Achieving AAAA, SDG and COP21 Outcome Document Vision and Words with
Action Agenda by 2030 in 193 Member States – Part 5
His Excellency Mr. Andrej Logar, Chairperson of
the 70th General Assembly Second Committee and Permanent Representative of Slovenia
to the United Nations, convened the first informal
consultations with NGOs in consultative status with ECOSOC on the agenda and work of the
Second Committee on 22 October 2015, at the United Nations Headquarters. A
summary of the proceedings will be made available to Member States in advance
of the draft GA resolutions to be tabled later this month to be negotiated in
November & December.
This innovative step in the Second
Committee represents a unique opportunity for civil society to share its
distinctive perspective and concrete inputs to Member States’ deliberations on
the Committee’s agenda and work in order
to better respond to the challenges of implementing the Agenda 2030 for
Sustainable Development.
The consultations included six speakers,
selected to address either of the following questions:
1. How can the Second Committee ensure that
its work is in line with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development?
2. How should the agenda of the Second
Committee look like in the coming years?
A Call was made to interested persons to provide brief and
concrete written contributions, which will be posted on CSONet. We prepared Part
1 in response to the Call and in time for consideration at the 9 October
meeting preparatory to this consultation and we started by expanding the
Questions:-
Expanded Questions
addressed in Part 1
1.
How can the Methods
of Work of the GA Second Committee be effectively Aligned and Harmonized with
the objectives of AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, together with the Agendas
of ECOSOC and all remaining GA Committees – 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 to eliminate overlap
and duplication?
2.
How should the
Agendas of ECOSOC and GA Committees 1 – 6 look like in the coming years 2016 –
2030?
We prepared Part 2 for consideration at the Wednesday meeting
of 14 October 2015, based on additional information available to us. We prepared
Part 3 and Part 4 for consideration at the Wednesday meeting of 21 October 2015.
In Part 4 we underlined the need for all 5 questions raised by His Excellency,
Mr Logjar at the 9 October 2015 meeting to be fully addressed at the 22 October
2015 Consultation. That is:-
High Priority Aims and Objectives of
Key Task of GA Second Committee on Continuously Improving its Working Methods
and Rationalization of its Agenda:-
1.
Revitalization of the work of the GA
which calls for proposals for biennialization, triennializaton, clustering and
elimination of items on the Agenda of the GA.
2.
Revitalization of the work of the GA Second
Committee which calls for proposals on the rationalisation of the General
Debate and Introduction of Agenda Item Debates.
3.
Contribute to the fulfilment of GA
mandates, particularly that contained in resolution 68/1, which provided that
the ECOSOC and the GA especially its Second and Third Committees, should
consider and take steps towards the rationalization of their Agendas by
eliminating duplication and overlap, and promoting complimentarity in the
consideration and negotiation of similar or related issues.
4.
Address the provisions of resolution
69/321, as the main outcome of the Ad-Hoc Working Group on the Revitalization
of the work of the GA where each Main Committee is requested to discuss its
working methods at the beginning and end of every session.
5.
Ensure that the future work of the GA
Second Committee is fully aligned with the Integrated Vision of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development and the AAAA
Key Questions that need to be
answered in Design and Delivery of above Key Task:-
1.
As currently constituted, can the
Agenda of this Committee effectively support the promotion and integration of
the three dimensions of sustainable development?
2.
Could sustainable development become
an overarching framework for the Agenda of the Committee? What are the options
for rearranging the Agenda as a whole to reflect this approach?
3.
What implications, if any, would this
approach have for the outcomes and resolutions adopted by the Committee?
4.
Do the items in our Agenda adequately
cover the main aspects of the 2030 Agenda?
5.
What are the gaps to be filled,
bearing in mind also the work and Agenda of the Third Committee? How should the
Second Committee fulfil its main mandates vis-a-vis other main Bodies and
Platforms, such as the Third Committee, ECOSOC and HLPF?
It will be recalled
that we stated in Part 4 “Given the guidelines set by the GA
Second Committee Chair, the two questions the Second Committee set for itself,
