Sustainable Solutions to 193/306 UN Member States SDG Pledge Delivery by 2030: HPLF July 2018 Outcome - Matters Arising?

EAG Thoughts on Priorities and Direction in the Implementation and Evaluation of Food, Nutrition, Agriculture and Security Vision Dimension Linked to Public Sector Management, Public Finance Management, Procurement and Governance Dimension of  Transformation Agenda – AAAA, SDG, COP21 and Agenda 21 for Delivery on SDG Pledge - No Goal will be considered met if it is not met by all Peoples in all  Countries by 2030 Target date.

Introduction

In today’s Global Village what happens in the Poorest Countries affect what happens in the Richest Countries and vice versa. Our view is that it is in recognition of this reality that World Leaders endorsed in 2015 the Triple Global Agendas – AAAA, SDG and COP21. The Triple Agendas plus Agenda 21 make up the 2030 Transformation Agenda, with the SDG as the overarching 2030 Transformation Agenda.

The Pledge in the SDG that no Goal will be considered met if it is not achieved by all Peoples in all Countries by end 2030 Target date suggest World Leaders appreciate that all National and Global Stakeholders need to meaningfully Work Together to Benefit Together, if all the 17 Goals of the SDG are to be achieved by all Peoples in all Countries by end 2030 Target date. Time is running out to deliver on this Pledge as all Countries are Off Track as at 3^rd Quarter 2018 Year 3 of Implementation and there is just 12 ½ years to go to end 2030 Target date.

As long as National Leaders and World Leaders do not know why the unfinished business of MDGs is yet to be completed as at 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation of SDGs, they will not know HOW to Reform National and International Development Cooperation Systems in ways that strengthen all 193/306 UN Member States to get back On Track and achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge.

It is a puzzle that DCF May 2018 ignored our suggestions for finding answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions as Master Key for getting all 193/306 UN Member States back on Track towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

It is more puzzling that HPLF July 2018 being aware of DCF 2018 error, also ignored our suggestions to the same effect, yet HPLF 2018 Outcome highlight many real and complex problems on the ground that could only be solved when or if National Leaders and World Leaders in all 193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) and their Partners get real and get serious about “Working Together to Benefit Together” and in ways that ensure all 193/306 UN Member States speedily get back on Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 and maintain Global and National Collective Action for World and National Sustainable Development until SDGs Pledge is actually delivered in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date. We wait to see HOW this could be achieved without finding answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions.

This Paper builds on points made in earlier Papers to articulate more details of interrelated, interdependent, interconnected and interlinked relationship between the answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions and achieving increasing convergence between SDGs/SDGs Pledge Vision Intention and Reality in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date and urge the National Leaders and World Leaders in all 193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) and their Partners to recognize and appreciate need to Work Together to Benefit Together Concept of the SDGs as well as its Leave No One Behind Concept are demonstrated and been seen to be demonstrated in practice through aligning and harmonizing the work towards answering the these How questions with realities on the ground in each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global location context.

Brexit: Ending Denial, Deception and Delusion; Ending Fantasy and Facing Facts and Reality in Ireland, UK, EU and rest of the World

It is a puzzle that National and International Stakeholders in the ongoing Brexit process are looking on while UK Government and Politicians negotiate with themselves rather than the EU/EC and EU/EC maintain rigid stance to uphold its Principles.  Please find attached herewith link to Paper giving Global Overview of Policy, Program, Project Interventions in Ireland Sustainability Strategy and SDG in Ireland including Alternative Brexit that is interrelated, interlinked, interconnected and interdependent with UK Sustainability Strategy and SDG in UK; Sustainability Strategy in each of the remaining 26 EU Countries at National level and EU/EC Sustainability Strategy and SDG in EU/EC at Sub-regional level and Sustainability Strategy in all remaining Countries in Europe and World and SDG Europe and World at Regional and Global levels. It is a big puzzle that points made in the Paper intended to help HPLF 2018 answer SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions were ignored, resulting in HPLF 2018 Outcome again focusing on problems rather than Sustainable Solutions to World problems.

http://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2018/06/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and_28.html

It is pertinent to note that it is not only UK that need Wilberforce Army MPs but Ireland, all remaining North Countries and all South Countries. The approach of Republic of Ireland; UK and remaining 26 EU Countries Tertiary Institutions to Brexit is appalling. They are part of the problem.

Government – Executive and Legislature in all 28 EU Countries (UK not yet totally out) should Pressure Top 10 Universities in all 28 EU Countries to sit up and help Change Brexit as Force for Evil to Brexit as Force for Good. The future of Ireland, UK and remaining 26 EU Countries greatly depends of this Change.

