17 November 2015 UN Security Council Open Debate Working Paper:
Achieving AAAA, SDG and COP21 Outcome Document Vision and Words with
Action Agenda by 2030 – Central Role for UN Security Council
World Leaders endorsed
SDG on 25 September 2015 that is Vision and Words without Action. Spirited
effort is ongoing at Global level to find answer to SDG How questions – a
necessary condition for converting the SDGs into Vision and Words with Action. This
effort is at least one year behind. If correct answer to SDG How question is
not found on time and in ways that make up for lost time, the probability is
high that the Global Goals will not be achieved by 2030 Target date. Allowed to
occur in reality, the ultimate consequences could be catastrophic for all
stakeholders in our fragile Planet.
The UK Presidency of the
UN Security Council is organizing an Open Debate on 17 November 2015 with the
aim of enhancing the Council’s understanding of how its work
relates to and can better support development, particularly for transitions,
and the range of tools at the Council’s disposal for prevention. The Debate
will focus on:-
1. The
connections between peace and security and development, in the context of
pursuing peaceful societies and supporting the Council’s prevention agenda.
2. Addressing
root causes is equally beneficial and important to conflict prevention as it is
to sustainable development.
3. An
effective Council able and ready to act decisively and preventively through
efficiently supporting sustainable development needs
4. Governing
the interface between security and development in matters of international
peace and security
5. Addressing
Council Joined-up Approach to working across
the security-development spectrum, including whether this could ever amount to
joint working towards shared objectives – while remembering that this is not a
debate about the Council implementing and or evaluating the SDGs, AAAA, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21 etc.
6. What
more can the Security Council do to promote understanding of the
interdependence of peace and development, and the central importance of
inclusive institutions, the rule of law, and access to justice to the
achievement of both peace and development.
7. What
more the Council should be doing to address a range of issues that can lead to
conflict and which stunt and prevent peaceful societies taking root. This
includes, in particular, a lack of inclusivity in policies, lack of equal
access to services, politics and government, weak and unaccountable
institutions, lack of respect for fundamental rights and freedoms. This also
has to include how the Council ensures that women and girls are engaged and
active in peace settlements as much as they are and should be engaged in gender
sensitive development programming. Conflict-sensitive programming and political
and conflict analysis is just as important where peace operations are deployed
as in UN Country Team settings, especially those operating in post-conflict
environments.
The Council
accept that some of the roots to conflict stunt development and, welcome, views
on how to address (1) – (7).
The Council
states clearly that its objective is not development, per se. Rather it is to
act to maintain international peace and security; in doing so it reinforces
that the peace and security agenda and the development agenda share common
aims.
We urge
Council to reflect deeper on its intentions for organizing this Open Debate at
this time and come to clearer understanding, appreciation and recognition of
the inter-linkages, interconnectivity and interdependence between Security and
Defence, Development, Diplomacy, Human Rights, Data, Monitoring and Evaluation,
Trade, Debts, Service Delivery, Corruption, Aid, Knowledge and Communication,
Subsidy, Pricing and Markets and Political Leadership. This is likely to lead
to the conclusion that fail in one is fail in all. Therefore the Overarching
Objective of the Council can and should be World Sustainable Development not
Peace, Security and Development which are just three of the Multiple Components
of World Sustainable Development.
In the work
to achieve this Overarching Objective through Design and Delivery of World
Sustainable Development Strategy, WSDS – AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21
etc as One, the Central Role for which the Council has a Duty and
Responsibility of the International Peace and Security Component of the WSDS.
If the UN Security
Council, ECOSOC, HLPF, UNGA, GA 6 (12) Committees, G8, G20, G77 + China, EU, AU
and equivalent Regional Bodies is to each deliver its quota in the work towards
finding correct answer to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21 etc How
questions that effectively address International Peace and Security Component,
Development, Diplomacy and Data Component and all remaining Components of WSDS,
all fundamental issues raised in this Paper and earlier Papers need to be
discussed, negotiated and established and as soon as possible. They cannot be
left to happen on their own.
Acid Test of Credibility
The Acid Test of
Credibility of UN Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015, ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November
2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 is
How each event help Deliver Sustainable Solutions for effectively and
efficiently tackling real and complex:-
1.
Risk Management
Root problems
2.
Geodesign
Management Root Problems
3.
Other Disciplines
Management Root Problems
4.
End Hunger and
Poverty by 2025 and 2030 Root problems
5.
Aid Effectiveness
and Post 2015 Development Agenda Root problems
6.
Governance and
Globalization Working for the World Poor Root problems
7.
Creating Learning
Society in over 200 Countries Root problems
8.
Creating
Development Change Champions in over 200 Countries Root problems
9.
Changing Attitude
and Behaviour at Scale in over 200 Countries Root Problems
10. Building National and Global Collective Action Driving
TRANSFORMATION of Society Root problems
on the ground from Neighbourhood to Global levels facing Individuals,
Institutions and Governments (all arms and all tiers in all countries –
developed and developing) in our World today.
New Ideas, New Thinking, New Ways of Doing Things
We gave the Concept
of Whole of Bank Thinking to World Bank New Public Sector Management, New PSM
Vision Team in 2011. Had WBG achieved increasing convergence between New PSM
Vision Intention and Reality in the past four years, the Final Push to achieve
MDG by 2015 would have achieved much more and the flaws and failures in the
Post 2015 Development Agenda including AAAA, SDG and COP21 would have been
significantly less.