deletes many aspects of the five questions set by Mr Logar. The expanded
questions we have set out above address more issues but still leave out some
aspects of the five questions. This underlines urgent need for the 21 October
Meeting to revert to the Original Objectives and Five Questions”.
Our hope was that the Four Papers could help enrich the work
of GA Second Committee and other Village to Global Stakeholders towards
achieving increasing convergence between revised AAAA, revised SDG and COP21
Outcome Document Vision Intention and Reality in each Community in each Local
Government in each of the 193 Member States that is Interlinked, Interconnected
and Interdependent with work towards achieving increasing convergence between
Agenda 21, UNSDS 2015 Outcome Document, Synthesis Report, Data Revolution
Report, World Development Report of the World Bank Group - WDR 2004 (Public
Sector Management, PSM), WDR 2008 (Agriculture), WBG New PSM (2011), WDR 2014
(Risk Management), WDR 2015 (Attitudinal and Behavioural Change), FAO
Conference on Hunger and Poverty Program of Action 1995 etc Vision Intention
and Reality in each Community in each Local Government in each of the 193
Member States.
Outcome 22 October
2015 Consultation
UNDESA described the Consultation as
an “innovative step” and had prepared a “Discussion Paper” ahead of the
Consultation based on the Second Committee’s 9 October meeting preparatory to
the Consultation.
Comment
How “All Inclusive, All Embracing and
Ambitious” was the “Discussion Paper” prepared by UNDESA? Why is it the case
that suggestion to revert to the “Original Objectives and 5 questions” was
avoided or evaded? Have many issues that should have been addressed at the
Consultation not been left untouched? Is 22 October 2015 Consultation Outcome
not essentially answer to What and Why questions? Have How questions – the
reason for the Consultation not been left unanswered? Should answer to AAAA and
SDG How questions still be an issue now that World Leaders endorsed SDG on 25
September 2015? Is seeking answer to How questions not at least One year behind
and should meaningful effort not be made by all concerned stakeholders to cover
lost ground?
If World Leaders do not know why
Synthesis Report December 2014 and Data Revolution Report November 2014 How
questions have not been answered to date, they will not know how to answer
AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21 etc How questions.
If World Leaders, UNDESA, EOSG, UNGA,
ECOSOC, HLPF, 193 Member States are serious about adopting Business Unusual,
should the ECOSOC Dialogue on Longer Term Positioning of the UN Development
System Retreat 2 tentatively scheduled for 2 – 3 November 2015 (or whatever
date it holds) not be a Starting Point for Demonstrating and being seen to Demonstrate
the good ideas and pertinent suggestions set out in this Paper and earlier
Papers 1 – 4?
Moderator Barbara Adams, Chair, Global Policy Forum, said the
revitalization of the Second Committee could contribute to strengthening the UN
as a global center for doing business, as there are parts of the 2030 Agenda
that UN Member States currently relegate to other fora or institutions. She
noted the need to translate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)' ambition
into something structural, focusing on the practical aspects to ensure that
Member States and stakeholders "go beyond New York" in
implementation, and that they pool their expertise. She said the Second
Committee's current working methods do not enable that. Adams cautioned that
integration should not undermine deepness and specificity, and proposed
thinking of UN's bodies' and committees' functional roles, in order to avoid
duplication.
Comment
Can all fundamental issues raised by Ms Adams be
effectively addressed without clear answers to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome
Document, Agenda 21 etc How questions? In what way has Ms Adams contribution
addressed either the 2 How questions that UNDESA insisted Consultation focusing
upon or the much larger focus on Original Objective and 5 questions set by Mr
Logar? Can these fundamental issues raised by Mr Logar be wished away or
expected to happen on its own? Can these answers be found without World Leaders
effectively addressing all points raised in this Part 5 and earlier Parts 1 –
4?
Louise Kantrow, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), said civil
society could offer guidance to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable
Development (HLPF). She stressed that everybody needs to become “fit for
purpose,” not only the UN, and said many corporations are conducting mapping
exercises to see how their work addresses one or more of the SDGs.