There is urgent need to ensure that Top 10, Top 100 and Top 1,000 Universities in the World also STOP being part of the Problem and START being part of Sustainable Solutions to real and complex SDGs/SDGs Pledge problems on the ground in each specific Community, Country, Continent location context, if all 193/306 UN member States are to be strengthened to achieve delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge in just 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.

http://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2017/09/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and.html

It is our hope that this time, the Governments and Politicians in all 28 EU Member States as well as in all 193/306 UN Member States will reason and get real and genuinely appreciate that:-

1.  The approach to Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty required to achieve Sustainability Strategy and SDG in all 28 EU Member States and all 193/306 UN Member States and in ways that deliver on SDG Pledge, should be firmly rooted in power relations, global dynamics and group analysis. It should seek to explain why people are poor and why inequalities exist, as well as what can be done to rectify these injustices. It should go further to identify HOW what can be done could be done and in ways that help achieve delivery on National and Global Goals in all Ireland, UK, rest of EU and rest of the World. It should explain why at 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation, these issues remain outstanding. As long as these issues remain outstanding, it will be especially difficult for Ireland, UK, rest of EU and rest of World to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 – with just 12 ½ years to go, more so as ongoing Brexit negotiations would only increase Irish woes, UK woes,, rest of EU woes and rest of Word woes. The time for remedial action is NOW.

2.     Models of true sustainable development in which issues of employment-centered growth and structural change, transformative social policy, and democratic politics that elevate the interests of the poor in policy making as appropriate to each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global,  CSnNSrRG location context need to be designed and delivered and in ways that ensure Ireland, UK, rest of EU and rest of World achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

3.  Ending Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty is essentially about consciously coordinating policies and institutions in the three domains of employment-centered growth strategies, pursuing comprehensive social policies and getting the politics right and in ways that deliver maximum impact in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context.

4.  Each of the 193/306 UN Member States Governments: Executive, Legislature and Judiciary at each tier, should focus on the way institutions and policies are linked across spheres and the synergies they create in tackling real and complex problems on the ground at each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context relevant to their Country achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date. Effectiveness of one institution or policy in a particular sphere may lead to, or require, complementary effective institutions or policies in other sphere(s).

5. The complex ways that hunger, malnutrition and poverty alleviation and ultimately elimination outcomes are shaped by the interconnection of ideas, institutions, policies and practices in a triad of economic development, social policy and politics – economic development, social development and political development as one, appropriate to each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context.

6.   Success will greatly depend on the power of the 2030 Transformation Agenda to inspire and mobilize essential actors, new partnerships, key constituencies and the broader global citizenry. For this, we will need an agenda that resonates with the experiences and needs of people and that can be understood and embraced by all relevant national and international stakeholders in each specific location context. The agenda and goals should also be received at the country level in a way that will ensure the completion of the unfinished business of the MDGs as well as transition from MDGs to the broader and more transformative SDGs, effectively becoming an integral part of national and regional visions and plans. This type of good practice typically requires working on a number of fronts at the same time or in a continuous sequence. This is presently not the case and underlines root cause or primary cause Brexit problems that regrettably are not being addressed in ongoing Brexit negotiations and these complex problems could only get worse with Soft Brexit or Crash Out outcome by 29 March 2019.

7.   The leaders on UK and EU sides need to be persuaded to agree to a 180-day delay on Brexit while investigations and negotiations can be carried out, a reprieve as well as major concession for both the UK and EU sides to avoid looming Brexit woes in Ireland, UK, rest of EU and rest of World. This demand intense diplomatic effort and massive political will. Ireland, Netherlands and other EU Member States has/have much to gain CHAMPIONING this type of effort and on time. Ireland, UK and EU need all the help they can get if WIN WIN Optimum Results is to be designed and delivered and on time. We have demonstrated we have capacity to help in this regard. The Big Question is will Governments in Ireland, Netherlands and other EU Member States give us the opportunity or keep looking on wishing Brexit woes will just go away or the UK will find the magic wand?

UNSG Synthesis Report 2014: Matters Arising?

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in his Synthesis Report on the Post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda, November 2014 (many of our Organizations ideas were included in the Report) identified 8 Principles on which the SDGs foundation should be built. We note with regret that SDGs foundation has been built with exclusion of these sound Principles. This explains why at 10 of 60 Quarters of Implementation, basic issues addressed by these Principles still constitute hindrances, shortcomings and drawbacks to all 193/306 UN Member States achieving delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date. The Principles are:-

• Commit to a universal approach, including solutions that address all countries and all groups;
• Integrate sustainability into all activities, mindful of economic, environmental and social impacts;
• Address inequalities in all areas, agreeing that no goal or target should be considered met unless it is met for all social and economic groups;
• Ensure that all actions respect and advance human rights, in full coherence with international standards;
• Address the drivers of climate change and its consequences;
• Base our analysis on credible data and evidence, enhancing data capacity, availability, disaggregation, literacy and sharing;
• Expand our global partnership for means of implementation to maximum effect and full participation, including multi-stakeholder, issue-based coalitions;
• Anchor the new compact in a renewed commitment to international solidarity, commensurate with the ability of each country to contribute. 

