs Pledge Delivery.

GPEDC SLM 13 – 14 July 2019 – Decision Hour?

If GPEDC, OECD and UNDP as well as the entire UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO had been delivering on their responsibilities UK and EU will not have Brexit problems today.

If World Leaders keep looking on and Brexit as Force for Evil Catalyze UK National Crisis that make worst UK National Crisis in recent Centuries Child’s Play then UK Woes and EU Woes will have contagion effect on other North Countries and South Countries Worldwide with African Countries taking greatest HIT for matter they know nothing about and our World will fail to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030.

Brexit as Force for Good is a Key Driver of Global Collective Action to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.

A year after DCF 2018 and HLPF 2018, it is still Business as Usual rather than Business Unusual. This is likely to remain the reality by DCF 2020 and HLPF 2020 unless urgent remedial action is taken.

With HLPF 2019 just a few days to go, the probability is high that its outcome will repeat error of HLPF 2018. If World Leaders are serious about achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by 2030, then they will be serious about implementing National and International Development Cooperation Radial/Fundamental and Rapid/Fast Change – the overarching outcome of DCF 2018 and without further delay.

GEPDC SLM 2019 is Decision Hour. The SLM needs to undertake Critical Review of this Paper. Outcome of this SLM will show if GPEDC is Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution.  If GPEDC is Part of the Innovative Sustainable Solutions to SDGs Pledge Delivery in all 193/306 UN Member States in 11 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date, the GPEDC will Face New Direction and Adopt New Priorities after SLM 2019.

Way Forward

If the Report is to be relevant and utilized by 193/306 UN Member States, UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Entities and their National and International Partners in all 193/306 UN Member States then all the serious issues of serious business demanding serious GPEDC, OECD and UNDP serious attention6, as well as the serious attention of all 193/306 UN Member States all remaining UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF and WTO Entities and all other relevant National and International Stakeholders7 need to be speedily addressed.

The time of dancing around these issues is over. Now is time to meaningfully address same if 193/306 UN Member States presently accelerating on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM are to Change and start accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM.

No One Individual, Institution or Government has all the answered to all its SDGs Pledge Delivery How Questions. What EAG has is Framework for aligning and harmonizing all the Good Answers. As no One Knows when Member States will race past irreversibility on the MADning Road to DOOM, One Day Delay by 193/306 UN Member States and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and their National and International partners may be One Day too late. 

The Time for National and International Stakeholders to start working better and jointly towards finding Innovative Sustainable Solutions, fully implementing these Solutions with effective Monitoring and Evaluation of this Implementation in the Common Interest, Common Future and Common Destiny of all Peoples in all Countries is NOW.
Conclusion

GPEDC, OECD and UNDP owe it to themselves and 8 Billion People, especially the 5 Billion Poor Children, Youth, Girls, Women, Men and Elders in our World of 2030 to speedily correct ERRORS of Omission or Commission in this Report and without Delay

It is our hope that Bright Prospects of Success would not be lost.