and earlier Parts 1 – 4?
Jeffery Huffines, CIVICUS, urged the Second Committee to
strengthen the HLPF, and identified three structural deficits of the HLPF.
First, he said the Forum's decision-making mandate is "ambiguous at best,”
that its institutional governance should be strengthened, and that a steering
committee and advisory group comprised of stakeholders should be established to
provide guidance to the HLPF. He also noted the shortage of time allocated for
the HLPF, calling for a five-day preparatory session to take place during the
spring; and highlighted a shortage of resources, including the absence of a
"well-resourced secretariat." He suggested establishing a trust fund
to ensure capacity building and stakeholders' participation.

and earlier Parts 1 – 4?
It is pertinent to note that Mr. Huffines is the
Member Wednesday Group saddled with responsibility to make Recommendations for
Implementation of UNSDS 2015 Outcome and Agenda 21. Should Mr. Huffines presentation
not have shared key aspects of these Recommendations? Should these
Recommendations not have been subjected to debate at the Wednesday Group and
Second Committee open to Global Virtual Contribution before the Second
Committee make Recommendation to all relevant UN authorities on the
Implementation of UNSDS 2015 Outcome and Agenda 21 as well as the Monitoring
and Evaluation of this Implementation? Should these Recommendations not have
enriched the 22 October 2015 Consultation? Can World Leaders, UNDESA etc be
Parroting Change that is Business Unusual but Acting Anti Change that is
Business as Usual and expect meaningful Progress in the implementation and
evaluation of AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21, FAO Conference on
Hunger and Poverty Action Plan etc?
Jean Krasno, Academic Council on the UN System, noted that
women's economic and political empowerment go hand-in-hand: to secure property
rights, women need to be part of political decision-making structures. She
explained that, for economic empowerment, women need access to credit, thus
ownership of land, property, and bank accounts, and therefore women need to be
part of the political processes on these matters.

effectively addressed without clear answers to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome

called for CSOs to make the 2030 Agenda an item on their respective
organizations' agendas, including with regard to reporting.

that: companies pay their fair share of taxes; countries' national spaces are
respected so they can devise relevant policies; and the space for civil
society's participation is enlarged.

Bhumika Muchhala, Third World Network, said the 2030
Agenda offers the opportunity to strengthen the Second Committee's mandate,
including on macroeconomic issues, and cited the need for strong cooperation
and dialogue among the follow-up of the Second Committee's resolutions, the

In the discussion that followed, Brazil said the example set by the Second
Committee's consultation with CSOs should be followed by other Committees. He
said discussion on adapting the Committee's agenda to the 2030 Agenda should
not be limited to the Second and the Third Committees (Social, Humanitarian and
Cultural), as issues such as the rule of law, peaceful institutions, or
non-proliferation pertain also to the First (Disarmament and International
Security), Fourth (Political and Decolonization), Fifth (Administrative and
Budgetary) and Sixth (Legal) Committees. Brazil said civil society needs to
stay “engaged and vigilant,” especially on issues that do not have designated
bodies within the UN – such as SDG 10 on inequality – and support the
implementation of new mandates, such as the Technology Facilitation Mechanism
(TFM).

It is pertinent to note that Brazil’s contribution coincide
with our submission that the fundamental issues under discussion concern not
just the Second and Third Committees but all the six existing GA Committees and
go beyond this to include urgent need to establish six new GA Committees to
address Key Issues not addressed in existing Committees.
Switzerland said reviewing the Second Committee's work to support
the 2030 Agenda is “tricky,” requiring “sufficient time and deliberation,” and
sought for input from civil society on how to structure the HLPF in order to
attract the participation of ministers from all ministries and mayors.

Representatives of civil society: said SDG 3 on health must be fully
integrated in the UN General Assembly (UNGA)'s agenda, as it spans the work of
both the Second and the Third Committees, and suggested joint sessions of the
two Committees on issues related to SDG 3; stressed the need for the Second
Committee to work with UNGA to give more prominence to geospatial management
systems/geostatiscs; called to account for people with disabilities; and urged
making CSO participation inclusive, rather than selective.

be found without World Leaders effectively addressing all points raised in this
Part 5 and earlier Parts 1 – 4?
It is pertinent to note that CSOs’ in attendance
singled out SDG 3 for discussion. Why were the remaining 16 of 17 SDGs’
omitted? It is pertinent to note further that an open letter to Co Chairs IAEG
– SDG Indicators highlight important issues of Human Rights in all its
Ramifications; Measuring Every Part of the Agenda; Collecting Disaggregated
Data; Data for Governments and other Duty Bearers Accountability; Easy to
Measure, Costly to Measure, Number of Indicators should not be Indicator Choice
Criteria; Indicator Choice Criteria should support Indivisibility and
Interdependence of all 17 SDG; Universality to enable comparison of progress
within and between Countries, Regions and Globally; Focus on People in ways
that effectively deliver meaningful Changes in the lives of ordinary People in
each Community in each Local Government in each of the 193 Member States.
Report on proceedings at the ongoing IEAG-SDG Conference in Thailand suggest
that these fundamental issues that ought to have been settled remain
contentious. Had the 22 October 2015 meeting endorsed the position in the CSOs’
open letter, would the IEAG-SDG Conference be seeking to reverse issues that
had been settled?
Do World Leaders, UNDESA, EOSG, UNGA, ECOSOC, HLPF and
Partners recognize that correct answer to all AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document,
Agenda 21, FAO Conference on Hunger and Poverty Action Plan etc How questions
lie in the DOING? That without immediately:-
1.
Appointing
Reform Adviser and Global Coordinating Consultant on AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome
Document, etc Policy Coherence, Coordination, Collaboration and Cooperation for
Sustainable Development, P4CSD to UNGA, ECOSOC and HLPF and Partners
2.

