Achieving
Delivery on SDGs Pledge in each specific Community, Country, Continent location
context, in less than 12 years remaining to end 2030 target date – Urgent Need
for UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) to Face New Direction and Adopt New
Priorities (2).
Introduction
World Leaders agreed the Sustainable Development
Goals, SDGs or World 2030 Transformation Agenda in September 2030. As all
193/306 UN Member States are Off Track achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge which
states that none of the SDGs 17 Goals will be considered met, if it is not
achieved by All Peoples in All Countries.
With less than 12 years to end 2030 target date, now is an appropriate
time to pause, reflect on the over 3 years of SDGs Implementation Worldwide, to
critically assess what is working and HOW it could be further improved and what
is not working and HOW it could be effectively corrected.
In Paper (1) we addressed the Big Question of
UNDESA Re-engineering itself and in ways that effectively position its 10
Divisions, including 2 New Divisions to better support all 193/306 UN Member
States to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the less than
12 years remaining to end 2030 target date.
UN Member States will hold their first
consultations of the 73rd UNGA session on coherence among the agendas of the UN
General Assembly (UNGA), the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and other
UN bodies and forums in light of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, on
18 March 2019. The co-facilitators for these intergovernmental consultations
have issued a preparatory note with guiding questions for discussion.
The Joint Inspection Unit of the UN System
(JIU) has issued a report that reviews UN administrative efficiency. It
provides ten recommendations for improvement through UN inter-agency
cooperation. Recommendations for action are directed at the UN Secretary-General,
the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) and the UN
Sustainable Development Group, among other UN actors and entities.
The UNSG did not comment on this UNJIU Report
2018. In March 2019 letter he simply drew the attention of 193/306 UN Member
States and ECOSOC to the
Report. It will be recalled that UNSG commented on UNJIU Report 2017 in 2018.
Our Organization commented on both the UNSG comment 2018 and UNJIU Report 2017
UNDESA, IPCCC and Government of
Denmark are Co-Conveners of SDG-Climate Change Conference 1 – 3 April 2019 Copenhagen
Denmark, aimed at connecting the 2 Global Agendas. We have suggested to the 3 Co-Conveners
that for Best Results the Conference needs to connect 5 Global Goals – SDGs, COP21,
AAAA, Agenda21 – Rio and Rio+20 and NIEO and in ways that answer HOW Questions as appropriate or applicable in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.
If the UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO)
Authorities and 193/306 UN Governments Authorities are to jointly get done the
Huge Task of getting all 193/306 UN Member States back On Track to achieve
delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ¾ years remaining to end 2030 target date, there
is urgent need to give substance to the DCF 2018 overarching outcome – urgent need for International Development Cooperation Rapid/Fast and Radical/Fundamental Change, if all 193/306 UN Member States are to achieve
delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030.
This Paper is intended to draw attention of UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Authorities
and 193/306 UN Governments Authorities to the urgent need for them to
individually and jointly Face New Direction and Adopt New Priorities, if our
fragile Planet is to avoid Peril anytime from 2030 based on IPCCC
and NASA Warnings.
Indivisible
SDG – collaboration, cohesion, coordination, cooperation, commitment
The
understanding of hunger, malnutrition and poverty as well as governance, climate
change and environmental sustainability in each specific Community, Sub-Country,
Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context is complex, context-dependent
and culturally mediated.
The SDGs
contain Master Keys to many National and International Problems on the ground
today including Conflict, Inequalities, Unsustainable Production, Unsustainable
Consumption, Unsustainable Citizenship, Migration and Brexit etc.
The
effective Integration of Universal/One Worldwide 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 Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as One Interventions using consistent
advocacy for multidisciplinary, multisectoral, intergovernmental and interministerial
approaches or Universal / One Worldwide approach that is whole of community, whole of
government, whole of bank, whole of institution, whole of UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO, whole of country and whole of society approach to ending hunger,
malnutrition and poverty; tackling climate change and addressing environmental sustainability worldwide
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.