At EAG we have expanded the 8 Principles to 17 Principles for improved clarity and effectiveness to reinforce UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon’s statement that “The essential elements of the SDGs/ 2030 Transformation Agenda underscore the urgency of a universal call to commit to a set of principles that, applied together, can bring about a truly universal transformation of sustainable development. Thus, as we implement the 2030 Transformation agenda in all North and South countries, we must:

·   Commit to a universal approach, including sustainable solutions that meaningfully address all communities, countries, continents and all groups unique problems on ground in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context;

·   Integrate sustainability into all activities, mindful of political, cultural, economic, financial, environmental, social, religious, moral, peace, security impacts;

· Address political development, economic development, social development, conflict, inequalities, environmental stewardship, justice access, human dignity, national security unique problems on ground in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context;

· Address inequalities and injustice in all areas, agreeing that no goal or target should be considered met unless it is met for all social and economic groups in all communities in all countries;

· Ensure that all actions respect and advance universal human/development rights, in full coherence with international standards;

· Ensure policy coherence, collaboration, cooperation, coordination and commitment for national and international sustainable development;

·   Ensure that all creative with innovative sustainable solutions and thinkers demonstrating thinking through and thinking ahead are identified, promoted and promoted;

·   Address the drivers of climate change and its consequences;

· Base our analysis on credible data and evidence, enhancing data capacity, availability, disaggregation, literacy and sharing;

· Expand our national and global partnership for means of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation to maximum effect and full participation, including multi-stakeholder partnerships MSPs, issue-based coalitions;

·   Ensure MSPs have Authority Delegated by Leadership of all relevant Stakeholder Blocks to Serve with Responsibility as Convener, Catalyst, Collaborator and Cultivator at specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global levels;

·   Ensure all communities in al countries are effectively connected to UNO Headquarters New York, each UNO Agency/Entity Headquarters with responsibility for specific SDGs/SDGs Pledge action agenda item relevant to each specific community, country or continent, WBG Headquarters, IMF Headquarters, WTO (ITO) Headquarters;

· Ensure correct diagnosis,  correct prescription,  correct  surgery and correct  recovery management required for sustainable solutions to all root cause or primary cause national development cooperation and international development cooperation  problems on ground in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context;

· Ensure meaningful involvement of people who through their unadulterated struggle and commitment use their talents to seek true peace, security, equality, equity, justice and sustainable development in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context;

· Ensure original creators of innovative ideas applicable in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context; processed into study reports; conferences and meetings outcome documents conclusions and recommendations are meaningfully involved in the implementation of these innovative ideas;

·   Ensure effective design and delivery of communication for behavioral impact and changing attitude and behavior at scale required to achieve national visions and global visions by target date,  in each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional, regional and global location context;

·   Anchor the new compact in a renewed commitment to national and international solidarity, commensurate with the ability of each community/country to contribute.

As long as 28 EU Member States and EU/EC keep avoiding or evading operationalizing these Principles in Practice, finding sustainable solutions to real and complex Brexit root cause or primary cause problems on the ground in each of the 28 EU Member States as well as at EU Sub-regional level will be mirage.

Also as long as 193/306 UN Member States and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) keep avoiding or evading operationalizing these Principles in Practice, finding sustainable solutions to real and complex SDGs/SDGs Pledge root cause or primary cause problems on the ground in each of the 193/306 UN Member States – Community, Sub-national and National levels as well as at Sub-regional, Regional and Global level will be mirage.

7 Elements of the SDGs based on the 17 Principles

The People, Prosperity, Planet, Peace, Partnership; 5Ps of SDGs – Empowering People for Improving Prosperity, Protecting Planet, Prompting Peace depends on Strengthening Partnerships through Respecting Dignity and providing Justice Access to All Residents and Immigrants in all North and South countries in our World today. As long as these Key Elements of the SDGs are avoided or evaded in each specific community, country, continent location context achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge (No Goal will be considered met if it is not achieved by all Peoples in all outcries) in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date (with about 12 ½ years remaining and so much left to be done) will be Mirage.

