Sustainable Solutions to 193/306 UN Member States SDG Pledge Delivery by 2030: HPLF July 2018 Outcome - Matters Arising (2)?

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

World Leaders agreed in September 2015 the UN led Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, aimed at delivering Sustainable Solutions to real and complex World Political, Economic, Social, Security, Peace, Cultural, Religious and Environmental problems on the ground in each specific Community, Country or Continent location context by 2030. There is a Pledge in the SDGs which states that No Goal will be considered met if it is not achieved by all Peoples in all Countries.

SDGs Implementation started January 2016. At 2 2/3 years of Implementation there are many UN and UN Member States both North Countries and South Countries Reports that find that all 193/306 UN Member States are Off Track achieving SDGs and delivering on SDGs Pledge by end 2030, just 12 1/3 years remaining.

Our Organization’s Study finding is that this undesirable situation exists because fundamental issues that ought to have been settled by end 1st Quarter 2015 Year of decision are still outstanding as at 3rd Quarter 2018 Year 3 of Implementation. This Paper is our Organizations’ contribution towards getting all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track and On Time.

In Paper (1) we urged National Leaders and World Leaders to appreciate that as long as they 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.

We noted that DCF May 2018 and HPLF July 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.

We wait to see HOW all 193/306 UN Member States could achieve 2030 Transformation Agenda Vision by target date 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.

Central Role for UNO in Particular and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) in General

UNO in particular and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) in general has/have Central Role to Play in the design and delivery of Sustainability Strategy and SDGs in all 193/306 UN Member States that Work to help all 193/306 UN Member States achieve SDGs Pledge delivery in all Communities, in all Countries in all Continents in our World today. It is denial or deception to assume that only South Countries need help to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date. If North Countries could on their own achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge, they would all be in SDG Mode and all in 2018 be on Track towards achieving all 17 Goals of the SDGs by end 2030. The reality is that as at 2 2/3 years of Implementation all 193/306 UN Member States and all UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities are still in MDG Mode and all 193/306 UN Member States are Off Track in the work towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

To deliver on this Central Role responsibility UNO in particular and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) in general need to Collaborate better with other International Community Entities in all 193/306 UN Member States as well as all National and Sub-national Entities; all Universities and Tertiary Institutions; all Businesses – Micro, Small, Medium, Large and Transnational including Cooperatives and other Social Economy and Social Enterprises; all Banks and other Financial Institutions; all Communities and other Stakeholders Entities “To come up with ways and means of effectively and efficiently converting SDGs and other Global Goals Vision aligned and harmonized with National Development Plan; Sub-national Development Plans including all Communities Development Plans: Policy, Program and Project Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One. This will help in the design and delivery of the type of National and International Development Cooperation Model that achieve SDGs Pledge delivery by end 2030 target date in each specific Community, Country or Continent location context, thus meeting the real needs of over 4 Billion Poor in all North and South Countries in our World today.

To achieve delivery on this HUGE responsibility, we urge the UNO in particular and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) in general to genuinely appreciate that:-
1.  SDGs/SDGs Pledge What Questions have been over-answered but SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions continue to be avoided or evaded; that answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge What Questions are easy as they are essentially SAYING Matter but answer to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions are especially difficult as they are essentially DOING and that without answering SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions, it will be uphill task achieving delivery on Global and National Visions in all 193/306 UN Member States.
2.    The real implication of the SDGs Pledge is that should 192/305 UN Member States and all Communities in remaining UN Member State meet all 17 Goals of the SDGs but this last Community in this last Country fail to meet just 1 of the 17 Goals of the SDGs, all 17 Goals of the SDGs have not been met by all 193/306 UN Member States.  

SDGs: Universal and Integrated Agenda

The SDGs is a universal agenda. Humankind faces the same global challenges, and today’s problems transcend borders—even in the richest countries there is destitution and exclusion. Universality implies that all countries will need to change, each with its own approach, but each with a sense of the global common good. Universality is the core attribute of human rights and intergenerational justice. It compels us to think in terms of shared responsibilities for a shared future. It demands policy coherence. Universality embodies a new global partnership for sustainable development in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations.