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 delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member
States has been avoided or evaded. This an no longer be the case, if National
Leaders and World Leaders are serious about achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge
in the 11 ¾ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
Finding a successful 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 maximise 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 required to raise the US$ 700 Trillion required to fund SDGs Pledge
delivery Worldwide 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
for raising the required US$ 700 Trillion, through which people can fund co-operatives to provide significant
portion of the US$ 700 Trillion, are essential.
This is territory already much
explored by companies, but similar time and energy has not been applied in the co-operative sphere. Re-engineered UNDESA
and its 10 Re-engineered Divisions including UNSDGs, UNMSPs, UNCSD need to work
jointly to lead the way in this regard.
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,
economic, social, environmental and governance as one model that needs to
change as appropriate or applicable in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context. Right now
National Leaders and World Leaders are not even really recognizing that we –
all 193/306 UN Member States Individually and Jointly have this problem.
It is important to stress that the protection
and improvement of health and wellbeing is central to the synergistic interactions of the SDGs; that the SDGs would need to be further mainstreamed in current and future policies in all 193/306
UN Member States Governments – Executive, Legislature, Judiciary Entities at
all levels and all UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Entities – Headquarters,
Regional Offices, Country Offices and Sub-Country Offices and that the fourth
industrial revolution and fourth agriculture revolution need to jointly
work for the World’s Poor and that
meaningful implementation as well as the monitoring and evaluation of the
implementation of the SDGs need to be taken more seriously, considering that
the SDGs World Transformation Agenda Framework is already in its fourth year
and needs a more ambitious action plan within All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Implementation and
Evaluation Agenda as appropriate or applicable in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context, if all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On
Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ¾ years remaining to end
2030 target date.
We urge National Leaders and World Leaders to
genuinely appreciate that these Changes 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 focused on achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge, as appropriate or applicable in each
specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global
location context, and in the 11 ¾ years remaining.
Achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery Ambition in all 193/306 UN
Member States by end 2030
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.
The scale of the ambition
captured in the SDGs has moved from a whole-of-government
effort to whole-of-society effort,
and from billions to trillions of US dollars about US$ 700 Trillion.
The People, Prosperity, Planet, Peace, Partnership; 5Ps of SDGs –
Empowering People for Improving Prosperity, Protecting Planet, Prompting Peace
depends on Strengthening Multi
Stakeholder Partnerships/Platforms, MSPs, through Respecting Dignity and
providing Justice Access to All Residents and Immigrants in all North and South
countries in our World today.
Sustainable development must be an integrated agenda for political, economic, environmental and social,
governance etc innovative sustainable solutions
applicable in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent
and Global location context. Its strength lies in the interweaving of its
dimensions.
This integration provides the basis for Sustainable Development Models
that benefit People and the Environment; for Climate Change and Environmental
Sustainable 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 11 ¾ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
The SDGs compels us to think
in terms of shared responsibilities for a shared future. It demands policy coherence, coordination, cooperation,
collaboration and commitment. Universality embodies a new global partnership for sustainable development in the spirit of
the Charter of the United Nations. 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.
The result in 13 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 o
achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in the 11 ¾ years remaining is done.
This calls for meaningful transformations
of our economies in all North and South countries on one hand and as applicable in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global 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 practises in all relevant stakeholder groups – national and
international.
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 as applicable in
each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global location context. on the other hand.
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.
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.
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, coordination, cooperation,
collaboration and commitment. 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 economic and social policies and complementary political, governance,
climate change and environmental policies, backed by sufficiently powerful
coalitions to see them through.
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. The UNO will facilitate link between Demand and Supply.
To achieve delivery on the SDGs Pledge, 193/306 Member States need
not only increased financing, but also fit-for-purpose
national and international institutions that facilitate economic stability
and sustainable development; realization of the SDGs requires the coordination
of actions of different levels of government; National and World Leaders
genuinely appreciating 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 and better
supporting the United Nations in its ongoing work to make itself fit-for-purpose for the 2030 Agenda.
As long as these Key Elements of the SDGs, including answering
SDGs Pledge How Questions, are avoided
or evaded in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent
and Global 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 11 ¾ years remaining and so much left to be done) will be Mirage.