Sustainable development must be an integrated agenda for political, economic, environmental and social solutions applicable in each specific community, country or continent location context. Its strength lies in the interweaving of its dimensions. This integration provides the basis for economic models that benefit people and the environment; for environmental solutions that contribute to progress; for social approaches that add to economic dynamism and allow for the preservation and sustainable use of the environmental commons; and for reinforcing human rights, equality and sustainability and political solutions that deliver governance models required to make all other models, solutions and approaches work for all.

Thus responding to all 17 SDGs  goals as a cohesive and integrated whole will be critical to ensuring the transformations needed at scale is achieved and in time for delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States in the 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date. Again we wait to see HOW this could be achieved without answering SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions and on time.

HPLF 2018 Outcome: Matters Arising?

UN system provides “vision” through the 2030 Agenda, but a critical factor for action is “enabling and empowering global, regional, sub-regional, national, sub-national and community state actors and non state actors, who shared in the co-authorship of this vision. This factor is missing. We wait to see HOW this factor could be found without answering SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres focused on leaving no one behind in his HPLF 2018 closing address on 18 July. He recognized progress towards the 2030 Agenda but emphasized that the world has “backtracked” in areas that are fundamental to the principle of leave no one behind.

It will be recalled that UN Secretary General Guterres at his Swearing In Ceremony on 15 December 2016 set out his Vision for the UN System. It will be Mission Impossible seeking to achieve the UNSG Vision that is Integral Part of work towards achieving 2030 Transformation Agenda Vision, as long as all 193/306 UN Member States remain Off Track delivering on SDGs/SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

It is pertinent to note that there is just 12 1/2 years remaining to deliver on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States. If UN SG Guterres is serious about meaningfully addressing what he termed “backtracked” areas that are fundamental to achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030, then he needs to take more vigorous action towards transforming his UN Vision from Intention to Reality. Please find link to our Comment on Ways and Means of Translating the UNSG Vision and Words into Vision and Words with Action, that is moving from Thoughts to Practical Action in our World as is and not as any Stakeholder no matter How powerful wish it to be: 

http://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2016/12/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and.html

2018 HLPF raised awareness of gaps in SDG implementation and evaluation and also underscored the need for increased attention on a number of issues, including technological change and population aging; injecting a sense of urgency into the process, including through greater political commitment and multi-stakeholder collaboration; accelerated implementation and evaluation of the SDGs; enhanced relationship between the public and private sectors to address challenges such as affordable housing, investments in technology and support for local businesses; addressing unilateralism and challenges in global trade matters; effectively doing the more work that need to be done in 12 ½ years remaining to meet the Global Goals on schedule; appreciating that incremental changes by arithmetic progression that is not in synergy are not sufficient; governments need to adopt leapfrog changes by geometric progression in synergy for adequate transformative actions driven by innovation to achieve delivery on SDG Pledge by end 2030 target date; address concern that the need for trillions of dollars in financing to implement the SDGs is not being met, etc.

It is regrettable that as at 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation, these issues still bog down SDG implementation. We argue that these issues persist because How Questions are evaded or avoided and will keep persisting until How Questions are answered. If it is agreed that failure to achieve delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States would have ultimate catastrophic consequences for our Fragile Planet and indeed All Citizens in all North Countries and South Countries in our World today, then One Day delay finding Correct Answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions in each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global location context could be One Day too late.

Are National Leaders and World Leaders, Business Leaders and Community Leaders as well as Universities Leaders and Media Leaders reading the signs of the times? Will National Crisis and World Crisis not lead to National Peril and World Peril if these Leaders do not urgently build bridge between Lessons Learning and Lessons Forgetting in the great task of completing unfinished business of the MDGs and accelerating to ensure all 193/306 UN Member States achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date?

The prevailing Neo-Liberal consensus espoused by leading politicians, academics and business leaders may be intellectually broke, it has nevertheless shaped many of the institutions that are presently asked to pick up the pieces left by the crisis. Yet there are viable and practical alternatives. However, as long as these types of  alternatives remain avoided or evaded, answer to How Questions cannot be found and this will ultimately result in all 193/306 UN Member States failure to get back On Track towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

There is urgent need to build “a perspective of change in societies” that:-

1.      Stems from citizens rather than states or markets

2.      Goes beyond the cosy arrangement that NGOs created for themselves under the Neo-Liberal consensus, taking over public functions from the State in social and other sectors

3.      Effectively answer real question: how can citizens exercise their civic and other rights through responsible agency?

4.      Effectively answer real question: how can social protection built on availability, accessibility, affordability, adequacy applicable to each of the 193/306 UN Member States specific circumstance be designed and delivered and in ways that help all 193/306 UN Member States achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge be end 2030 target date?