The SDGs must in reality be an integrated agenda for political, economic, financial, peace, security, cultural, communication, environmental, social and religious 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. 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 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

Eradicating hunger, malnutrition and poverty by 2030 is the overarching objective of the sustainable development agenda. We live in a world of plenty, and at a moment of enormous scientific promise. And yet, for hundreds and hundreds of millions across the globe, this is also an age of gnawing deprivation. The defining challenge of our time is to close the gap between our determination to ensure a life of dignity for all, and the reality of persisting poverty and deepening inequality.

Achieving the SDGs is not an exercise in achieving a collection of individual targets, but rather an exercise in collaboration and joint efforts within government, to a level that has not been seen before. The realization of the SDGs requires the coordination of actions of different levels of government in all 193/306 UN Member States; the entire UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO); the entire University and Tertiary Institutions System in all 193/306 UN Member States; their National and International Partners with the support of Internal and External Consultants with minimum certain levels of Hard Competencies: Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage, Cultural, Discipline and Mindset required to help the National and International Stakeholders in each specific Community, Country, Continent location context acquire the minimum certain levels of Hard Competencies: Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage, Cultural, Discipline and Mindset required to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

The United Nations is also working to make itself fit-for-purpose for the 2030 Agenda. This underlines urgent need to reform the UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) as well as National and International Development Cooperation Systems to be fit for the 21st Century.

SDGs Scorecard – August 2018

The result in 11 of 60 Quarters of Implementation of SDGs has underscored the call for the urgent need to recognize and address the trust deficit between Governments, institutions and the people. Providing an enabling environment to build inclusive and peaceful societies, ensure social cohesion and respect for the rule of law will require rebuilding institutions at the country level and international institutions at the global level ensure that the great task of getting all 193/306 UN Member States back on track on achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 12 1/3 years remaining is done.

This calls for meaningful transformations of our economies in all North and South countries on one hand and in specific community, country and continent location context on the other hand and in ways that make our patterns of economic growth and social justice more inclusive, while improving sustained and sustainable production and practices in all relevant stakeholder groups. It is pertinent to note that People in all North and South countries want decent jobs, social protection, robust agricultural systems and rural prosperity, sustainable cities, inclusive and sustainable industrialization, resilient infrastructure and sustainable energy for all.

These transformations driven by reforming national and international trade, ensuring effective regulation of national and international: markets and financial actors as well as taking vigorous action to fight national and international corruption, curb national and international illicit financial flows, combat national and international money-laundering and tax evasion and national and international recovery of stolen and hidden assets, will also help tackle climate change in all  North and South countries.

These transformations would also be driven by a rigorous and participatory monitoring and evaluation / review framework to hold Governments, businesses and international organizations accountable to the people for results in each specific community, country, continent location context, and to ensure that no harm is done to the planet on one hand and a data revolution to make information and data more available, more accessible and more broadly disaggregated, as well as for measurable goals and targets and a participatory mechanism to review: research, planning, data/statistics,  implementation, evaluation, learning, transparency, accountability, participation, measuring success at each specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional,  regional and global location context on the other hand.

Urgent Action Needed Now

Urgent action is needed to mobilize, redirect and unlock the transformative power of trillions of dollars of private resources from commercial enterprises as well as social economy and social enterprises to deliver on sustainable development objectives. Long-term investments, including foreign direct investment, are needed in critical sectors in both north and south countries. These include sustainable energy, infrastructure and transport, as well as information and communications technologies.

The public sector will need to set a clear direction. Review and monitoring frameworks, regulations and incentive structures that enable such investments must be retooled to attract investments and reinforce sustainable development. National oversight mechanisms such as supreme audit institutions (not just amounting audit but all types of audit relevant to sustainable development, for example, environmental audit, social audit, political audit etc) and oversight functions by legislatures should be strengthened.