It will be uphill task achieving increasing
convergence between AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21, FAO Conference
on Hunger and Poverty etc Vision Intention and Reality. If these Visions are
not achieved by 2030 Target date, the ultimate consequences for our Fragile
Planet could be catastrophic.
About ISPE / EAG
Lanre and colleagues have for over twenty years
made great sacrifices, demonstrated uncommon zeal and exceptional patriotism in
continuing constructive engagement of relevant sub-national, national and international
stakeholders, to jointly focus on comprehensive systemic solutions to our real
and complex national political, economic, social, security, cultural and
religious problems on the ground.
In this period
we have been working spiritedly towards helping to make Nigeria, Africa, UK,
Europe, US and World Hunger and Poverty history and in record time. In this
period also, our Lanre Rotimi (Nigerian) and Dr. Hellmut Eggers (German) have
created 3PCM, Policy, Program, Project Cycle Management Approach to Benefits
focused National and International Development Cooperation – the most advance
such Approach in our World today. 3PCM has been tried and tested, the Biggest
Test so far in NIPOST 2000 – 2001.
3PCM uses
Living Strategy or Communication Strategy and so it is Dynamic and continuing
to improve daily. Glorious Heights reached by NIPOST at the time has NEVER been
equalled even when NIPOST later received Technical Support from Netherlands /
Dutch Postal Administration. We have built considerable expertise, experience
and exposure in Nigeria, UK and EC that bring Whole of Nigeria, Africa, UK,
Europe, US and World Thinking to bear in finding practical solutions to all
identified complex systemic problems in Nigeria, Africa, UK, Europe, US and
World, fully implementing the solutions and effectively monitoring and
evaluating this implementation in ways that achieve increasing convergence
between National and Global Development Cooperation Goals and Targets Intention
and Reality and on scheduled dates.

EAG has in the
past 20 years spent over US$2 Million (N300 Million) to Develop the 3PCM
Approach as well as its National and Global Development Cooperation Practical
Solutions under Blended Volunteer Services and Commercial Services Arrangement
within which we provided the Nigeria Federal Government alone Consultancy
Services worth over UK Pounds 10 Million (N2.5 Billion) Free of Charge. This is
Evidence that we do not have purely Commercial Interest but are Motivated by
Service to Humanity as the Best Work of Life, hence two of our Slogans – Let Us
Work Together to Benefit Together and …Building a Brighter Future as we
Configure our World.
Conclusion
In this Paper and four earlier Papers we
have raised serious issues of serious business that deserve the serious
attention of World Leaders, 193 Member States, UN Family Organization and
Partners from Village to Global levels. Each day delay in addressing these
fundamental issues is one day too long.
It is a puzzle that World Leaders, EOSG, UNDESA,
UNGA, ECOSOC, HLPF and partners appear to be sincere in the search for sound
and sustainable solutions to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21, FAO
Conference on Hunger and Poverty Action Plan etc How questions but consistently
reject the most Comprehensive – All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious
answer to these How questions, available anywhere in our World today. Can World
Leaders, EOSG, UNDESA, UNGA, ECOSOC, HLPF and Partners recognize correct answer
to these How questions when presented to them?
The ultimate consequences of failure to
achieve 2030 Agenda Targets in each of the 193 Member States could be
catastrophic. This is avoidable should World Leaders take positive Action on ideas
and suggestions set out in Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3, Paper 4, Paper 5 and
supporting documents – available upon request.
We are willing to offer a more detailed
information / clarification as directed by GA Second Committee and or other
relevant UN Authority.