We have been consistent in urging 193/306 UN Member States and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) to shift from MDG Mode to SDG Mode and answer SDG How Questions and related How Questions.  DCF May 2018 ignored us; HPLF July 2018 ignored us. The next Major UNO Event is the HLM on Financing 2030 Agenda September 2018.

It is our hope that errors in DCF 2018 and HPLF 2018 will not be repeated in HLM Finance 2030 Agenda. It will be helpful if the 4^th Quarter in 2018 is used to meaningfully address all identified gaps. This way from 1^st Quarter 2019 Year 4 of Implementation or 13 of 60 Quarters of Implementation, all that needs to be done in the remaining 12 years remaining to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 will actually be done.

National and Global Revolutions for National and World Sustainable Development  

The Fourth Agriculture Revolution and Fourth Industrial Revolution MUST work for the World’s Poor if all 193/306 UN Member States are to be back on Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

https://theconversation.com/why-the-war-on-poverty-in-the-us-isnt-over-in-4-charts-99927?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20July%2020%202018%20-%20106929480&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20July%2020%202018%20-%20106929480+Version+A+CID_48a7d5e3aab649082be2b99d0ced752e&utm_source=campaign_monitor_us&utm_term=the%20latest%20data%20to%20provide%20the%20bigger%20picture%20on%20American%20poverty

To achieve this there is a need to ensure:-

1. Brexit is Force for Good.
2. Globalization is Force for Good.
3. New National Division of Labour.
4. New International Division of Labour.
5. New MSPs that Work for All especially the Disadvantaged Citizens in all Countries.
6. National and International Development Cooperation System fit for the 21^st Century.
7. Communication for Behavioural Impact / Changing Attitude and Behaviour at Scale appropriate at each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional or Global location context.

The unfinished business of the MDGs must be speedily completed. The Global Final Push to achieve MDGs by end 2015 Momentum must be re-started; the acceleration to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge must be started and the Global PUSH to achieve SDGs by 2030 must start immediately and be sustained to ensure success in all Communities in all Countries by end 2030 target date.

Waiting till 3-5 years to 2030 before starting the Global PUSH to achieve SDG by 2030 will be too, late as many Study Reports show that all North Countries and South Countries are Off Track with 12 ½ years remaining, so the Global PUSH to achieve SDGs by 2030 is already at least 3 years late, even if it should start NOW. Therefore there should be no further delay in this regard, if the much that need to be done in limited time remaining is to actually be done in all Communities, Countries and Continents Worldwide.

One Worldwide Approach

All concerned National and International Stakeholders using One Worldwide Approach (not One Cap Fit All but Generic Integrated Frameworks adaptable to meet unique needs of each specific community to global location context) to National and International Development Cooperation with clear Principles, Instruments corresponding to each Principle, Practices and Database such as 3PCM (Policy, Program, Project Cycle Management Approach to National and International Development Cooperation), that is:-

·        Whole of Society Approach

·        Whole of Government Approach

·        Whole of Bank Approach

·        Whole of UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF Approach

·        Whole of Institution Approach

·        Whole of Community Approach

·        Whole of Country Approach

And that has clear 7 Integrated Frameworks within Master Assessment Framework, MAF:

1  1. Ownership, Harmony, Accountability, Alignment, Transformation, Transparency, Leadership, Learning, Participation, Results and Measuring Success (OH2A2T2LPRMs) – Mutual Accountability Framework.

   2. Research, Planning, Data, Digitization, Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation, Assessment (RP2DIMEA) Joint Implementation Framework.

    3. Coordination, Collaboration, Cohesion, Commitment and Cooperation (5C) Joint Participation Framework.

4  4. Applied Knowledge, Applied Research, Applied Policy, Applied History, Communication, Cooperatives, Standards, Regulation and Sanctions (AkArApAh2CSRS) Joint Application Framework.

5  5. Systems Reform, Institutional Reform, Business Process Re-engineering, Productivity and Quality Improvement, Public Sector Management and Servant Leadership Development (SPqPrLD) Joint Change Framework.

6  6. National Sustainable Agriculture Revolution, National Public Sector Management, National Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy, National Productivity and Empowerment Strategy, National Attitudinal and Behavioral Change  Strategy, National Development Change  Strategy, National Lifelong Entrepreneurship Strategy, National Lifelong Learning Strategy and National Corruption Strategy (10 Pillars Friendly Policies Climate Reform) Joint Reform Framework.

7  7. Reforming Institutions, Productivity and Quality, Economic Growth, Empowerment and Solidarity, Attitudinal Change, Fighting Corruption, Development Communication, Climate Change, Risk Management and Data and Digitization (10 Pillars Support for Reforming Institutions Program) Joint Support Framework.