We are the only
Institution that can help WBG to effectively deploy New PSM Vision in Countries
where WBG operate. As long as any Institution(s) / Individual(s) that create
any idea(s) in any National or Global: Consultative Meeting / Research / Study;
Course / Conference / Workshop that WBG accept, are not meaningfully involved
in the Implementation of Recommendations arising from such ideas, like Investment
Climate Reform, CLEAR, PSM etc such WBG Initiatives will continue to
underperform. It regrettable that World Bank New Risk Management, NRM Vision
2014, follow the same old path and so instead of achieving promised new results,
it’s the same old Scorecard of underperformance. It is more regrettable that
New Geodesign Management, NGM Vision and other Discipline Vision suffer the
same malady.
Words of Wisdom
We wish to
highlight some Words of Wisdom.
1.
Your Enemy is your
Friend – Timarattie – Special Person and Participant WBG Risk Management MOOC
2014
2.
Evil thrive when
Good Men / Women sit down looking on
3.
All huge and
complex problems become smaller and simple (not simplistic) to tackle, if you don’t
dodge, avoid or evade them; if you don’t rationalize; explain or wish away; if
you don’t punish, victimize or demonize Advocates of divergent views.
4.
The First Person a
Leader must Lead is himself / herself.
5.
He / She who comes
to Equity must come with clean hands
6.
A Goldfish has No
Hiding Place
7.
Light Always
overpower Darkness. Be the Light of the World
8.
UN Family
Organization, including WBG, IEG-WBG, IMF; Commonwealth, G20, G77 + China, EU
need to Individually and Jointly Build Neighbourhood to Global Assembly of
Champions – True Development Change Champions: who are Good Geniuses; Genuine
and Committed – Grassroots and Advance Professionals; Trained and Retrained
Anti Poverty Fighters
9.
When a Man /
Woman’s ways please God, HE makes even his Enemies to be at Peace with him /
her
10. When you point One accusing finger, Four fingers are
pointing back at you
11. First take out the LOG in your eye so that you can see
clearly to take out the speck in another persons’ eye. The speck in the others
eye is from the LOG in your eye.
12. How can you claim to LOVE God who you do not see, when
you do not LOVE Man / Woman who you see.
Natural Disaster, Natural Hazards, Unnatural
Disaster and Unnatural Hazards, NHNDUHUD
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction,
UNISDR say that “There is no such thing as “Natural Disaster”, only “Natural
Hazards” and that Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR aims to reduce the damage caused
by Natural Hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through an
“Ethic of Prevention”.
Disaster Risk Reduction, DRR aims to reduce the damage
caused by Natural Hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones
through the ethic of prevention. We wish to add to this list desertification
and humans. Just as Humans are the most valuable resource of any Organization
or Country, Humans are also the most dangerous Hazards in any Organization or
Country. Our view is that Natural Hazards cause Natural Disasters; that
Organizations or Countries that effectively manage their Humans perform better
at Disaster Risk Reduction, DRR and Organizations or Countries that Undermanage
or Mismanage their Humans will perform poorer at DRR.
Organizations or Countries that are High Fliers in DRR
need to give more support to Organizations or Countries that are lagging behind
meeting minimum Global DRR Standards because our Global Village is more
interconnected, interlinked and interdependent than ever before such that DRR
shortcomings in Lagging Organizations or Countries could have catastrophe
consequences for High Flier Organizations or Countries.
Of course, having Great potential and Actualizing this
Great potential are two very different things. The former is meaningless
without the later. The later depends on Choice made by all Panellists, Delegates, Participants (Physical or
Virtual) who accept UN Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015, ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November
2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 and if the number of Panellists, Delegates, Participants
(Physical or Virtual) that freely make Right Choice are in sufficient numbers
to Catalyze needed Change from Village to Global levels as well as in each
Community in each Local Government in each of 193 Member States.
How can we best understand and respond to the Threats
Natural Hazards – earthquakes, floods, desertification, droughts, cyclones and
humans pose to Human Safety and well being? 20 years after the Concept of Human
Security was first put forward in UNDP 1994 Human Development Report, what is
the Scorecard of UN Agencies, Developed Countries, Developing Countries and
Partners – Neighbourhood to Global Implementing Human Security? Is Human
Security a problem only for people in Developing Countries and Post Conflict
Countries or problems also for the most wealthy and industrialised Countries as
Hurricane Katrina and Japan Tsunami show?
Can these fundamental issues be effectively addressed
without simultaneously addressing fundamental issues within NRM Vision, NGM
Vision and related Visions identified by ISPE / EAG as One Integrated Vision?
With One year to go for MDG and UNSIDR Hyogo Framework of Action, what can be
gained pursuing NRM and NGM as 2 sides of the same coin within the One
Integrated Vision in the work towards achieving Final Push to achieve MDGs’ by
2015 and Post 2015 Development Agenda Ambitions?
Our Study finding is that
addressing real and complex Natural and Unnatural Hazards and Natural and
Unnatural Disasters Management problems on the ground from Neighborhood to
Global levels on Developed Countries, Developing Countries, International Institutions
and University Community sides is less of Science and more of Politics; that
there is enough Resources: Influence, Science, Technology, Innovation, Art,
Funding, Manpower, Spiritual, Land and Water available to the over 200
Countries in our World today, if New Sub-national, National and Institutional
Order – Political and Cultural; Economic and Financial; Social and
Environmental; Peace and Security, and Religious and Moral could be evolved;
that the UN Security Council through the UN 70th General Assembly, UN
Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015,
ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16
November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 is individually and
collectively the Starting Point and UK Presidency of UN Security Council and ECOSOC
President is each Key to ACTIVATING this Starting Point.
