Focused Points for
ING Meeting Organizers and Participants Consideration and Appropriate ACTION –
Part 2
Summary
We at NEHAP / ISPE / EAG
commend all on UN Member States, UN System including WBG and IMF and MGoS sides
working towards Design and Delivery of Global Goals – AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome
and Agenda 21; Aligned and Harmonized with National Development Plans, NDPs
that can achieve Vision Ambitions by 2030. Giant Strides have been made but
much more remains to be done. The starting point is recognition by Governments,
Stakeholders and UN Family Organization that What questions have been over-answered
and that How questions need to be more Professionally tackled and in ways that
bring Whole of World Thinking to Bear towards the Sustainable Solutions to
Whole of World problems. To achieve this IGN Meetings need to better address
the following Focused Points set out in this 2 Part Supporting Papers Series. In
Part 2:-
1. Capacity 2030
Design and Delivery of Revolution 2030 and Solidarity 2030 that will be
successful on sustainable basis greatly depends of finding correct answers to
How questions, fully implement these answers and effectively monitor and
evaluate this implementation greatly depends on Design and Delivery of Capacity
2030 to address Individual Capacity issues of Demand and Supply of Hard Competences:
Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage and Mindset;
Institution Capacity Issues and Society Capacity Issues from Village to Global
levels.
2. Solidarity 2030
Design and Delivery of Revolution 2030, Solidarity 2030 and Capacity
2030 that will be successful on sustainable basis greatly depends on Design and
Delivery of Solidarity 2030; Village to Global Solidarity Mechanism that help
bridge Gap between Political Leadership we need and Political Leadership we
have from Village to Global levels.
Introduction
This Part 2 complements points made in
Part 1 in this IGN Meetings Supporting Papers Series. If practical answers are
to be found to How questions and in ways that help achieve all Goals and
Targets in revised AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21, ECOSOC Retreat Outcome,
HLPF Retreat Outcome etc aligned and harmonized with National Development
Plans, NDPs’ in each UN Member State, Policy Makers and Decision Makers on UN
Member States, UN System and MGoS sides need to take ownership of ideas and
suggestions harvested from Global Consultations and RUN with them in the Common
Interest and Common Future of all Humanity, particularly the over 2 Billion
Poor in both Developed and Developed Countries that they are serving.
GSDP Report
2016 – Institutionalizing One Worldwide Approach
We observe that in ongoing preparation of
GSDP Report 2016, there is only One How question in Chapter 1 and No How
question in remaining Chapters 2 - 5. that all remaining questions in Chapters
1 - 5 are What questions with the exception of a single Which question in
Chapter 5.
Our observation is that more than enough
has been said on What questions, that NEHAP / ISPE / EAG is the ONLY
Institution in our World today not only setting out clear answers to How
questions but also has the most Advanced One Worldwide Approach that meet
minimum standard to DELIVER on the One Worldwide Approach Recommendation of SG
Synthesis Report released 4 December 2014 and that for as long as clear, sound
and practical answers are not found to How questions the GSDR Report 2016 will
like its predecessors contribute little of nothing towards to sustainable
solutions to real and complex National and International Development
Cooperation problems on the ground in each of the 193 UN Member States.
GSDP Report 2016 could make more
significant contribution towards supporting UN Member States, UN System and
MGoS Policy Makers, Decision Makers and their Village to Global Partners to
achieve increasing convergence between Global Goals Vision Intention and
Reality in each Community in each UN Member State, if the Report help
Institutionalize One Worldwide Approach Recommendation of SG Synthesis Report
2014.
HLPF Retreat
23 – 24 February 2016 Consultation
We urge the Organizers and Participants in the 23
– 24 February Retreat preparatory to the UN April Retreat and all other IGN
Meetings Organizers and Participants, Organizing and Participating in IGN
Meetings between now and the UN April Retreat to please recognize that there
can be No Development without Peace; No Peace without Justice and No Justice
without Corruption Free Society.
In view of the above, we urge the six GA Committees,
UNGA, UN Security Council, UNCEB, OPGA, EOSG, ECOSOC, HLPF, UNDESA, FfD Office,
UNESCO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNEP, UNFPA, FAO, WHO to rework their respective Agenda
to ensure each UN Entity record better deliver on the How within its Vision,
Mission and Mandate. This will certainly encourage UN Member States and MGoS
Entities to do the same.