The 7 Integrated Frameworks are streamlined into 4 Segments:-

1  1. Accountability: Integrity; Rules and Regulations; Control and Standards; Fighting Corruption; Complaints and Grievance Resolution.

2  2. Budget: Public Finance; Public Procurement; Budget Support; Tax Administration.

3  3. Change: 10 Pillars FPCF Friendly Policies Climate Reform); 10 Pillars Support for Reforming Institutions; Spending Review; Viscous to Virtuous Circle.

4 4. Competencies: Management Assessment; Career Development; Recruitment; Leadership Development, Training and Education.

As long as UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities; 193/306 UN Member States – Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels; their National and International Partners continue to deploy Multiple Approaches to National and International Development Cooperation – many of which are divergent or contradictory, it will be mission impossible for them to deliver on the above SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.

The SDGs unlike the MDGs is for all Countries. The SDGs is All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Agenda that is Interrelated, Interlinked, Interconnected and Interdependent. As 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation go to end, the SDGs is yet to have All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious: Research, Planning, Data/Statistics, Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, Results/Measuring Success, Transparency, Accountability and Participation as One Framework for Delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge applicable to each specific  CSnNSrRG location context, and this One Framework using One Worldwide Integrated Approach to National and International Development Cooperation, such as 3PCM:-

http://nehmapglobal.org/3pcm-benefits-focused-one-worldwide-approach-to-national-and-international-development-cooperation-short-version/   

The Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy Members: Individually and Jointly is/are Challenged to Champion adoption of One Worldwide Approach to National and International Development Cooperation with clear Principles, Instruments corresponding to each Principle, Practices and Database through to persuading and if necessary pressuring UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities and 193/306 UN Member States: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels; their National and International Partners, including ICA and COPAC to recognize that One Worldwide Approach will solve many of the current shortcomings, drawbacks and hindrances being experienced in the implementation and evaluation of National and International Development  Cooperation Initiatives including  Cooperatives / Social Enterprise and Solidarity Economy Dimension to 2030 Transformation Agenda – AAAA, SDG, COP21 in each Community in each Country and in ways that deliver on the SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States and by end 2030 target date. Again we wait to see HOW these Social Enterprise and Solidarity Economy issues could be meaningfully addressed without answering SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions.

Paradigm Shifts

To make Right Choice in the work towards achieving all 17 Goals in 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21 and Agenda 21 as applicable to the unique and specific needs of all Peoples in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date (about 12 ½ years left), Now is Time for National and Global Stakeholder Groups – in each of 193/306 UN Member States to Reason and Get Real. One Day Delay in both North and South Countries sides jointly recognizing that our world today needs a paradigm shift from Talking and Thinking to Action and Accomplishments for Results may be One Day too late. That is at the community level, at the sub-national level, at the country level, at the sub-regional level, at the regional level, and at the global level, we all need to make these things happen and without further delay:

a) jointly making paradigm shifts from working in silos to working intersectorially in synergy;

b)   from multiple approaches to common approaches that continuously improve convergence, alignment and harmony;

c)   from business as usual to business unusual;

d)  from parrotting change to practicing change;

e)  from academic research aimed at advancing frontiers of knowledge to development research aimed at significant improvement in critical contemporary measures of service, speed, costs, quality and where necessary revenue;

f)  from capital driven by greed to exploit labor to capital driven by love to embrace labor

g) from unhealthy adversarial rivalry to healthy collaborative rivalry

h) from viscous circle (polarization, special interest, divided vision / poverty, human rights violation, unsustainable practices) to virtuous circle ( collaboration, common interest, united vision / prosperity, human rights protection, sustainable practices)

i) from Talking and Thinking to Action and Accomplishment.

The time to take these paradigm shifts serious is NOW.  Again we wait to see HOW these paradigm shift issues could be meaningfully addressed without answering SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions and related How Questions.

Achieving Delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) National and International and Partners sides –  The Big Issues

1. CSR Europe White Paper  2017 on “The SDGs; The Values”  extracts:-

a)    Research shows that there are a number of reasons why uptake of the SDGs remains low among some companies and some SESEOs / Cooperatives. These include: a lack of stakeholder demand for action on the Global Goals, a limited understanding of how the SDGs relate to the company’s core business, a sense that the Goals are too complex and insufficient government commitment and support for businesses to commit to the SDGs. Low social awareness is the biggest obstacle that business leaders face when trying to engage with the SDGs. Other challenges include a lack of clarity on directions or approaches to implement the SDGs, lack of government commitment or policies and lack of resources.

b)   This shows that many business leaders need greater support in terms of how to approach the Global Goals. There is also a need to create more mass engagement around the SDGs. Once again Government is mentioned as potentially playing a key role here. However, business leaders also suggest that more partnerships and the sharing of best practice and case studies are important for helping to create a roadmap that can inspire businesses to tackle the SDGs.