We urge World Leaders and
Global Citizens to recognize that dealing with fundamental issues of World
Sustainable Development, of which Security, Peace and Development are essential
Components, is a FAITH Based undertaken that cannot be pursued for Sustainable
Success without Optimism, sometimes at huge level even in the face of bleak
realities.
The effort to tackle Natural and Unnatural
Hazards and Natural and Unnatural Disasters Management problems on the ground
in our World today would be at least double the effort required to achieve
success in the last two successful
world movements – movement against slavery and movement against apartheid and
it is not beyond Sub-national, National and International Development
Cooperation Stakeholders in our World today to Mobilize this Effort.
It is in the Common Interest, Common Future and Common
Humanity of all Citizens in Developed and Developing Countries to help RESCUE
our Fragile Planet through helping to ensure the Effort Delivers World
Sustainable Development in way that effectively address NHNDUHUD real and
complex problems on the ground in 193 Member States to achieve AAAA, SDG, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21 etc Vision ambitions by 2030 Target date in each Community,
in each Local Government in 193 Member States.
4 Quotations
1
NEPAD embraces every aspect of our life – political,
economic, social. The reason is the fact that these are interconnected and
interdependent. You cannot want to move forward economically without first of
all having the political base for moving forward economically, you cannot want
to move forward socially without having the political and economic base to move
forward socially. So if you pay attention to one while leaving the other, you
will be deceiving yourself.
Nigeria President Obasanjo: in early days of NEPAD in
2002.

..... Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue
and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Holy Bible: Philippians 4: 19
3
Suggested Principles to guide the Structure,
Organization and Content of Sub-national, National and International
Development Cooperation Dialogue:-
1.
No One Individual, Institution or Government has all
the answers to all the problems.
2.
Shift away from problems and passing blame and shift
towards solutions and opportunities.
3.
Shift away from talking and thinking and shift towards
action and accomplishment.
4.
Shift away from acquiring knowledge for knowledge sake
and shift towards acquiring wisdom for solution sake.
5.
Shift away from science advancing academic knowledge
and shift towards science advancing corporate productivity.
6.
Shift away from politics of investment and shift
towards politics of service
7.
Work together: Benefit together.

Knowing what we don’t
want other people to do to us and Knowing what we should not do to them is what
the Bible calls CONSCIENCE. The Conscience is God’s Law written in the heart
and the Mind of Man - Men, Women, Youth and Children in both Developed and
Developing Countries in our World today. Even if Man doesn’t have the Bible
(that is Faithfuls in other Religions – Orthodox or Traditional or profess no
Religion – Atheists) he / she has his / her Conscience. The Conscience is the
Pagan’s substitute for the Law - the Ten Commandments in Old Testament or
Golden Rule in New Testament in Christian Religion. Always remember that in God’s
sight, the Conscience has Tremendous Authority. We are to obey it, if we are to
make Right Choice between Work against Nature and Perish and Work with Nature
and Prosper in each Community – Neighborhood to Global in our World today.
The Authority of Conscience
– Our Conscience: We all Know Right from Wrong.
These 4 Quotations are
Food for thought that all Panellists,
Delegates, Participants (Physical or Virtual) who accept UN
Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015,
ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16
November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 can and should raise
serious Natural and Unnatural Hazards and Natural and Unnatural Disasters
Management Issues of serious business that deserve their serious attention.
Finding
Correct Answers to How Questions
We agree that finding answers to New Geodesign
Management / New Risk Management / New Public Sector Management / other
Discipline Management How questions is tough. However, is this not the Heart of
New Geodesign Management / New Risk Management / New Public Sector Management /
other Discipline Management? Our study finding is that answers to How questions
make or break Design and Delivery of New Geodesign Management / New Risk
Management / New Public Sector Management / other Discipline Management Concept
in any Community / Constituency in each of the 193 Member States.
We perceive reluctance to tackle How Questions arise
from New Geodesign Management / Risk Management / New Public Sector Management
/ other Discipline Management language that currently exclude Common Agreement
/ Common Definition on taxonomy e.g. Is New Geodesign / New Risk Management /
New Public Sector Management etc an Intervention, Instrument or Approach?
If
Intervention – What are the Instruments and what is the Approach deployed to
plan, implement, evaluate New Geodesign Management / New Risk Management / New
Public Sector Management etc Policy,
Program, Project Interventions, 3PIs’?
If Instrument
– What is the Approach within which New Geodesign Management / New Risk
Management / New Public Sector Management etc 3PIs’ are planned, implemented and evaluated?
If Approach –
What are the clear Principles, Instruments corresponding to each Principle,
Practices and Database within which New Geodesign Management / New Risk
Management / New Public Sector Management etc 3PIs’ are planned, implemented and evaluated?