SDGs Complementary Relationships

Effectiveness of one institution or policy in a particular sphere may lead to, or require, complementary institutions or policies in others. Pursuit of one set of policies in one domain and the neglect of others may undermine the full realization of the benefits of the chosen set of policies.

Achieving institutional complementarity requires – but should not be reduced to – policy coherence. Institutional complementarities or policy regimes are a product of competing values on rights, differences in the weights accorded to markets and non-market institutions in coordinating activities, and differences in power structures that have evolved historically. The exploitation of synergies among different sectors and subsectors is important in overcoming poverty and inequality. However, such synergistic relationships are not automatic. They require conscious design of both economic and social policies, backed by sufficiently powerful coalitions to see them through.

SDGs Financing

Ultimately, to fully mainstream SDG investing, new products need to be developed. The financial sector excels at innovation when demand is there. If Government creates Demand, the Private Sector including the Financial Sector will create supply.

To achieve the SDGs, Member States need not only increased financing, but also fit-for-purpose national and international institutions that facilitate economic stability and sustainable development.

Finding a successful SDG Financing Model means not just changing how businesses operate, by establishing businesses which, like co-operatives, are more likely in the longer-term to meet human needs; it also means changing how people behave.

We all need to stop behaving as investors looking to maximize gain; if we want a better world, we need to place our funds where they are more likely to build a better world. They won’t do that if we invest them in equity shares.

Capital instruments need to be in tune with the attitudes and motivations of the day. So the goal is to provide a credible proposition for a co-operative future which people can recognize, understand and believe in, and then provide the right mechanism through which they can use their funds to secure that future. This means a financial proposition which provides a return, but without destroying co-operative identity; and which enables people to access their funds when they need them. It also means exploring wider options for access to capital outside traditional membership, but without compromising on member control.

This is the context in which appropriate financial instruments, through which people can fund co-operatives, are essential. This is territory already much explored by companies, but similar time and energy has not been applied in the co-operative sphere. All necessary measures must be taken to ensure Cooperatives and other Social Economy and Social Enterprise Organization optimize their potentials to make optimum contribution towards raising the Trillions of Dollars required to finance the SDGs in speifi Community, Country, Continent location context.

Indivisible SDG – collaboration, cohesion, coordination, cooperation, commitment

The understanding of hunger, malnutrition and poverty in specific community, sub-national, national, sub-regional or regional location is complex, context-dependent and culturally mediated. Integration of participatory approaches into national and international development cooperation responses are essential to look in the right places, ask the right questions and listen more effectively before making technical recommendations and implementing relevant SDGs Policy, Program, Project, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One interventions using consistent advocacy for multidisciplinary, multisectoral, intergovernmental and interministerial approaches or one worldwide approach that is whole of community, whole of government, whole of bank, whole of institution, whole of country and whole of society approach) to ending hunger, malnutrition and poverty worldwide.

The protection and improvement of health and wellbeing is also central to the synergistic interactions of the SDGs

The SDGs would need to be further mainstreamed in current and future policies, programs and projects in all 193/306 UN Member States. However this will not happen by essentially making use of existing tools and coherence mechanisms without additional tools and linked collaboration, coherence, cooperation, coordination and commitment mechanisms.

The Conclusions of the EU Council representing the EU member states adopted in June 2017  document recognized that a higher level of ambition is required from both the EU institutions and the member states to implement and evaluate the 2030 Agenda for delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date. In the document Member states through EU Council urged the Commission to undertake a comprehensive gap analysis, identify further action in all relevant policy areas, and to speed up the elaboration of an EU-wide SDG implementation strategy with timelines, objectives and concrete measures.

The Council also acknowledged that the universal and integrated nature of the 2030 Agenda and the inter-linkages between SDGs call for a much more holistic and coherent approach that involves internal and external actors. This required some structural reorganization of the Council’s own working methods. In particular, all relevant Council formations and their working groups should ensure the coherence of sectoral policies and include all three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental – in EU internal and external policies. This seemingly technical evolution in working formations is a strong statement of intent and a different way of doing business.