c)  Research demonstrates that there is a strong appetite among business leaders and SESEOs/ Cooperatives Leaders to partner and collaborate to address the SDGs. This signals that there is a great opportunity for governments and multi-lateral institutions to show more leadership and proactively engage with the business community and SESEOs/ Cooperatives community to provide more guidance and support on how to adopt and align with the SDGs. There is also an opportunity to communicate about the SDGs more widely, both within and outside of the business community and SESEOs/ Cooperatives community.

d)   The Trillions of US Dollars required to effectively finance SDGs Action Agenda Items: Research, Planning, Data/Statistics, Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, Results/Measuring Success, Transparency, Accountability and Participation as One as appropriate in each specific CSnNSrRG location context, cannot be provided by 193/306 UN Member States and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) alone. The Banks, Commercial Enterprises and SESE/Cooperatives need to be meaningfully involved. This is not yet the case. All obstacles need to be removed and without delay.

e)  The University Community – Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate Students and Undergraduate Students in Top 1000 Universities in the World Leading all Universities and Tertiary Institutions in all 193/306 UN Member States have much to contribute if all 193/306 UN member States are to achieve delivery on SDGs by end 2030 target date. These Top 1000 Universities and remaining Universities and Tertiary Institutions Worldwide need to be meaningfully involved. This is not yet the case. All obstacles need to be removed and without delay.

2. Without first finding Political Solutions to above issues within One Worldwide Approach Operationalizing in Practice the 17 Principles of the SDGs as applicable in each specific CSnNSrRG location context, it will be uphill task finding remaining Sustainable Solutions – Cultural, Economic, Financial, Social, Environmental, Peace, Security, Religious, Moral, Communication, SESE/Cooperatives, Legal and Technical as appropriate in each specific CSnNSrRG location context.
3. Without making Fourth Industrial Revolution and Fourth Agriculture Revolution Work for the over 4 Billion Poor, it will be uphill task achieving (1) – (3).
4. Without effectively linking all Communities in all 193/306 UN Member States with UNO Headquarters New York; WBG and IMF Headquarters Washington and WTO (ITO) Headquarters and without all relevant National and International Stakeholders effectively “Working Together to Benefit Together” and jointly adopting Correct Diagnosis, Correct Prescription,  Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management built upon “Separating Fact from Fiction”, “Speaking Truth to Power” and “UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) - Walking your Talk”, it will be mission impossible achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States and in the 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
5. Without Changing Attitude and Behavior at Scale on 193/306 UN Member States Governments: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Headquarters, Regional Offices and  Country Offices; Top 1,000 Universities Leading all remaining Universities and Tertiary Institutions Worldwide: Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate Students and Undergraduate Students; Banks, Commercial Enterprises and SESE/Cooperatives – Micro, Small, Medium, Large and Transnational; National and International Media: Radio, TV, Print and Online and their National and International Partners, it will be mission impossible achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States and in the 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
6. Without identifying Individuals and Institutions with Original and Unadulterated Innovative and Creative Sustainable Solutions to one or more SDGs Action Agenda Items in each specific CSnNSrRG location context, it will be uphill task to meaningfully address (1) – (5).

The Way Forward – Catching Up on MDGs and Accelerating to Deliver on SDGs Pledge

It is against this background that we urge the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and UN DESA in seeking to support 193/306 UN Member States to deliver on SDGs Pledge, in the 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date (noting that many countries will first have to catch up on MDGs), to speedily address Inclusion, Participation and related gaps in the High Level Advisory Board, HLAB inaugurated July 2018, by considering and taking appropriate action on the following points:-

1. Meaningfully addressing the disproportional influence of Trained Economists in National and International Development Cooperation Strategy Design and Delivery. Trained Economists have done lot of Good but also much more Harm. The Harm Deficit cannot be remedied as long as Trained Economists who caused many of the problems in the first place remain Pilots and Drivers of effort to get 193/306 UN Member States back on Track to achieve Delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
2. The HLAB Membership is disproportional in favour of US and Columbia University, New York. Yes, US and Columbia University have location advantage, but this should not override need for Inclusion and Participation balance in such important Global Advisory Board as the HLAB. There is urgent need to expand the HLAB to address Inclusion, Participation and related Gaps through respecting fair Regional / Sub-regional Representation as well as meaningful representation of Youth and Gender Balance. There is a need to ensure that HLAB work is translated from English to remaining 5 UN Official Languages; that UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Officially Adopt 8 Worldwide Regions and ensure Inclusion and Participation from all relevant Stakeholders in these 8 Regions in all UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Events and Activities for meaningfully supporting 193/306 UN Member States to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date. The 8 Worldwide Regions are:

a)      US, Canada & Western Europe

b)      Eastern & Southern Africa

c)      South Asia

d)      West & Central Africa

e)      Latin America & Caribbean

f)       East Asia & Pacific

g)      Middle East & North Africa

h)      Central and Eastern Europe & CIS.