It is pertinent to note that New Risk Management, NRM
Vision and the NGM Vision are essentially 2 sides of the same coin. While NRM
addressed the Economic Dimension of NHNDUHUD the NGM addresses the Environmental
Dimension of NHNDUHUD. NRM and NGM on their own, are insufficient, to achieve
World Sustainable Development Vision. They
both need to be complimented by other Visions e.g. World Bank: New
Public Sector Management, PSM Vision; Centre for Learning in Evaluation and
Results, CLEAR Vision; Investment Climate Reform, ICR Vision; ISPE / EAG:
Communication for Behavioural Impact / Changing Attitude and Behaviour at
Scale, COMBI / CABS Vision; Value Chain Management, VCD Vision; UN FAO:
Management Assessment Centre, MAC Vision etc – within One Overall Vision: New
End Hunger and Poverty, NEHAP whose Design and delivery has One Worldwide
Approach: Policy, Program, Project Cycle Management, 3PCM Driven by One Global
Platform with Master Multi Stakeholder Platform, MSP numerous MSPs, numerous
Communities of Practice, COPs etc for achieving World Sustainable Development Vision in each of the 193 Member States. The NEHAP
Platform is probably the most “All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious”
Platform using “One Worldwide Approach” and speaking 6 UN Official Languages,
available anywhere in our World today.
Good Thinking: Good Product
The work towards Achieving World Sustainable
Development Vision in each Community in each Local Government, in each of 193
Member States Demand Good Thinking to Deliver Good Product. Our Study finding
is that Four Types of Thinking will be involved. Spatial Thinking, Critical
Thinking, Systems Thinking and Reflective Thinking, none of which can stand alone
but need to complement each other by if each Type of Thinking is to help
achieve increasing convergence between Sub-national, National and International
Development Cooperation Vision Intention and Reality on Developed Countries,
Developing Countries, International Institutions and Partners sides.
Should Spatial Thinking or Organized Relationships
Thinking focus on Planning Side (Planning, Research and Statistics); Systems
Thinking or Problem Solving Thinking focus on Implementation Side; Reflective
Thinking or Value Judgement Thinking focus on Evaluation Side (Monitoring,
Evaluation and Assessment) and Critical Thinking or Organized Learning Thinking
focus on Results Side (Learning, Results and Progress) then Panellists,
Delegates, Participants (Physical or Virtual) in UN Security Council Open
Debate 17 November 2015, ECOSOC
President Retreat 21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and
CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015, Practicing
the Art and Science of the 4 Types of Thinking in their Day to Day work can
contribute much more to help concerned Stakeholders from Neighbourhood to
Global levels achieve the New World Sustainable Development Vision that is
AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 etc Visions Ambitions on successful basis
under WIN-WIN arrangement delivering Sustainable Benefits to ALL Village to
Global Stakeholders in each Community in each of 193 Member States.
As long as the 4 types of Thinking are not embraced
and practiced, it will be difficult to find answers to New Geodesign Management
/ New Risk Management / New Public Sector Management etc How questions without
which answers to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 etc How questions cannot
be found without which answers to UN Security Council Open Debate 17 November
2015, ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November
2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015, How questions cannot be found.
The point we are making is that without World Leaders
and Global Citizens getting support from those who demonstrate required levels
of Know How, it will be especially difficult to find and implement the correct
answers to Security, Peace, Development, Defence, Diplomacy, Data, Human
Rights, Trade, Aide, Corruption, Debts, Poverty, Hunger, Unemployment,
Underemployment, Unemployability, Governance, Political Leadership etc How
questions as well as effectively monitor and evaluate implementation of the correct
answers in ways that help achieve Sub-national, National and International
Development Cooperation Vision Goals and Targets on successful and sustainable
basis and in schedule time.
Cities and
Leaders – Filling the Gaps
It is pertinent to state
that US Cities exceeds its bio capacity 4 times; consuming more and more
diminishing resources. US Economy is unsustainable given its huge debt profile.
US Contemporary Cities may look greener but they have displaced energy sources;
food supplies; water sources and waste streams beyond US immediate sensate
requirements and these facts are underlined by several Case Studies.
Cities in UK, other
Developed Countries, Nigeria and other Developing Countries have their own
similar problems, the difference is in the degree. This underlines the need for
US President Obama, UK Prime Minister Cameron, Nigeria President Buhari, other
serving Presidents / Heads of Government; US Past President Clinton, US Past
President Bush, UK Past Prime Minister Blair, UK Past Prime Minister Brown,
Nigeria Past President Obasanjo, Niger Past President Jonathan, other Past
Presidents / Heads of Government in US, UK, Nigeria, Africa, Europe,
Commonwealth, G8, G20, G77, that is 193 UN Member States and remaining
Countries in our World today to help in Filling the Gaps and making the
Connections required to effectively and efficiently tackle Natural Hazards, Natural
Disasters, Unnatural Hazards and Unnatural Disasters Management problems on the
ground in our World today.
Can Sub-national, National and International
Development Cooperation Stakeholders on Developed Countries, Developing
Countries, International Institutions, University Community Sides in our World
today, be in Self Denial, Self Deception and Self Delusion and expect True
Development for Sustainable Solutions to Europe Crisis, Africa Crisis and World
Crisis? God Forbid.
AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21, UNSDS 2015 Outcome,
ECOSOC Retreat 2 2015 Outcome, UN Security Council Open Debate Outcome etc
Sustainable Solutions to real and Complex World Political, Economic, Social,
Terrorism, Corruption, Trade, Aid, Debts and related problems exist.
If we – World Leaders and Global Citizens fail to find
these sustainable solutions, fully implement them and effectively monitor and
evaluate this implementation from Village to Global levels, that is in each
Community, in each Local Government, in each of the 193 UN Member States and each
Non UN Member States in our World as is today, the fault is in us – Leaders and
Followers on both Developed and Developing Countries sides and not in our Stars
and of course, we all have to take responsibility and bear the consequences,
ultimately catastrophic, of the choices we make and fail to make. This is
Nature in ACTION.