The Council finding apply not just to the EU but also to all remaining Regions in our World today. The Challenge is for the Council, EU and EC to “Walk the Talk” and for all remaining regions not to wait for the Council, EU and EC before Operationalizing in Practice this finding in their own Region and Country location context.

SDG Communication

Communication is central to this notion. It is a process that promotes dialogue among all the people involved in national and international development cooperation, at the centre of which are affected communities and people at risk. This process can ultimately help strengthen relationships, build trust and enhance transparency among all those working towards delivering on SDG Pledge to achieve end hunger, malnutrition and poverty in all communities in all 193/306 UN member States.

SDG Technical Interventions

Technical interventions must be understood and applied in their behavioural, cultural, religious, economic, political and social context. It is these settings that determine the success of implementation and evaluation 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One. While many factors contribute to behavioural outcomes for the implementation and evaluation interventions, the outcomes cannot be achieved without structured, strategically planned communication interventions to support specific results. Behavioural and social interventions, combines a number of different interventions for each of the 17 Goals of the SDGs and is not limited to communication.

Asking appropriate HOW questions for Sustainable Solutions towards achieving delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date include asking: How do we break the barriers to accelerate the pace of political development, economic development, social development and environmental sustainability - In all 193/306 UN Member States with competitive advantage to benefit from WIN WIN National and International Development Cooperation Initiatives driven by Working Together to Benefit Together? Underlining these answers are very complex SDG Technical Interventions. As long as National and World Leaders continue to avoid or evade meaningfully addressing real and complex SDGs Technical Interventions issues on the ground inn each specific Community, Country, Continent location context, it will be uphill task achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all North and South Countries in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

SDGs Indexes

National and Global GDP, Governance, Corruption, Poverty and related Indexes being used today are inadequate Measures, if all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On Track towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

There urgent need to develop new Economy, Productivity, Governance, Corruption, Poverty etc Indexes that better guide Communities and Countries to Progress from where they are now to where they need to be if they are to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

National and Global Indexes that are based essentially on academic research aimed at advancement of knowledge are not helpful as they are in reality abstract Indexes that make no meaning in the lives of over 4 Billion Poor and contribute little or nothing to help or motivate Communities or Countries to fill knowledge, information, research, communication gaps as they work towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

There is urgent need for New National and Global Indexes that are essentially based on development research aimed at significant improvements in service, speed, quality, costs and where necessary revenues and profit. These are helpful indexes that make meaning in the lives of over 4 Billion Poor and much to help or motivate Communities or Countries to fill knowledge, information, research, communication gaps as they work towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

SDGs and Fourth Industrial Revolution and Fourth Agricultural Revolution

It's quite possible that the fourth industrial revolution isn't the fourth industrial revolution. It could be a post-industrial revolution. It could be that we're going to get a lot better at developing technologies that do things that human beings used to do, and a lot of human beings are not going to have a lot of productive jobs available to them. And then we don't have a lost generation, we have a failed political, social, economic, peace, security, religious and environmental model that needs to change.

Right now National and World Leaders are not even really recognizing that we have this type of change problem in all 193/306 UN Member States. The SDGs present a global framework for making Fourth Industrial Revolution and Fourth Agricultural Revolution work for over 7 Billion People in our World today. All Communities, Countries and Continent that do not effectively Key into the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Fourth Agricultural Revolution to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date, will be left further behind. This underlines the importance of meaningful implementation and evaluation of the SDGs, considering that the framework is already in its third year and needs a more ambitious and urgent action plan.

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 11 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 1/3 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 1/3 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 (2)?

