Introduction
The handling of the COVID
19 Crisis is getting more challenging in all North and South Countries. If the
War on COVID 19 is to be Won in US, Europe and rest of the World and in ways
that help all 193 UN Member States get back On Track to get DONE the much that
remain to be DONE if they are to achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery in the less than
11 years remaining to end 2030 target date, the time is now for National and
Global Leaders to pause, genuinely reflect on progress made thus far and
jointly determine what next in Global Interest.
In
Paper (1), we set out EAG Thoughts on HOW to Fight and Win CONVID 19 in the
2020s by Building Bridge between Lessons Learning and Lessons Forgetting, that
is actually Learning Lessons from Past Global Public Health Emergencies to Find
Sustainable Solutions to CONVID 19.
In
Paper (2), we are elaborated on these New Ideas, as CONVID 19 Devastation keep
getting worse and it is in Urgent Global Interest that World Leaders Change Course
without Delay.
In
Paper (3), we underlining the role of Communication for Change, Development and
Environment Fit for the 21st Century in Fighting
and Winning War on CONVID 19 in US, Europe and rest of the World Linked to
getting DONE the much that remain to be DONE, if all 193 UN Member States are
to get back On Track to achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery in the less than 11 years
remaining to end 2030 target date.
In Paper (4), we underlined urgent need for National, Regional and Global Central
Coordination of COVID 19 Response that Work linked to achieving SDGs Pledge
Delivery by 2030, if our World is to avoid looming Ultimate Catastrophic Consequences
of Failure to Fight and win War on COVID 19 linked to achieving SDGs Pledge
Delivery by 2030 in US, Europe and rest of the World.
In
this Paper (5), we seek to draw attention of World Leaders to the urgent need
to meaningfully address fundamental issues of understanding their differences
and correctly interpreting their languages, if All Arms of All Tiers of Governments
in US, Europe and rest of the World; U System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO Headquarters,
Regional Offices and Country Offices and their National and International
Partners are to Work Together to Succeed Together in Fighting and Winning War
on COVID 19 liked to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery in the less than
11 years remaining to end 2030 target date.
International
Governance of Global Health Pandemics
If
World Leaders fail to Learn Lessons of History, our World is DOOMED to keep
repeating Mistakes of History.
The
American Society of International Law, in a 23 March 2020 Paper by Anastasia
Telestesky, in a Paper titled “International Governance of Global Health
Pandemics traced World Leaders attempt at Fighting Global Health Pandemics form
1834 to date.
In
the Paper it is interesting that:-
1. In 1834 World Leaders were
concerned with disastrous hindrances to international commerce that Global
Health Pandemics cause;
2. Over the years to date, Negotiating international
agreements around disease was difficult with Parties disagreeing about the
nature of disease;
3. The World Health Organization began operation in 1948 and
introduced better practices in international coordination around pandemics that
are still being developed today as US, Europe and rest of the World react to novel health threats;
4. In 1969, building on the International Sanitary Regulations,
countries adopted the "International Health Regulations" (IHR) requiring that WHO be
notified whenever cases of cholera, plague, yellow fever, smallpox, relapsing
fever, and typhus occurred within their territory;
5. Appealing to the object and purpose of the International
Health Regulations, the WHO has continued to remind countries of the need for
proportionality in applying measures that are "restricted to public health
risks, and which avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and
trade" and
6. Travel bans have been, and continue to be, imposed that are
questioned by public health law experts.
The United Nations, UN Chronicle in a Paper on National Security
and Pandemics by Sara Davis addressed many of the issues raised b ASIL from
National Security dimension. The Paper, undated was written before World
Leaders agreed the SDG, so it is at least 4 years old.
In
the Paper it is interesting that:-
1. Beyond the debilitating, sometimes
fatal, consequences for those directly affected, pandemics have a range of
negative social, economic and political consequences. These tend to be greater
where the pandemic is a novel pathogen, has a high mortality and/or
hospitalization rate and is easily spread.
2. The association of pandemics with
national security threat grew to prominence in the1990s. In 1995, the World
Health Assembly (WHA) agreed to revise the International Health Regulations
(IHR), the only international legal framework governing how WHO and its member
States should respond to infectious disease outbreaks, on the grounds that
revision was needed to take “effective account of the threat posed by the
international spread of new and re-emerging diseases”.
3. In 2005, the IHR revisions were adopted
as WHA Resolution 58.3. Article 2 announced that the scope and
purpose of the instrument was “to prevent, protect against, control and provide
a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that
are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks”.