The UN Security Council
Open Debate 17 November 2015, ECOSOC
President Retreat 21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and
CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 can individually and collectively help focus
Global Collective Action towards the sustainable solutions to all identified NHNDUHUD
root problems on the ground from village to global levels in each Community in
each Local Government in each of 193 UN Member States and Non UN Member States
in our World today.
Paradigm
Shifts
All who genuinely desire
to help Change Your / Our World need to JOINTLY with other Village to Global
Stakeholders focus sub-national, National and Global Collective ACTION on Policy
Coherence, Coordination, Collaboration and Cooperation for Sustainable
Development in deploying Computation to address Complexity. This underline need
to address points made on this and earlier Papers and in ways that promote and
protect:-
1. Shift
away from overly technical and insufficient political approaches and shift
towards approaches that tackle the inner politics of development in ways that
effectively bridge gap between thinking and working politically.
2. Shift
away from explaining why Development Change can’t happen and shift towards
understanding how positive Development Change can happen.
3. Shift
away from endless competition, constraints and conflicts among individuals,
organizations and governments seeking Sub-national / National / International Development Cooperation and shift towards
constructive engagement and professional dialogue promoting and protecting the
real stuff of Politics for Sustainable Development – deliberation over
distribution and values; striking mutually beneficial and proportional
rewarding deals; building, maintenance and transformation of networks,
coalitions, partnerships, institutions, governments and societies; operation of
power for Sustainable Development of Community from Neighborhood to Global
levels.
4. Shift
away from current approach where Sub-national, National and International
Development Cooperation Village to Global stakeholders do not understand each
others’ language and shift towards a New One Worldwide Approach where
Sub-national, National and International Development Cooperation Stakeholders
understand one another’s language.
5. Policy,
Program, Project Interventions, 3PIs’ and 3PIs’ Training as One in (1) – (4) Design
and Delivery should promote and protect Politics Shape Service and Service
Shape Politics Concept.
6. 3PIs’ and
3PIs Training as One in (5) should promote and protect Transparency,
Accountability and Citizens / Stakeholders Participation: Learning through
Positive Collaboration Concept.
To make
these paradigm shifts successful and sustainable, Developed Countries
Governments; Developing Countries Governments; International Institutions;
Traditional Institutions, Religious Institutions, Academic Community; Media Community and
Sub-national, National and International Development Cooperation Partners
need:-
1. Incentive
Structures established
2. Sanctions
Structures established
3. Changing
Attitude and Behavior at Scale Structures established
4. Administrative
Barriers to more flexible Joint Country Programming Frameworks removed
5. Staffing
Issues: Competencies Sets – Hard Competencies: Learning and Skills and Soft
Competencies: Character, Courage and Mindset addressed
6. Resources:
Influence, Science, Technology, Innovation, Art, Fund, Manpower, Spiritual,
Land and Water provided.
7. Appetite:
Interest – Political, Economic, Social, Cultural etc met
8. Maneuvers
amidst Constraints: identify where is the room for maneuver or how it can be
created to make support of Development Reform possible
If you
– World Leader, Decision Maker or Commissioning Manager; are not in Denial,
Deception or Delusion; if you are genuinely interested in Integrated:
Geodesign, Risk Management, Public Sector Management and related Disciplines
Approach that Optimizes Development Impact and Development Effectiveness as you
work with others and know that you can’t do it alone, as you work to help
Configure Your / Our World to help Change Your / Our World, please consider and
take positive ACTION on points made in this and earlier Papers as we – Village
to Global Stakeholders all work together to tackle NHNDUHUD and in ways that
help lift over 4 Billion Poor on both Developed and Developing Countries above
Hunger and Poverty.
Alignment and Harmonization

New Risk Management, NRM Vision, New Public Sector Management, New PSM Vision
and related Discipline Visions that could resonate positively with all
Sub-national, National and International Development Cooperation Stakeholders
on Developed Countries Governments; Developing Countries Governments;
International Institutions; University Communities; Media Communities and
Partners sides, from Village to Global levels, in each of 193 Member States and
Non UN Member States, that effectively and efficiently address all Natural
Hazards and Unnatural Hazards, Natural Disasters and Unnatural Disasters, NHNDUHUD
Management problems on the ground in our world as is and not as any
Stakeholder, no matter how powerful, wish it to be.

complex world political, economic, social, terrorism, corruption, trade, aid,
debts and related problems on the ground on Developed Countries Governments,
Developing Countries Governments, International Institutions, Academic
Community, Media Community and Partners sides in our World today as is and not
as any Stakeholder wish it to be.
The UN 70th General Assembly is saddled
with responsibility for moving forward implementation and evaluation of AAAA,
SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 and in ways that promote and protect UN Family
Organization, including WBG, IEG-WBG, IMF Entities including UN Security
Council, HLPF, ECOSOC and GA 6 (12) Committees. Past effort aimed at finding
answer to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 etc How questions including UNSDS
2015 and ECOSOC Retreat 2 did not answer How questions at all. Will the 70th UNGA fail in Call to Service
and let down over 4 Billion Poor that the UN should be serving?
These Initiatives in working HARDER only to keep
answering What and Why questions, ensure that flaws and failures in AAAA, SDG,
COP21 etc processes remain reoccurring decimals. It is therefore not surprising
that response to latest Global Consultation on answer to SDG How questions
(contributions close 15 November 2015) that would produce Synthesis Report that
the UN Secretary General will submit in December 2015 continue to repeat the
same error. There is no better time than now for 70th UNGA to ensure
that correct answer to AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 etc How questions
are found, fully implemented with effective monitoring and evaluation of this
implementation.