SDGs
and Climate
Change Conference, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1 – 3 April 2019
World Leaders in September 2015 agreed history 2030
Transformation Agenda, SDGs. The (overarching) SDGs is All Inclusive, All Embracing, Ambitious Global Agenda aimed
at helping all 193/306 UN Member States jointly
find Innovative Sustainable Solutions to all identified real and complex
Political, Cultural, Economic, Financial, Social, Communication, Peace,
Security, Environment, Climate Change, Governance, Productivity, Corruption and
Religion etc problems on the ground in each specific Community, Sub-Country,
Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.
The (overarching) SDGs has Two main Concepts – Leave No One Behind and Work Together Benefit
Together and One main Pledge – None
of its 17 Goals will be considered met if it is not achieved by All Peoples in
All Countries.
In 2019 Year 4 of Implementation, with about 11 ¾ years
to end 2030 target date, all 193/306 UN Member States are Off Track achieving delivery on (overarching) SDGs Pledge. Our
Study Finding is that World Leaders are yet to agree All Inclusive, All Embracing, Ambitious Implementation and Evaluation
Agenda and a Universal or One
Worldwide Approach for (overarching) SDGs Implementation and
Evaluation. This explain why all 193/306
UN Member States are Off Track.
If all 193/306 UN Member States are to get back On Track to achieve delivery
on (overarching) SDGs Pledge in the less than 12 years remaining, World Leaders
cannot afford to delay agreeing a
Universal or One Worldwide Approach for delivery on SDGs Pledge as well as All
Inclusive, All Embracing, Ambitious SDGs Implementation and Evaluation
Agenda. The One Worldwide Approach that
Work need to be:-
1. Whole of Community Approach; Whole of Bank Approach;
Whole of Institution Approach; Whole of UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Approach;
Whole of Government Approach; Whole of Country Approach and Whole of Society
Approach as One.
2. Deployed within Backbone
Global Multi Stakeholder Partnership/Platform, MSP with Global and National
MSPs for delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States as applicable
or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global location context.
No One Individual, Institution or Government
has all the answers to all (overarching) SDGs Pledge Delivery problems on the
ground in each specific North or South Country, not to talk of all 193/306 UN
Member States.
Records show that EAG/ISPE/ER/NEHMAP is the
only Organization doing Global Advocacy for answer to (overarching) SDGs Pledge
How Questions in all 193/306 UN Member States. We do not have all the answers.
What we have is the most Advance Approach/Frameworks/Initiatives to help all
193/306 UN Member States achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in less than 12 years
remaining to end 2030 target date.
It will be recalled that the overarching
outcome of DCF 2018 was urgent need for
International Development Cooperation Rapid / Fast and Radial / Fundamental
Change if all 193/306 UN Member States are to achieve delivery on
(overarching) SDGs Pledge by 2030; that IPCCC released October 2018 Report
warning that our World has 12 years to take effective remedial action to avoid
Climate Change Catastrophe.
It will be recalled further that DCF 2018,
HLPF 2018 and remaining UN Events to date (the probability is High that UNEA4
has also made the same error) continue to avoid or evade answer to SDGs Pledge
HOW Questions. As long as this remain the case, getting all 193/306 UN Member
States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge will be Mirage.
The SDGs and Climate Change Conference, 1 – 3
April 2019 is another opportunity
for UNO Entities and UN Member States to really grapple with the Challenge of finding correct answer to SDGs Pledge
HOW Questions; fully implementing these answers with effective monitoring and
evaluation of this implementation as applicable or appropriate in each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location
context.
UNJIU Report on
Review of UN Administrative Efficiency 2019: Matters Arising?
We have read with interest UNJIU Report on Review
of UN Administrative Efficiency, 2019. We commend the author for impressive
work done. However, we urge UNJIU to appreciate that for Best Results UNJIU
Reports need to be written base on Multi Disciplinary Experts Findings rather
than the present Single Expert Findings – No matter the level of Multi
Disciplinary Expertise the Expert may have; he/she will always be operating at
his/her level of incompetence producing UNJIU Reports that effectively address
SDGs Pledge Delivery problems as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global location context.