4. Since its entry into force in 2007,
signatory States have been working, individually and collectively, to meet
their core capacity requirements under the new framework.
5. n December 2012, the General Assembly
reinforced the link between security and universality in calling for member
States to “recognize the links between the promotion of universal health
coverage and other foreign policy issues, such as the social dimension of
globalization, cohesion and stability, inclusive and equitable growth and
sustainable development and sustainability of national financing mechanisms,
and the importance of universal coverage in national health systems”.
Had
US, Europe and rest of the World implemented the IHR from 2007 to date,
reinforced by the 2012 UNGA Declaration, will there be the level of Confusion, COVID 19 is causing in
US, Europe and rest of the World today?
Big Questions
If
US, Europe and rest of the World are to Fight and Win War on COVID 19 linked to
achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030, these 4 How Questions need to be
urgently answered:-
1. How to Coordinate Global Response
to Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to getting DONE the much that
remain to be DONE if US, Europe and rest of the World are to achieve SDGs
Pledge Delivery in the less than 11 years remaining to end 2030 target date?
2. How to Align and Harmonize
Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to getting DONE the much that
remain to be DONE if US, Europe and rest of the World with accelerating
Sustainable Development in US, Europe and rest of the World to achieve National
Goals and Global Goals by target date?
3. How to Rethink Fighting and
Winning War on COVID 19 linked to getting DONE the much that remain to be DONE
if US, Europe and rest of the World: Policy, Program, Project Interventions,
3PIs and 3PIs Training as One as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context?
4. How to Improve Quality,
Productivity and Empowerment in each Entity in each Arm of each Tier of
Government in US, all European Countries and all remaining Countries in our
World today that is Government: Services – Health; Education; Food, Nutrition,
Agriculture; Security; Transportation; Housing, Communication etc and Systems –
Political, Cultural, Economic, Financial, Social, Religious etc to better
support the Organization, Orientation and Discipline of Citizens to be the
MOVING Force Driving National and International Development Cooperation
Radical/Fundamental and Rapid/Fast Change Driving Transformation of US, Europe
and rest of the World Societies as they Jointly Fight and Win War on COVID 19
linked to getting DONE the much that remain to be DONE if US, Europe and rest
of the World are to achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery in the less than 11 years
remaining to end 2030 target date using Single: Research, Planning, Data/Statistics;
Implementation; Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, Results; Ownership,
Alignment, Harmony; Transparency, Accountability, Participation; Leadership and
Measuring Success as One Framework as applicable or appropriate in each
specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context?
Central Coordination
of Global Response
In
view of realities on the ground, it is now clear that Central Coordination of
Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to getting DONE the much that
remain to be DONE if US, Europe and rest of the World are to achieve SDGs
Pledge Delivery in the less than 11 years remaining to end 2030 target date
DEMAND:-
1. A Single Community Based/ One
Planet/One World Public Health/Health ad Well being Approach Interrelated,
Interlinked, Interdependent, Interconnected and Interdependent with One World
Agenda; One World Communication; One World Education; One World Development
Finance; One World Science, One World Technology, One World Innovation, One
World Food and Nutrition, One World Agriculture, One World Security, One World
Evaluation; One World Reform and One World Public Sector etc as One Approach
that is essentially Whole of World Approach, Whole of Government Approach,
Whole of Society Approach, Whole of Bank Approach, Whole of UN System Approach
etc using
2. Correct Diagnosis, Correct
Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management Frameworks within
3. Single: Research, Planning,
Data/Statistics; Implementation; Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, Results;
Ownership, Alignment, Harmony; Transparency, Accountability, Participation;
Leadership and Measuring Success as One Framework as applicable or appropriate
in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context.
The
Institutional Architecture that effectively support above Approaches and
Frameworks from Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global level is missing and this explain why the Information, Research,
Knowledge, Innovation and Ambition Gaps responsible for increasing divergence
between National and Global Sustainable Development Goals Intention and Reality
was not filed in the past, is not being filled now and with Business as Usual
and remaining Old Paradigms will not be filled in the future, with Ultimate Catastrophic Consequences for our Fragile Planet. That is
the Bad News.
The
Good News is that Know How exist and is available to National and World Leaders
to Build this required Institutional Architecture that effectively support above
Approaches and Frameworks from Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent
and Global level and in ways that effectively fill the Information, Research,
Knowledge, Innovation and Ambition Gaps for assuring increasing convergence between National and Global Sustainable
Development Goals Intention and Reality now and in the future with Business
Unusual and remaining New Paradigms thus ensuring US, Europe and rest of the
World Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19
linked to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and
Protect Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World.