Should the Organizers fail to restructure UN
Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015,
ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16
November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015 to correct this error, the
probability is low that AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 Vision ambitions
will be achieved by Global Goals 2030 Target date. Should this occur in
reality, the ultimate consequences for stakeholders in our fragile planet
particularly the over 4 Billion Poor on both Developed and Developing Countries
sides could be catastrophic.
Working
Together To Benefit Together
To help ensure World Leaders
deliver on promise to achieve SDGs’ by 2030, we suggest UN Security Council, UNGA, GA 6 (12)
Committees, HLPF and ECOSOC persuade and if necessary Pressure relevant UN and
Non UN authorities to jointly focus on correct answer to AAAA, SDG, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21 etc How questions, through taking the following specific
action steps:-
1. Endorse the
Papers, Policy Briefings and Articles and request UNDESA or UNNGLS to circulate
the endorsed Papers, Policy Briefings and articles to all World Leaders, 193 Member
States and other AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 etc Stakeholders.
2. Underline need
for Integrated Sustainable Solutions – Political Solutions, Cultural Solutions,
Economic Solutions, Financial Solutions, Social Solutions, Environment
Solutions, Peace Solutions, Security Solutions, Religious Solutions and Moral
Solutions; to Design and Delivery of each Action Agenda Item in AAAA, SDG,
COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21 etc applicable to specific Village to Global
location context in each of the 193 Member States and Non UN Member States.
3. Urge all
World Leaders, 193 member States and other AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document,
Agenda 21 etc Village to Global Stakeholders to recognize that Political
Solutions is Master Key to unlocking remaining 9 Integrated Sustainable
Solutions.
4. Endorse
each Entity pass resolution calling on each of the 193 Member States to adopt
recommendations in the Papers, Policy Briefings and Articles and go further to
establish immediately National Integrated Economic Reform Program, NIEReP for
the implementation and evaluation of domesticated AAAA, SDG and COP21 Outcome
Document, Agenda 21 etc Vision and Words with Action, aligned with National
Development Plan through National Reform Bureau working with Reform
Implementation Unit in each Ministry, Department and Agency in each of the 193
Member States, whose activities are coordinated by Steering Committee on Reform
and National Council on Reform within complimentary Sub-national, National,
Sub-regional, Regional and Global Master Multi Stakeholder Partnership
Platforms.
If SDG, AAAA, COP21 Outcome
Document etc Vision Ambitions are to be achieved and on schedule date, Village
to Global Stakeholders need to Work Together to Benefit Together.
FUNDING
The international community may have
reached a point where it is necessary to acknowledge the elements and
approaches that failed in previous development exercises. Likewise it needs to
recognize the approaches that succeeded and are sustainable. Little Singapore at
one end of the spectrum and large China at the other end offer examples of
success. But what succeeded in one place may not necessarily work elsewhere.
While it is expected that developing
countries themselves will raise some of the necessary funding, including
through the building of strong institutions, better taxation, reduction of
corruption and stemming the illicit outflow of funds, these measures will not
necessarily produce significant results in the short term
The enormous cost of meeting the SDG 17
goals – a key part of achieving UN Security Council International Peace and
Security Mandate, has not begun to be fully absorbed yet. Even if the world
will eventually pat itself on the back for achieving some of the goals by 2030,
the cost of reaching them is simply mind boggling.
Rough calculations made by the
intergovernmental committee of experts on sustainable development financing
have put the cost of providing a social safety net to eradicate extreme poverty
at 66 billion dollars a year, while annual investments to improve
infrastructure (water, agriculture, transport, power) could be up to 7.0 trillion
dollars globally.
How will the UN convince rich nations and
the world’s multinational corporations to help raise the necessary trillions to
reach those global goals, including the eradication of poverty and hunger by
2030? Why are Powerful Countries seeking to avoid or evade the questions- Who
Pays for What? And Who Does What and at What Time? Can How questions be
answered without addressing these relevant What questions that have been
avoided or evaded up till now?
According to the UN, there is at least
one “hidden source” for development funding, primarily for the world’s most
impoverished continent: capturing the illicit financial outflows from Africa,
estimated at over 50 billion dollars annually.
James Zhan, Director of Investment and Enterprise
at the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), told delegates that
tackling illicit financial flows was essential for Africa to achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals.
The estimated resources leaving Africa
in the form of illicit financial transfers, he pointed out, was nearly 530
billion dollars between 2002 and 2012.
“That was a huge cost for the
continent’s development as those resources could have been invested into
Africa’s economic development and structural transformation.”
He said illicit financial flows
undermined institutions, drained the state of much needed economic resources,
reduced the development resource base and led to higher domestic tax burdens to
fill the resource gap.
The 17 SDGs also include quality
education, improved health care, gender equality, sustainable energy,
protection of the environment and global partnership for sustainable
development.
According to Bhumika Muchhala, Senior
Policy Researcher, Finance and Development Programme, at the Third World
Network (TWN), there are the three key causes of illicit financial outflows -
commercial tax evasion, criminal activity and government corruption.
She said tax evasion and avoidance, as
well as transfer mispricing (trade mis-invoicing) practices of multinational
corporations (particularly in the extractives sector), constitute the leading
problem, along with money laundering practices and criminal activity such as
trafficking in drugs and labour.
