Speech (2)
Strengthening UN System to Better Contribute Towards Rethinking
War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger,
Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts;
War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and Task to Achieve SDGs in
All Countries by 2030 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet
Foreword
“We MUST Learn to Live
Together as Brothers or PERISH Together as FOOLS”.
Martin Luther King Jr
It will be recalled that H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress made a Great Speech at Nelson Mandela Annual
Lecture, 18 July 2020, NMAL2020 and H.E. UNECOSOC President Ambassador
Munir Akram at his Presidency Inaugural
Speech set out a 3 Point Agenda – COVID-19, SDGs and Climate Change Action as
One.
These Two Important Statements from Top Serving Leaders of the UNO
Inspired Hope that the UNO is this Time INDEED
Ready to Kick Start National and International Development Cooperation Radical/Fundamental
and Rapid/Fast Change at Minimum Certain Levels required to:-
1. Fight and Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes;
War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice ad
Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and
2. GET DONE the Task that MUST BE
DONE, if all 193 UN Member States are to Achieve SDGs – World Transformation Agenda and related Global Goals: AAAA –
Finance for Development Dimension of SDGs; COP21 – Climate Change Action
Dimension of SDGs; Agenda 21 Rio and Rio+20 – Environment and Development
Dimension of SDGs and NIEO – New International Economic Order - Political Economy Dimension of SDGs by 2030
in Ways that Make UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO, UNWTO Fit for 21st Century and On Time to avoid
Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet and PRESS FORWARD to achieve Global
Goals 2050 in Ways that Make UN System:
UNO, WBG, IMF WTO, UNWTO Fit for 22nd Century.
Alas, the Hope has been Shattered as:
1. H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress has
demonstrated that he is more interested in Words, Wishes, Slogan and Rhetoric
than in Providing Effective Leadership to UNO and Indeed rest of UN System:
WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO in the Great Task of Tackling the 2 Statements
Implementation Challenge for Results and On Time to Save our Fragile Planet
from Imminent Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure
to Win War on COVID-19, Failure to Win remaining Wars and Failure to achieve
the 5 Global Goals by 2030 and
2. H.E. UNECOSOC President
Ambassador Munir Akram has gone completely Silent in the Public Arena, at a
Time he should be in the Forefront Piloting New Airways, Charting New Waterways
and Breaking New Grounds as UNECOSOC contribute its Quota in the Great Task of
Tackling the 2 Statements Implementation Challenge as applicable or appropriate
in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context.
Yet, there is much a Strengthened, Empowered and Reinforced UN System could effectively
contribute towards meaningfully addressing all FUNDAMENTAL Issues at Stake – Looming PERISHING of our Fragile
Planet – People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and
Planet Dying 3rd.
Should UN, Governments,
Businesses, Academia, other Major Groups and other Stakeholders continue with
Parroting Business as Usual is Obsolete and Unprecedented Global Response to
Unprecedented Global COVID-19 Crisis while continuing to practice Business as
Usual and Grossly Impotent Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented
Global COVID-19 Crisis, the Imminent Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences
of Failure to Win War on COVID-19, Failure to Win related Wars and Failure to
achieve All 5 Global Goals in barely 10 years remaining to end 2030 target date,
is Guaranteed.
It is against this background that we wish to share our thoughts on Priorities and
Direction Moving Forward in URGENT Global Interest.
COVID-19 is a Big Challenge to Individuals, Institutions
and Governments
Our World is at Cross Roads: Choice World
leaders on UN, Governments, Business, Academia, other Major Groups and other
Stakeholders Make in the Days and Months ahead Determine the Type of World We have in the Future – at One Extreme
Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better within Winning War on COVID-19
and achieving SDGs by 2030 in All 193 UN Member States and at the Other Extreme
People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd.
We will keep doing our
part as we work towards a New World where New Normal tends to the Former or
Good Extreme.
UN System Fit for 21st Century – Master Key
If our World is to Overcome current and future Global Challenges, One of the Master Keys is
entire UN
System Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices
and Country Offices Reformed to be Fit
for 21st Century and in ways that ensure UN System Entities:
Individually and Jointly effectively
Help Governments, Business, Academia, other Major Groups and other
Stakeholders, within each UN
System Entity’s Vision and Mission in the Great
National and Global Task of Design and Delivery of Unprecedented National
and Global Response to Unprecedented National and Global Crises that Work to
Save our Fragile Planet from Perishing.