We are concerned that points made regarding
UNJIU Report on Private Sector Participation in SDGs Pledge Delivery 2017 and
UNSG comment on this UNJIU Report 2018 that effectively address SDGs Pledge HOW
Questions including of UNO Reforms HOW Questions seem to have been ignored, yet
UNJIU and UNO keep repeating errors that could have been prevented had UNJIU
and UNO taken appropriate action of these Innovative Sustainable Solutions.
It is pertinent to note that key findings of
this UNJIU Report 2018 coincides with our Organization’s Study Finding that we
had shared years back and continue to share:-
- There
is disconnect between each Community
in all 193/306 UN Member States and UN System: UNO Headquarters New York;
WBG and IMF Headquarters Washington and WTO Headquarters
- The disconnect between UNO Sub-Country
and Country Offices and UNO Regional Offices and Headquarters. The same
applies to all remaining UN System: WBG, IMF, WTO Entities.
- As
we enter the 10th year in the 2nd 50 Years of
International Development Cooperation, the overarching Lessons Learned is
that No Lessons have been Learnt.
- UNO
and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Entities taking divergent position of the same issues – Call for Universal Approach but continue to
support Individual Approaches; Call for Private Sector Participation but continue to avoid or evade
supporting required Multi Stakeholder Partnerships/Platforms and Call for
UNO/UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Delivery
as One but avoid or evade supporting All Inclusive, All Embracing and
Ambitious Approach/Frameworks/Models etc
- As
at end 1st Quarter 2019 Year 4 of Implementation, UN System:
UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and 193/306 UN Member States are yet to agree a Universal/One Worldwide
Approach. The result is that at both Inter-Ministerial and
Inter-Governmental levels as well as Inter-Agency and Intra-Agency levels
there are Multiple Approaches many of which are divergent or
contradictory, thus pulling back work towards achieving delivery on SDGs
Pledge by 2030.
- UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO are overwhelmed
by complexity. This is because they are more concerned by deploying Academic/Theory Research that is
Abstract Research aimed at advancing frontiers of scientific knowledge
to understand complexity rather than deploying Development /Professional Research that is Applied Research
aimed at achieving significant improvements in critical contemporary
measures of quality, speed, service, costs and where necessary revenue and
profit. With right Technical Advice and Reform Consulting Support, the UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO will find it much easier finding Innovative Sustainable Solutions to the complexity
problems they have been grappling with before SDGs and in the past 3
years of implementing SDGs in all 193/306 UN Member States
- The
identified Data problem is evidence
that UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO and 193/306 UN Member States need to
urgently go back to UNSG Ban Ki Moon IAEG on Data Revolution Report November
2014 and UNSG Ban Ki Moon Synthesis Report December 2014 with appropriate
updates, some of which we have suggested in earlier Papers
- UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Intra
and Inter Agency Cooperation is very weak
- Ongoing
UNO Reforms are not All Inclusive,
All Embracing and Ambitious to achieve UNO Delivery as One – a Master
Key in Repositioning the UNO to better support all 193/306 UN Member
States to get back On Track to achieve Delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ¾
years remaining to end 2030 target date.
- There
is no UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO
Delivery as One Reforms that is sufficiently All Inclusive, All
Embracing and Ambitious – a Master Key. The UNJIU Report 2018 did not address this important
point.
- The
Acid Test of Credibility of
UNJIU Report Conclusions and Recommendations is HOW it support all 193/306
UN Member States and all UNO Entities and ultimately all UN System: UNO,
WBG, IMF, WTO Entities to ensure that all Communities in all 193/306 UN
Member States achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in 11 ¾ years remaining to
end 2030 target date. As long as UNJIU itself; all 193/306 UN Member
States and all UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Headquarters, Regional
Offices, Country Offices and Sub-Country Offices Entities avoid or evade
answer to SDGs Pledge How Questions as applicable or appropriate in each
specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global location context, the probability that UNJIU will Pass this Acid
Test of Credibility is Low. Should UNJIU Fail this Acid Test of Credibility,
the ultimate consequences for our fragile Planet will be catastrophic.