As many social movements,
non-governmental organisations (NGOs), academics and policymakers point out,
this does not happen by accident, she said.
Many Developed Countries, including UK,
US, France, Germany and Russia and their institutions actively facilitate, and
reap enormous profits from, the theft of massive amounts of money from
developing countries, particularly African Countries including Nigeria.
“This undoes decades of economic
development and sabotages the chances of future generations to grow beyond the
need for economic aid,” she added.
Following an investigation last year, a
High-Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa had concluded that
combating such flows was no longer a choice; it had become an imperative.
The Panel, established by the Economic
Commission for Africa (ECA), called upon the African Union (AU) to engage with
its partner institutions to elaborate on a global governance framework to
determine the “conditions under which assets are frozen, managed and
repatriated.”
Ambassador Oh Joon of South Korea,
President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), told delegates at a UN
panel discussion last month that Africa, like other regions, would have to
mobilize resources from within the continent.
And the illicit outflows of finance
represented an important loss of foreign exchange reserves, an erosion of legal
tax base and bygone investment opportunities from natural resource rents, he
added.
With an estimated 50 billion dollars per
year in illicit financial flows, the effectiveness of domestic resource
mobilization would be significantly curtailed if such illicit flows continued,
he argued.
Addressing the high level segment of the
General Assembly in September, the President of Senegal, Macky Sall, said
illicit financial flows from Africa virtually exceeded official development
assistance (ODA) to the continent (which amounts about 50 to 55 billion dollars
annually).
“If 17 per cent of those assets were
recovered, African countries could pay off their entire debts and finance their
own development.” UNCTAD’s Zhan said Africa was the only region where illicit
financial flows reached about 5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). He urged
transparency and accountability through the strengthening of civil society and
called for the promotion of institutional reforms and the creation of
anti-corruption commissions. He said African governments had a big
responsibility to tackle the problem but so did the international community.
But African countries could not do it
alone. Multinational companies and foreign direct investment (FDI) were also an
important part of the solution. United Nations agencies such as UNCTAD could
offer advice to African governments to design investment policies and handle
tax avoidance and illicit practices by multinationals, Zhan said.
Muchhala said while many organisations
highlight the urgent need for reforms in information-sharing and transparency
policies in the European Union and the United States, the Tax Justice Network,
a key social movement comprised of various NGOs, has been stressing the need to
counter tax evasion and tax avoidance.
To this extent, an advocacy campaign to
establish a UN global tax body, with the universal membership of the UN, was
carried out during the 2014-2015 negotiations for the third Financing for
Development (FfD) conference. The conference, held in Addis Ababa in July 2015,
failed to garner consensus for a global tax body due to the resistance of
developed countries.
While this is a major disappointment,
she said, the push for a global tax body by both developing countries and
global social movements, will persist both inside and outside the UN. It is in
Common Interest, Common Future and Common Humanity for US, UK and other Developed
Countries to effectively support Nigeria, African and other Developed Countries
to remove this huge disappointment. It is our hope that the outcome of UN Security Council Open Debate 17 November 2015, ECOSOC President Retreat 21 – 22 November
2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 – 27 November 2015
will make significant progress in this regard.
Yes Billions of Dollars have been
contributed / pledged thus far. But this is less than US$ 100 Billion and what
is required is over US$7 Trillion per year for 15 years. Filling this Funding
Gap is a Major Challenge that requires Innovation and Creativity for Design and
delivery of required Political and Cultural, Economic and Financial; Social and
Environmental; Peace and Security, Religious and Moral Solutions in each
Community, in each Local Government in each of 193 Member States and non Member
States in our World as is today.
It is pertinent to note that the UN itself
is underfunded. With Budget of US$70 Billion that is about half New York State
Budget, clearly much more needs to be done to better fund the UN if it is to be
fit for the 21st Century.
New World Governance Indicators
A situation where Corrupt Leaders in
Nigeria and other Developing Countries are Demonized while their Comrades in
Crime in Developed Countries go free – (less those whose case come to the
Public Arena who are then made scape goats to give the impression that Corruption
is not tolerated in Developed Countries) must stop.
It must be recognized that while Nigeria
and other Developing Countries are top on the Bribe Takers Index, it is UK, US,
France, Germany, Russia and other Developed Countries that are top on the Bribe
Givers Index. It must also the recognized that current World Governance Index
including the Top Ones prepared by WBG and Transparency International are
themselves Corrupt. New World Governance Index that is Scientific and Objectively
Validated; that address all 17 Commonly Occurring Forms of Corruption in the
same Index for all 193 Member States is required to support work towards
achieving the SDG in all 193 Member States.
MOVING FORWARD
Do NGO Major Group Leaders, World Leaders, UNDESA,
EOSG, UNGA, GA 6 (120 Committees, UN Security Council, 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, 2005 World
Summit Outcome etc How questions lie in the DOING? And that without
immediately:-
1.
Appointing
Reform Adviser and Global Coordinating Consultant on AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome
Document, 2005 World Summit Outcome, 1995 FAO Conference on Hunger and Poverty
Action Plan etc Policy Coherence, Coordination, Collaboration and Cooperation
for Sustainable Development, P4CSD to UNGA, UN Security Council, GA Committees,
ECOSOC and HLPF and Partners
2.
Selecting
One Worldwide Approach
3.
Establishing
Mater Multi Stakeholder Platform, MSP and MSPs for each Action Agenda item
Village to Global, VtG
4.