As long as Leaders on UN, Governments,
Business, Academia and other Major Stakeholder Groups keep Deliberately Refusing to Work Together to Succeed Together
Fighting and Winning: War on COVID-19, War on Climate Change Mistakes, War on
Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts, War on Corruption, Indiscipline and
Impunity linked with achieving Global Goals 2030 and 2050 in all 193 UN Member
States; then imminent Global Colossal Catastrophe
is Guaranteed Matter.
We have No Power or Intention to
Force entire
UN System Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices
and Country Offices Reformed to be Fit
for 21st Century that can effectively Help UN, Governments,
Business, Academia, other Major Groups, to AGREE to Collaborate with
EAG.
We wait to see HOW America,
Europe and World could Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War
on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts
and War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity Linked to achieving SDGs in
barely 10 years remaining to end 2030 target date, in all 193 UN Member States
through Working Together to Succeed Together with their National and
International Partners including Media and in Ways that Leave No One Behind,
linked with Making UN System Fit for 21st Century Now and Fit for 22nd
Century by UN150 without Shared Vision,
Common Approach, Joint Ownership, Joint Implementation and Joint Evacuation
between UNSG Antonio Guteress and Leaders on UN, Governments, Business,
Academia and other Major Stakeholder Groups including Media sides, without All Inclusive, All Embracing and
Ambitious One Worldwide Approach and Frameworks such as those Developed by
EAG.
UN System Fit for 21st Century Driving National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions that
Work for World’s 5 Billion Poor
The required National and Global Integrated
Innovative Sustainable Solutions cannot be found to National and Global
Challenges without Urgent Reforms that Work to make entire UN System
Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices and
Country Offices Fit for 21st Century.
It is entire
UN System Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices
and Country Offices Reformed to be Fit
for 21st Century that can meaningfully
provide a universal language for
corporate responsibility and provide a framework to guide All Businesses
regardless of Type – Enterprise or Social Enterprise – especially Cooperatives;
Size, Complexity or Location towards meaningfully
contributing their Quota towards
Effective Mobilization a Viable Global Movement of Sustainable
Enterprises/Social Enterprises and Stakeholders to Create the World We NEED;
to End Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; End Inequality, Injustice and
Conflicts; End Climate Change Mistakes; End Corruption, Indiscipline and
Impunity and Achieve all 5 Global Goals in barely 10 years remaining to End
2030 target date.
It is entire
UN System Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices
and Country Offices Reformed to be Fit
for 21st Century that can effectively
bring together UN, Governments, Business, Academia, other Major Groups and
other Stakeholders within Shared Vision, Common Approach, Joint Ownership,
Joint Implementation and Joint Evaluation to Mobilize On Time, the over US$ 700
Trillion Investment needed to Fight and Win War on COVID-19, other Wars
linked to achieving SDGs Pledge Delivery in all193 UN Member States in the
barely 10 years remaining to end 2030 target date.
It is entire UN System Membership:
UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices and Country Offices
Reformed to be Fit for 21st Century that can effectively Help UN, Governments, Business, Academia, other Major
Groups answer important questions such as:-
1.
How
do you get started?
2. How
do you effectively Communicate your Sustainability Governance; Sustainable
Development; Development Cooperation; Systems Reform etc Story?
3. How
do you meet your Sustainability Governance; Sustainable Development; Development
Cooperation; Systems Reform etc Objectives and Achieve Medium Term and Long-Term
Sustainable Growth?
4.
How
do you turn Present and Future Risks
into Business Opportunities; set and achieve Ambitious Targets as your
Enterprise/Social Enterprise’s Contribution to Winning War on COVID-19, related
Wars linked to achieving 5 Global Goals within your Enterprise/Social
Enterprise’s Vision and Mission and in Ways that effectively and efficiently
addresses Mounting Expectations from: Customers, Employees and Investors; the
ever-growing Sustainability Ecosystem within the available limited Resources –
Human Capital with relevant Hard and Soft Competencies; Physical Capital, the
Physical Assets including Technology; Financial Capital – Grant, Loan, Equity
and Network Capital the Multi Stakeholder and Multi Disciplinary Partnerships,
Platforms and Networks and in ways that effectively Empower your Enterprise /
Social Enterprise / Government Entity / UN Entity to overcome the complex,
chaotic and challenging Issues, Services, Systems that must be grappled with to
achieve Sustainable Success?