- Answering SDGs How Questions as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context is DOING Matter, that greatly depend on meaningfully addressing Goals Framework, Means Framework, Effectiveness Framework on One hand and Desk Analysis Initiatives, Pilot Program and Scale Up Program and Feeding back Lessons Learnt into a Pilot Program and Scale Up Program as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context. The UNJIU Report 2018 is fresh evidence that without Technical Advice and Reform Consulting Support for Organizations that have required levels of Know How, UNO/UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO will keep dancing around issues and hiding under complexity to lament that SDGs is too HARD to achieve, while our Fragile Plant keep accelerating on MADning (Mutually Assured destruction) Road to DOOM. The time to Change to accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM is NOW. One Day Delay may be One Day too late.
Intergovernmental
Consultations on Enhancing Coherence between UNGA, ECOSOC and other UN Bodies
and Forums in the light of the SDGs
UN Member States will hold
their first consultations of the 73rd UNGA session on coherence among the
agendas of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the UN Economic and Social Council
(ECOSOC) and other UN bodies and forums in light of achieving SDGs Pledge
Delivery on 18 March 2019. The co-facilitators for these intergovernmental
consultations have issued a preparatory note with guiding questions for
discussion providing the background and context of the
coherence process, including an annex summarizing conclusions from the
2016-2018 consultation sessions. These documents provide evidence that
answering SDGs How Questions has been re-occurring decimal before the SDGs were
agreed by World Leaders in September 2015 up to end 1st Quarter 2019
Year 4 of Implementation.
As long as the co-facilitators do not know why SDGs How Questions had
been avoided or evaded over the years, they will not know how to pilot the Global Consultation in ways that ensure its Outcome Document Conclusions
and Recommendations indeed deliver Coherence between UNGA, EOSO and other UNO/UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WO Bodies and Forums and in ways that better support
Re-engineering UNO/UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO to meaningfully help all
193/306 UN Member States get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge
in 11 ¾ years remaining to end 2030 target date.
Way
Forward
We have consistently
submitted that Finding Correct
Answer to SDG Pledge How Questions, Fully Implementing these Answers with
effective Monitoring and Evaluation of this Implementation Demands:-
1. Comprehensive or Holistic Approach that is All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Goals
Framework, Means Framework and Effectiveness Framework as One;
2. Operationnalizing (1)
in Practice would achieve Best Results within Overarching Quality, Productivity and Empowerment Improvement Program that is a
Re-Engineering Program or Reform Program.
3. Operationnalizing (2)
in Practice would achieve Best Results if the Organization / Government / UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entity Highest
Political Authority Fully Support the Re-Engineering Program or Reform
Program
4. Operationnalizing (3)
in Practice would achieve Best Results if the Organization / Government / UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entity Internal and External Publics are guided by Community to Global External Coordinating
Consultants with Minimum Certain Levels of Hard Competencies: Learning and
Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage, Cultural, Discipline, Mindset
and Leadership as One Support Framework.
We have further submitted that there is a Triangular Relationship between the 3
Reports on 3 Basic SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 Issues, expected to be released
soon: UNEMG One Worldwide / Universal Approach; GPEDC Evidence Based Innovative Sustainable Solutions and
UNDESA/UNDSDG Multi Stakeholders Partnerships / Platforms, MSPs Support. The 3
Reports are Interrelated, Interconnected, Interdependent and Interlinked and
that it is Fail in Implementing One SDGs
Pledge Delivery by 2030 Basic Issue, Fail in Implementing the remaining 2 SDGs
Pledge Delivery by 2030 Basic Issues.
Therefore: the MSPs Support Report Conclusions and Recommendations need to support MSPs Backbone MSP that effectively connect each MSP in each Community, in
each Country, in each Continent and
Globally with the UNO Headquarters New York, WBG and IMF Headquarters
Washington and WTO (ITO) Headquarters regardless of whether the MSP is focused
on single target in single SDG Goal in single Community in single Country –
Smallest MSP or focused on all 169 Targets of all 17 Goals of the SDGs in all
Communities, in all Countries in all Continents and Globally – Biggest MSP.
Without this Backbone MSP fundamental issues of Policy, Program, Project
Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training as
One: Coherence, Coordination, Collaboration, Cooperation and Commitment for
Sustainable Development – 3PIs/3PIsTaO -
5CSD as applicable in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country,
Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context cannot be effectively
addressed either within single target in single SDG Goal in single Community in
single Country or all 169 Targets of all 17 Goals of the SDGs in all
Communities, in all Countries in all Continents and Globally or anywhere in
between.