Lobby by Felxi Dodds and Michael Struss
Selected Quotes
Quote 1
"Business as usual, government as usual, and perhaps even protest
as usual are not giving us the progress needed to achieve sustainable
development. Lets see if we can't work together to find better paths
forward."
Paul
Hohnen
Former Strategic Director for Greenpeace
Comment
It will be recalled that this is Business Unusual Approach that is
Integral Part of One Worldwide Approach is Major Recommendation of SG Synthesis
Report December 2014. Had this and remaining Recommendations in this important
SG Report been fully implemented in 2015, would AAAA July 2015, SDG September
2015 and COP21 Outcome Document December 2015 not have been Vision and Words
with ACTION?
Quote 2
"Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just
passes the time. Vision with action can change the world!"
Joel Arthur Barker
President of Infinity Limited
Comment
There
should be no more delay converting AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21 that is
Vision and Words without Action into revised AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda
21 etc aligned and harmonized with NDPs that is Vision and Words with Action.
Hard Law and Soft Law
..... perhaps
it would be useful to understand that the difference in general is between soft
law (e.g. Declarations and Plans of Action) and hard law (e.g.
Conventions). Hard law means that a government can potentially be held
accountable for the [in]action while soft law is aspirational.
Comment
The
current free wheel approach to Global Goals is unhelpful. There should be clear
distinction between Hard Laws and Soft Laws and there should be clear mechanism
for promulgation and enforcement of these Laws and in ways that effectively
cover all Action Agenda Items in revised AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document,
Agenda 21 etc aligned and harmonized to NDPs in each of the 193 (over 300) UN
Member States.

Clear
Statements
1.
NEHAP/ ISPE
/ EAG have no power or intention to force any individual, institution or
government to accept its international development cooperation solutions.
2.
No one
individual, institution or government anywhere in our world today has all the
answers to all of UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat Outcome, HLPF Retreat
Outcome, AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21, etc How questions
3.
Correct
answer to UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21, HLPF Retreat Outcome, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc How
questions cannot be found in Desk Work - conferences, consultations and
research driven by talking and thinking.
4.
Correct
answer to UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc How questions can only be found in
Desk Work - conferences, consultations and research and Field Work – theory,
practice and partnership driven by action and accomplishment that is inclusive
and effectively connect each community in each of 193 Member States to UN
Headquarters New York.
5.
Current
AAAA, SDG, COP21 processes each has flaws and failures arising from technical
errors and mistaken priorities from village to global levels that need to be
immediately corrected.
6.
Current
Attitude and Behaviour of most Village to Global Stakeholders on both State
Actors and Non State Actors fall below minimum certain levels required to find
correct answer to UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG,
COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc How questions, full
implement these answers with effective monitoring and evaluation of this
implementation in ways that achieve Global Goals by 2030 target date.
7.
Current
effort at answering UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG,
COP21 Outcome, Agenda 21, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc How questions is at least
one year behind. Renewed effort is required if lost ground is to be covered and
if each community in each of 193 Member States is to accelerate on path to
achieving Global Goals by 2030 Target date.
8.
Each
day Decision Makers in each UN Family Organization Entity, 193 Member States
and concerned Non State Actors sides delay or deny adopting or adapting existing
sound answers to UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG, COP21
Outcome, Agenda 21, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc How questions is one day too long.
Allowed to continue, the ultimate consequences for our fragile planet could be
catastrophic.
Acid Test of Credibility
The implication of holding UNSDS 2015 after adoption of
SDG on 25 September 2015, is that what World Leaders have adopted is SDG that
is Vision and Words without Action and what UNSDS 2015 seek to achieve is ways
and means of converting current AAAA and SDG into new AAAA and SDG that is
Vision and Words with Action.
The outcome of UNSDS 2015, is that in failing to answer
SDG How questions, the SDG remain Vision and Words without Action. If the
conversion of the SDG to Vision and Words with Action is not achieved without
delay, it will be an uphill task for World Leaders to deliver on their promise
to achieve SDG by 2030. Failure to deliver on this promise, the ultimate
consequences for stakeholders in our fragile Planet could be catastrophic.
The acid test of credibility of SDG, AAAA, Agenda 21,
COP21 etc is how each delivers:-
1.
Better Domestic and International Trade in each of 193 Member
States.
2.
Better Financing – Equity, Loan and Grant for all particularly
the Poor
3.
Better War on Corruption and Terrorism and
4.
Better Environmental Sustainability.
New Thinking, New Ideas, New Ways
of Doing Things etc
The only way World Leaders can deliver on their promise
during the adoption of SDG is to improve Cohesion, Coordination, Collaboration,
Cooperation, Solidarity and Accountability in the design and delivery of mutual
support mechanism that help each of the 193 Member States to pass this acid
test of credibility of the SDGs.
To achieve this, the 193 (over 300) Member States
jointly and severally must demonstrate and be seen to demonstrate:-
1.
Willingness to accept new ideas, new thinking, new ways of doing
things
2.
Willingness to establish new coordination, new collaboration,
new cooperation, new solidarity, new accountability and new partnership
3.
Readiness to accept past flaws, past failures, past drawbacks,