WBG/IMF Virtual
Spring Meeting 17 – 19 April 2020
This
Virtual Meeting cannot afford to be Business as Usual. The Meeting for its
outcome to contribute meaningfully towards helping US, Europe and rest of the
World Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19
linked to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World, MUST answer above 4 How
Questions and in ways that ensure WBG/IMF Deliver on their Statutory
Responsibilities as UN Systems Entities, to US, Europe and rest of the World.
High Level
Political Forum, HLPF, April 2020
There
is urgent need for US, all Countries in Europe (Region/Continent), not just EU Countries
(Sub-Region/Sub-Continent) and all remaining Countries in the World to answer
above 4 How Questions and in ways that ensure US System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO
Entities Deliver on their Statutory Responsibilities on one hand and all
Entities in all Arms of all Tiers of Government in US, Europe and rest of the
World Deliver on their Statutory Responsibilities on the other hand.
This
Demand all North and South Countries
Design and Deliver New National Development Vision and New International
Development Vision that Help US, Europe and rest of the World Work
Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to
achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World.
To
meaningfully address these fundamental issues there is urgent need for a Powerful
North Country to be Global Leader deploying its Power as Convener, Catalyst, Cultivator
and Collaborator or a Group of Powerful North and South Countries to be Co-
Global Leaders jointly deploying their Power as Convener, Catalyst, Cultivator
and Collaborator to Convene a High Level Political Forum, that is a Virtual
Global Meeting deploying the best technical and political process discussions for
reaching agreement on ways and means US, Europe and rest of the World
Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked
to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World.
Understanding
Differences and Interpreting Languages
National and Global Leaders and their
Followers need to Understand their Differences not Forget their Differences, if
US, Europe and rest of the World
Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked
to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World. This Demand Live and Let
Live to ensure No One is Left Behind achieving National and Global Goals.
National and Global Leaders and their
Followers need to Understand each other’s Language, if US, Europe and rest of
the World Work
Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to
achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World. This Demand Interpreters who
are Neutral in helping National and Global Stakeholder effectively put National and Global Interest
above Personal and Special Interest on one hand and who know that Go in one
language could mean Stop with direct interpretation in another language,
whereas the correct interpretation would also be Go. That is, many of the Conflicts
in Nations and Globally today, could be avoided if there is correct interpretation
of languages of different National and Global Stakeholders by knowledgeable and
neutral interpreters.
The point being made is that Design and
Delivery of Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 Linked to achieving SDGs
Pledge Delivery in US, Europe and rest of the World by 2030, within the type of
Central Coordination of Global Response to COVID 19 ad Global Response
to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 described in this Paper greatly
depends on National and Global Leaders understating their Differences and Understanding
each other’s Language. To achieve this National
and Global Leaders need help.
UN System Reports
The WBG World Development Report, WDR
2014 on Risk Management, has a background paper on Pandemic Risk
https://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/document/HDN/Health/WDR14_bp_Pandemic_Risk_Jonas.pdf
The Paper identified need for “A community-based One Health approach is essential
for reducing the risks to people that emerge at the interfaces between animals,
humans, and ecosystems”. Had the recommendations in this Paper been fully
implemented in US, Europe and rest of the World in past 6 years, will COVID 19 Challenge be the Disaster that it is today in US, Europe and
World?
It is pertinent to note that each WBG WDR
released annually address specific Worldwide Theme, for example: WDR 2004 – Public
Sector Management, PSM; 2008 – Agriculture; 2014 – Risk Management; 2015 –
Attitudinal Change; 2016 – Digitization; 2017 – Governance. Had the recommendations in all these WDRs been
fully implemented in US, Europe and rest of the World in past 16 years, will COVID 19 Challenge be the Disaster that it is today in US, Europe and
World?