The New Model Approach Version 2 Report Conclusions and Recommendations needs to
distinguish between One Cap Fit All
that is undesirable and unhelpful and One
Worldwide Common, Systemic and Shared Approach; between Legally Binding
Agreement on Single Multi Stakeholder Approach and Voluntary Option Agreement
wherein different Stakeholders use different Approaches some or many of which
are divergent. It also needs to provide for the identified 9 Complimentary
Approaches.
The Evidence Based Innovative Sustainable Solutions Report Conclusions and Recommendations need to demonstrate clearly that without speedily adopting One
Worldwide/Universal Approach as well as supporting Backbone MSP that is Politically relevant in each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location
context 193/306 UN Member States will be unable
to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in less than 12 years remaining to end
2030 target date.
It is
against this background that we suggest as way forward, Action Kick Starting
the 3 Step Action begin by UNDSDG, OISCSD, DPIDG, DISD Jointly Making Call for
Expression of Interest in MSPs for SDGs Sustainable Solutions Pilot Program and
Scale Up Program Invitation to:-
1.
Other UNO Entities and
other UN System Entities
2.
193/306 UN Member
States Governments: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels.
We urge
National and World Leaders to note that Kick Starting the 3 Step Action is not
exclusive to UNDESA Divisions. Global Political Groupings of Countries, e.g.
GPEDC, OECD and or any Regional/Continental Political Grouping of Countries,
e.g. ACBF/MfDR/AfCOP; Coalition of Powerful North and South Countries and Coalition
of Influential North and South Countries Universities, who are willing and able
could also Kick Start the 3 Step Action.
For Best Results we recommend that UN
System Entities or other Entities that seek to embark upon the 3 Step Action,
first select Global Coordinating External Consultant with demonstrated Hard Competencies:
Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage, Cultural,
Discipline, Mindset and Leadership to effectively support them and their
Partners in the work towards achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in the less than
12 years remaining to end 2030 target date.
Conclusion
As SDGs and Climate Change Conference
hold in about 2 weeks, it is our hope that the UNEMG New Model Approach Version
2 Report 2019 and GPEDC Evidence Based Innovative Sustainable Solutions Report
2019 and UNDESA/UNDSDG New Partnership Support Strategy Interim Report 2019 are
released; that the SDGs and Climate Change Conference connect 5 Global Agendas
not 2 Global Agendas and that the SDGs and Climate Change Conference outcome
indeed mark turning point in work towards getting all 193/306 UN Member States
back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge by end 2030 target date.
We urge UNDESA and its 10 Divisions; UN
Environment and UNEP; FAO, IFAD, WPO; UNDP; WHO, UNESCO; ILO’ other UNO
Entities; ECOSOC and its
Subsidiary Bodies; other UN System: WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities; Global/ Continental Political Groupings; Coalition of UN Member
States and Coalition of
Universities to genuinely appreciate that they individually
and jointly need to face new direction
and adopt new priorities, if entire UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) are
to be effectively Re-engineered to
better support all 193/306 UN Member States to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in less than 12
years remaining to end 2030 target date; and that the Institutional
Architecture for the required re-engineering is best designed and delivered
within the type of Analysis; Pilot Program and Scale Up Program and Feeding Back Lessons Learned
into Pilot Program and Scale Up Program as One Universal Framework we have
proposed.
[
We
urge the National Leaders and World Leaders to genuinely appreciate that our Fragile Planet is at Risk of Peril, if
urgent Remedial Action is not taken on time. The Ball is now in the Court
of National Leaders and World Leaders – Will they Play or Will they Keep
Looking On as the World accelerate on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road
to DOOM or will they DO the NEEDFUL and
HELP all 193/306 UN Member States to speedily return to 2014 Cross Road and
start accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM?
It is our hope that
opportunity for bright prospects of success would not be lost. To avoid this
answer to HOW questions within Pilot Program and Scale Up Program need to start
without delay.