Establishing
Multidisciplinary Professionals Community of Practice on Poverty Elimination
and Environmental Sustainability as VtG Platform for all relevant existing and
new Disciplines
5.
Addressing
issues of Trust, Silos, Honesty, Thinking, Solidarity, Attitude, Behavior,
Communication etc VtG
6.
Connecting
each Community in each Local Government in each of the 193 Member States to UN
Headquarters New York
7.
Establishing
VtG Mechanism for Correct Diagnosis, Prescription, Surgery and Recovery
Management
8.
Establishing
VtG Policy, Program, Project Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One
9.
Establishing
VtG Mechanism for Ownership, Harmony, Alignment, Accountability, Transparency,
Transformation, Leadership, Learning, Results and Participation (Citizens and
Stakeholders), OH2A2T2LRP
10. Establishing VtG Mechanism for Policy
Coherence, Coordination, Collaboration and Cooperation for Sustainable
Development, P4CSD
11. Establishing VtG Mechanism for Master
Collaborative Research Support Program, CRSP for each Action Agenda Item
It will be uphill task achieving increasing
convergence between AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document, Agenda 21, 2005 World
Summit Outcome, 1995 FAO Conference on Hunger and Poverty Action Plan 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. To
avoid this, Village to Global Stakeholders in each of 193 Member States and Non
UN Member States need to consider facing new direction and adopting new
priorities and without delay.
The answer to AAAA, SDG, Agenda 21, COP21 Outcome
Document, 2005 World Summit Outcome, 1995 FAO Conference on Hunger and Poverty
Action Plan, Synthesis Report, Data Revolution Report etc How questions is in
the Doing with focus on Action and Accomplishment and not in the Saying with
focus on Talking and Thinking.
Re-structuring UN Security Council Open
Debate
The UN Security Council Open Debate is structured to
have Four Briefers including the UN Secretary General, World Bank Representative,
Chair Peacebuilding Commission and a Noble Peace Prize Laurate. Each of the
Four briefers will speak for 10 minutes. Council Members will speak for 5
minutes and Non Council Members for 4 minutes.
The probability is high that this will produce
Business as Usual with Briefers and Contributors focusing on What and Why
questions instead of How questions the Debate has been organized to address. To
avoid this, we suggest:
1.
The
Panel is expanded to 6 – UN Secretary General, WBG President, IMF Managing
Director, Chair Peacebuilding Commission, Nobel Peace Prize Laurate and Noble
Economics Prize Laurate.
2.
The event
be restructured to be an Interactive Meeting with focus on Questions, Answers,
Comments and Suggestions addressing all fundamental issues raised in this
Paper.
3.
The event
allow for Virtual Participation through WBG Live Chat Platform and Google
Hangout Platform
4.
All UN,
DFID and USAID Country Offices are instructed to mobilize Local Participation
in the event.
5.
The Panellists
will answer all questions put to them. Participants can ask follow up questions
or make comments and suggestions that help enrich or clarify answers provided
by Panellists. Participants can articulate their own thoughts on solutions to
any of the How questions through comments and suggestions.
6.
As much
as Possible the Council Members will be listeners, taking notes. Where necessary
specific question(s) may be asked that help enrich or clarify answers, comments
or suggestions. No Council Member is expected to make comments or suggestions. All
such contributions from Council Members will be processed into the Interactive
Meeting Outcome Document.
Please find link to 2 WBG Live Chat Events we
participated in 2014.
Had WBG authorities taken positive action on the Live
Chat Outcome Document, if any was prepared, the WBG contribution to AAAA, SDG,
COP21, Agenda 21 in the past year could have been much more significant.
Many of the points made by Lanre in the Mind Society
Behaviour Live Chat were not posted and many that were posted during the Live
Chat have not been posted in the archive Chat. This ought not to be so.
Conclusion
The UK is the only Country in the World
that is Member EU, G8, G20, Commonwealth and UN. The UK Presidency of the UN
Security Council offers unique opportunity for the UK to deploy this Strength
in the Common Interest and Common Future of UK, EU, G8, G20, Commonwealth and
UN.
The Concept Note for the 17 November 2015,
UN Security Council Open Debate is very rich. We have in this Paper enriched it
even more. Points made in the Paper are reinforced by Points made in the Series
on Achieving AAAA, SDG and COP21 Outcome Document Vision
and Words with Action Agenda by 2030 in 193 Member States, currently at Part 7
and earlier Papers by International Society for Poverty Elimination / Economic
Alliance Group. ISPE / EAG.
There is urgent need to Reform the UN Family
Organization to be fit for the 21st Century and to consistently
Deliver as One. Sustainable Solutions to Europe Crisis, Africa Crisis and World
Crisis can and should be a Key Outcome of UN Security Council Open Debate 17
November 2015, ECOSOC President Retreat
21 – 22 November 2015, G20 Turkey 15 – 16 November 2015 and CHOGOM Malta 27 –
27 November 2015. But this cannot happen on its own. It can only happen if
those with the Know How are given a Place to Stand that help them to
effectively support the UN Security Council, UNGA, GA Committees, HLPF, ECOSOC,
WBG, IMF, G8, G20, Commonwealth, G77+ China and Partners from Village to Global
Levels in 193 Member States and Non UN Member States in our World today.
It is our hope that Bright Prospects of Success will
not be squandered. We are willing to offer a more detailed information
/ clarification as required by NGO Major Group, UN Security Council, ECOSOC,
HLPF, UNGA, GA Committees and or other relevant UN Authority as well as any of
the 193 Member States.