In addition to issues raised in HPLF 2018 Outcome: Matters Arising (1)? We wish to highlight the following additional issues:-

1.      Our Organization is the only One anywhere in our World today Advocating for correct answers to SDGs/SDGs Pledge How Questions; Policy Reform How Questions; Service delivery How Questions; Public Sector Management How Questions, Agriculture Revolution How Questions; Cooperatives / Social Economy and Social Enterprise How Questions and related How Questions. We also have the most Advanced One Worldwide or Universal Approach available anywhere in our World today. UNO and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Partnership with EAG/ISPE/ERA/NEHMAP Kick Started immediately will deliver Sustainable Benefits to Target Groups including UN System Entities.
2.      Current effort, multiple approaches, priorities and direction cannot deliver SDGs Pledge in all Countries in 100 years. If things continue like this ultimate consequences for our fragile Planet would be catastrophic.
3.      New effort, universal approach, priorities and direction as proposed in this submission, meaningfully supported by UNO and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Partnership with EAG/ISPE/ERA/NEHMAP could lay foundation in next 4 months to end 2018 and built upon could accelerate Global Push to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in all Countries in 10 years. This gives 2 years to Pull Up all Laggard Nations. This way New Innovative and Creative Sustainable Solutions in New MSPs that Work would help achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in all North and South Countries thus handing over Stronger, Peaceful and Prosperous World to Future generations.
4.      Top 10, Top 100 and Top 1,000 Universities in the World Global Goals Project Catalyzing all Universities and Tertiary Institutions in all 193/306 UN Member States Global Goals Project is requirement for getting Great Task of achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States DONE in 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date. No UN Member State can rise above its University and Tertiary Institution capability in the work towards achieving delivery of SDGs Pledge.
5.      Build Internal and External Consultants Support Facility appropriate to specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional or Global, CSnNSrRG location context SDGs Pledge delivery by 2030 needs. Individual and Institution Consultants must have minimum certain levels of Hard Competencies: Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage, Cultural, Discipline and Mindset to be able to effectively support all relevant National and International Stakeholders in specific CSnNSrRG location context to acquire minimum certain levels of Hard and Soft Competencies they need to deliver on their Duty Bearer Responsibilities.
6.      Our World cannot afford to let Nigeria Collapse – a high probability given realities on the ground as Nigeria race to 2019 Elections. In the Work to make World Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty History; Africa is holding the World back and Nigeria is holding Africa back. Nigeria, Africa and World have the resources to achieve Nigeria, Africa and World without Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty by 2030. The implication is that Nigeria is the MASTER KEY to achieving delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date through all domestic and international stakeholders joint approach to work together to benefit together in meaningfully addressing Fulani Herdsmen Menace; UK/EU Brexit; US/China Trade War and US/EU Trade War.
7.      National and Global Visions in Nigeria should Drive New Cooperatives Revolution that is interrelated, interconnected, interdependent and interlinked with: Primary Revolutions - New Agriculture Revolution; New Industrial Revolution; New Enterprise/Lifelong Entrepreneurship Revolution; New Government Revolution; New Applied Research Revolution; New Attitudinal and Behavioral Change Revolution; New Data Revolution; New Digitization Revolution and Secondary Revolutions – Lifelong Education Revolution; Health – Human, Animal, Plant Revolution; New Water Revolution; New Sanitation Revolution; New Housing Revolution; New Sports Revolution; New Music and Entertainment Revolution; New Anti Corruption Revolution; New Security and Peace Revolution; New Justice Access Revolution etc as One and as applicable to each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional or Global location context.

It is pertinent to note that the 7 Elements of the SDGs based on the 17 Principles are in reality the Building Blocks of meaningful effort at achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2013 target date. As long as National and World Leaders keep dancing around issues relating to operationalizing in practice the 7 Elements of the SDGs based on the 17 Principles as applicable in each specific Community, Country, Continent location context, it will be mission impossible seeking to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States in the 12 1/3 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

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 1/3 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.

8 Point Main Concept for achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery Worldwide by end 2030:-
  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 1/3 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, UNDP 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.