3. Many Professionals who have much to contribute to the work of HLAB, if it is to help UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) to undertake Reforms necessary for Design and delivery of Re-engineering Program as well as Productivity and Quality Improvement Programs that meaningfully strengthen them to better support 193/306 UN Member States in the great Task of getting back On Track to achieve Delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 ½ years remaining, need to be brought on board HLAB and as soon as possible. These Professionals include

Development Anthropologists;

4. Ensure HLM on Financing 2030 Agenda September 2018 indeed Mark Turning Point in great Task of getting all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030.
5. Ensuring adequate levels of Intensive Diplomatic Effort and Massive Political Will required to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN member States is deployed and mobilized without further delay.
6. Ensure as many UN Member States as possible on both North and South Sides start deploying the 8 Point Main Concept for achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 without further delay.
7. The Global PUSH to achieve delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States MUST start NOW and be effectively driven by Innovative and Creative Sustainable Solutions for each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global location context, many of which will be Alternative Solutions to what has been in practice in the past and is still in practice now. 

8 Point Main Concept:-

1. Theory and Thoughtful Conceptualization without Practice and Action is Empty.
2. Practice and Action without Theory and Thoughtful Conceptualization is Blind.
3. Ideas Conceptualization not firmly grounded in Theory and Thoughtful Conceptualization with Practice and Action is Vision and Words and Motion without Movement.
4. Beyond Ideas Concept Actualization firmly grounded in Theory and Thoughtful Conceptualization with Practice and Action is Vision and Words for Productivity, Quality, Development Effectiveness, Development Impact Development Results and Motion with Movement.
5. Answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge HOW Questions in specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional or Global location context is DOING Matter and Hands On Matter firmly grounded in Beyond Ideas Concept Actualization.
6. Achieving delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge in each Community in each of 193/306 UN Member States in 12 ½ years remaining to end 2030 target date DEMAND New Innovative Project that is Championed by Top University, Government of Country: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels; Key UN System Entities led by UNDESA and FAO and EAG Collaborative Research Project as well as UN Member States and EAG Collaborative Research Project and Top Universities and EAG Collaborative Research Project – Individually or Jointly firmly grounded in Beyond Ideas Concept Actualization.
7. The New Innovative Project has strong Triangular link between Development Research; Universal Approach and Policy, Program, Project Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One - 3PIs3PIsTAO.
8. The New Innovative Project is firmly grounded in New National Development Vision and New International Development Vision in each specific participating North Country and South Country.

Conclusion

In the work towards achieving the 2030 Agenda Vision ambitions by Target date, fundamental issues that ought to have been settled by end 1^st quarter 2015, that is, 6 months before World Leaders endorsed the historic document are still outstanding in 3^rd   quarter 2018, that is, 35 months after the SDGs have been endorsed and 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation.  This gap needs to be filled and without delay.

National Leaders and World Leaders are fully aware that without effectively grappling with Climate Change Impact on Agriculture as well as Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Food, Agriculture and Nutrition; Public Sector Management; Public Finance Management; Cooperatives / Social Economy and Social Enterprise and Social Protection the possibility of achieving the Hunger Goal of the SDG is bleak. This in turn means achieving the Poverty Goal, Governance Goal, Urban/Rural Development Goal and related SDGs Goals in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 Target date will be uphill Task, if the gauntlet is not picked up by all relevant National and Global Stakeholders and without delay.

If this is not achieved, then finding Sustainable Solutions to Brexit and other EU Sub-region problems; Poverty and other AU Regional problems as well as other specific National, Sub-regional and Regional location specific problems on the ground will be uphill task.

To achieve these, there is need for Re-engineering FAO that is integral part of Re-engineering each UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF Entity and Re-engineering Universities in all 193/306 UN Member States and in ways that meaningfully address all Systems, Structures, Policies, Procedures, Cooperatives, Communication, Rules and Cultures Changes set out in the Paper and earlier submissions.

There are Bright Prospects of Success, should National Leaders and World Leaders be genuinely committed to contributing their quota towards achieving SDGs in all 193/306 UN Member States Vision Intention and Reality by end 2030 target date. Ultimate consequences of failure to find Sustainable Solutions to Brexit as well as to achieve delivery on SDGs/SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date would be catastrophic for Citizens in all North Countries and South Countries in our World today.

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