past shortcomings and past hindrances
4.
Readiness to build bridge between lessons learning and lessons
forgetting, create learning organization and create learning society
5.
Readiness to create Demand for Planning – Research, Planning,
Data as basis for creating Supply for Planning – Research, Planning, Data
6.
Readiness to create Demand for Implementation as basis for
creating supply for Implementation
7.
Readiness to create Demand for Evaluation – Monitoring,
Evaluation, Assessment as basis for creating Supply for Evaluation –
Monitoring, Evaluation, Assessment
8.
Readiness to create Demand for Accountability – Transparency,
Accountability, Citizen / Stakeholder Participation as basis for creating
Supply for Accountability – Transparency, Accountability, Citizen / Stakeholder
Participation
9.
Readiness to create Demand for Learning – Learning and Result as
basis for creating Supply for Learning – Learning and Result
10. Readiness to accept One Nationwide
/ Region wide / Worldwide 3PCM – Policy, Program, Project Cycle Management
Approach and Methodology to Sustainable Benefits focused National and
International Development Cooperation Policy, Program, Project Intervention,
3PI and 3PI Training as One in each Action Agenda Item in each of the 17 SDGs
applicable to specific context – Village to Global in each of the 193 (over
300) Member States
Revised AAAA and SDG etc Village to
Global Capacity Building
The above fundamental issues of Willingness and
Readiness need to be complemented by fundamental issues of Ability – Capacity
Building; Ability – Resources and Invitation – Mandate within National and
Global Platform. Resources include:
Influence, Science, Technology, Innovation, Fund, Manpower, Spiritual, Land and
Water. There are
more than enough Resources to achieve all 17 SDGs in each of the 193 Member
States if World Leaders can get Capacity Building Right in each of the 193
Member States.
Capacity Building should be on three levels:-
1.
Individual – Hard Competences: Learning and
Skills and Soft Competences: Character, Courage and Mindset
2.
Institution / Government – Processes, Procedures, Systems,
Operations that empower Individuals to operationalize in practice Competences
they acquire through formal and informal education and training to help achieve
increasing convergence between Institution / Government Vision, Mission and
Mandate Intention and Reality.
3.
Society – Political and Cultural; Economic and Financial;
Social and Environmental; Peace and Security; Religious and Moral Space that
empower Individuals and Institutions to Thrive in the work towards achieving
Institution / Government Vision, Mission, Mandate Intention and Reality with or
without chaos.
Working Together To Benefit Together
To help ensure World Leaders deliver on promise to
achieve SDGs’ by 2030, we suggest relevant UN and Non UN authorities undertake
critical review of this and earlier Papers, Policy Briefings and Articles.
Should its assessment confirm that indeed the Papers, Policy Briefings and
articles have many good ideas and pertinent suggestions, which adopted by UNGA,
HLPF, ECOSOC, UN Security Council, 193 Member States Governments and Partners –
Village to Global can help achieve increasing convergence between AAAA and SDG
Vision and Words with Action Intention and Reality in each Community in each
Local Government in each of 193 Member States, we suggest these UN and Non UN
authorities consider 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 (over 300) Member States and other AAAA and SDG
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, HLPF Retreat Outcome etc
applicable to specific Village to Global location context.
3.
Urge all World Leaders, 193 (over 300) member States and other
AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome Document etc Stakeholders to recognize that Political
Solutions is Master Key to unlocking remaining 9 Integrated Sustainable
Solutions.
4.
Urge UNGA, HLPF, ECOSOC, UN Security Council to each pass resolution calling on each of the
193 (over 300) 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 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 (over 300) 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,
HLPF Retreat Outcome Document etc Vision Ambitions are to be achieved and on
schedule date, Village to Global Stakeholders need to Work Together to Benefit
Together.
MOVING FORWARD
Do World Leaders, UNDESA, EOSG, UNGA, ECOSOC, HLPF and
Partners recognize that correct answer to all AAAA, SDG, COP21 Outcome
Document, ECOSOC Retreat Outcome, HLPF Retreat 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, HLPF Retreat Outcome Document etc Policy Coherence, Coordination,
Collaboration and Cooperation for Sustainable Development, P4CSD to UNGA,
ECOSOC, UN Security Council and HLPF and Partners
2.
Selecting
One Worldwide Approach
3.

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 UNSDS 2015 Outcome, ECOSOC Retreat 2 Outcome, AAAA, SDG,
COP21 Outcome Document, HLPF Retreat 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.

Services worth over UK Pounds 10 Million (N6 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

Configure our World.
Conclusion
In this Paper and 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.
Our World has enough Resources to meet the
needs of its over 7 Billion People. Our World does not have enough Resources to
meet the GREED of over 7 Billion People. However, these Resources remain unlocked
potential if there is no new thinking, new ideas and new ways of doing things
and if Policy Makers and Decision Makers on UN Member States, UN Family
Organization and MGoS sides do not individually and collectively accept Village
to Global Solidarity is essentially for finding sustainable solutions to real
and complex World problems on the ground from Village to Global levels.
We strongly urge concerned authorities in
the UN System, 193 (over 300) Member States, UN System including WBG and IMF and
MGoS sides to individually and jointly recognize that without facing new
direction and adopting new priorities; without adopting Business Unusual doing
new things in new ways, the expected new Results will remain Mirage.
We urge World Leaders, UN Family
Organization Executives and MGoS Executives to consider stopping ongoing
searching for Sustainable Solutions exist.