In 2011 WBG organized Global Consultation
on New PSM. It was during this Global Consultation that Lanre Rotimi put
forward ideas of Correct Diagnosis and Whole of Bank Approach, for the first
time. These ideas were adopted by WBG as outcome of the Global Consultation and
WBG has been using the ideas since then. We have no problem with this. However,
the fact that WBG is unable to implement the ideas underline EAG submission
that WBG and other UN Entities harvesting ideas from Global Consultations, will
be unable to implement these ideas without meaningfully involving Original
Ideas Creators.
http://siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTPUBLICSECTORANDGOVERNANCE/Resources/286304-1286388782250/7457546-1303330758812/COMPLETE.pdf PSM Whole of Bank Approach / Diagnosis
Approach created by LR during PSM consultation 2011 – evidence
http://blogs.worldbank.org/governance/the-world-bank-and-public-sector-management-three-big-questions-we-can-all-disagree-on
Evidence LR Original contribution of Whole of Bank Approach / Diagnosis
Approach during PSM consultation 2011
In 2014, WBG Celebrated 10 years of PSM. Yet
in past 16/6 years, PSM/New PSM remain essentially Business as Usual. This is because
if the Business Unusual PSM/ New PSM Ideas had been fully implemented with effective
monitoring and evaluation of this implementation in US, Europe and rest of the
World, then US, Europe and rest of the World will be On Track achieving SDGs Pledge
Delivery by 2030; the WHA IHRs issued over the years would have been fully
implemented in US, Europe and rest of the World, with effective monitoring and
evaluation of this implementation by the Public Sector in US, Europe and rest
of the World. The result will be that COVID 19 Challenge be the Disaster that
it is today in US, Europe and World.
The UNDESA World Public Sector Report,
WPSR 2018, was intended to be released in 2017 but had to be fundamentally
re-written and released in 2018. Lanre Rotimi is listed as one of Contributing
Individuals. Some of EAG Ideas processed into WPSR 2018 include Whole of Society
Approach, Whole of Agenda Approach, Whole of Government Approach. However, in excluding
Correct Diagnosis, Correct
Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management Frameworks as
well as the Original Ideas Creators, UNDESA is unable to implement WPSR 2018. The
result is that WPSR 2018 is Good Ideas Not Implemented and this is part of the
reasons why COVID 19 Challenge
is the Disaster that it is today in US, Europe and World.
Scope of COVID 19 and SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 Challenge
UN Member States
The differences between Countries with
regard to Human Population; Land Mass; National Wealth; Higher Education; Ethnic
Diversity and Human Behavior etc Matters, if US, Europe and rest of the World Work Together to Succeed
Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to achieving SDGs Pledge
Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect Greater America, Greater
Europe and Greater World.
To
put China with about 1.5 Billion People and India with about 1.3 Billion People
of about 8.0 Billion People in our World today, on the same level with US with
about 330 Million People and Nigeria with about 200 Million People, is Bad.
To
put China, India, US and Nigeria on the same level with North and South Countries
with Population below 10 Million and North and South Countries with Population
below 5 Million, is Worse.
To put Countries like Russia and US whose Land Mass equal
Whole Continents with Countries like China and India whose Land Mass equal
Whole Sub-Continents, is Bad.
To
put Countries like Russia, US, China and India on the same level with North and
South Countries whose Land Mass could be transversed in 1 hour Flight or less and
North and South Countries whose Land Mass could be transverse in 3 hours or
less Care Travel, is Worse.
The same goes for National Wealth – High,
Middle and Low; Ethnic Diversity – High, Medium, Low; Human Behavior - Collective
Action, Centre, Individual Action.
All of these fundamental issues need to
be meaningfully addressed within Humans as X Factor, if US, Europe and rest of
the World Work
Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning War on COVID 19 linked to
achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 and in ways that Promote and Protect
Greater America, Greater Europe and Greater World.
Conclusion
The
time is now for National and World Leaders to genuinely appreciate that
Technical Solutions to COVID 19 without Political Solutions amount to No Issue or is No Issue;
that should they provide Political Solutions to National, Regional and Global
Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions, all remaining Economic, Financial,
Social, Security, Communication, Religions etc Solutions as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent
and Global/Planet location context would emerge and that they need to
Work Together to Succeed Together;
that they need to adopt One Worldwide Approach including Whole of Agenda, Whole
of Society, Whole of UN, Whole of Government etc.
We urge
Presidents/Heads of Government in any Powerful North or South Country genuinely
interested to take all necessary measures to Fight and Win War on CONVID 19
Linked to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 to take up the Challenge of Hosting the suggested HLPF, to please
contact us on email below to discuss action next Steps in their Country and
Global Interest.
There are bright
prospects of success should World Leaders ensure that the HLPF to find Integrated Innovative
Sustainable Solutions hold as suggested. However, there are Ultimate Catastrophic Consequences should
it be Business as Usual and the HLPF not
be convened and on Time.
It is our hope that opportunity for bright prospects of success
would not be lost.