5. How can Challenges to and Opportunities for Policy Integration – Policy Cohesion, Policy Coordination, Policy
Cooperation and Policy Collaboration, at different stages of Policy Cycle
as One at the National and Global level, from the Institutional Perspective be
effectively tackled?
6. How can Institutional and Administrative arrangements that foster Integrated Approaches: Common Agreement on
Approach, Research, Implementation, Monitoring,, Evaluation, Learning, Results,
Measuring Success, to the 2030 Agenda, all 5 Global Goals be designed and
delivered at the national and global level and On Time to achieve SDGs and
remaining 4 Global Goals in barely 10 years remaining to end 2030 target date?
7. How can Challenges and
Opportunities for Public Institutions and
Public Administration to deliver Integrated Approaches (6) in different SDG or
Groups of closely related SDGs (nexus areas), at the national and global
level be effectively tackled and addressed?
Note: National level include Sub-National and
Community level and Global level include the Sub-Regional and Regional levels.
As long as UN
and Governments are in Repeat ERROR Default Mode as Re-occurring Decimal, UN
and Governments will keep omitting Step
1 – Common Agreement by all National and Global Stakeholders on How What they
have Agreed to DO will be DONE and keep Working
HARDer at Step 2 DOING what they have Agreed to DO in Silos and many times Contradicting each other with Solutions that Create
Worse Problems than the Solutions were intended to Solve. This will
ultimately Guarantee Global Colossal Catastrophe
The above How Questions MUST be Answered if UN
and Governments are to Go Back to Basics
in Step 1 before returning to Step 2 this Time Working Together to Succeed
Together and in SMARTer Ways that INDEED Leave No One Behind. This will
help Win War on COVID-19, Win related Wars, and Achieve 5 Global Goals by target
date.
Technical and
Political Process Dialogue Yet to Start
It is clear that as at End July in 2nd Half 2020 Year 5 of SDGs
Implementation, the Technical and Political Process Dialogue required to meaningfully support finding Correct
Answers to above 7 Big Questions on UN, Governments, Business, Academia,
other Major Groups and other Stakeholders sides, have not started which is Bad.
It is clear that Serving Leaders on UN and
Governments sides are avoiding or
evading kick starting this important Technical and Political Process Dialogue
despite being in the Know that without
this Important Technical and Political Process Dialogue our World will Fail
to Win War on COVID19, Fail to Win related Wars, Fail to achieve SDGs and Fail
to achieve remaining 4 Global Goals by 2030; that these Multiple Failures
Guarantee Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences and at its extreme
Resulting in People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and
Planet Dying 3rd on One hand and on the other Hand many of these
Leaders are aware of at least One set of National and Global Integrated
Innovative Sustainable Solutions that is sufficiently All Inclusive, All
Embracing and Ambitious to Save Our Fragile Planet from Imminent Guaranteed Perishing
but Choose to Ignore, Avoid or Evade Supporting
its Implementation which is Worse.
It is clear that UN and Governments need to Create DEMAND for National and Global
Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to National and Global Challenges
and Business, Academia and Consultants Create
SUPPLY of National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to
National and Global Challenges and that Matching
DEMAND with SUPPLY Greatly Depends on Speedily Re-Establishing Exiting
Institutions and Establishing New Institutions with the FULL Involvement of All People who through their Unadulterated
Struggle and Genuine Commitment Use their God Given Talents to Meaningfully
Seek True Peace and Prosperity for All Peoples in our Fragile Planet through
Partnerships for Equality, Justice and Dignity as applicable or appropriate in
each specific Community, Sub-County, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global / Planet location context.
National and
Global Integrated Innovative Actions for Results
Our experience
is that TCFD, PCCB, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNGC, UNDESA, ILO, FAO, UNIDO, UNESCO, WHO,
other UN Members and Governments North and South - Individual and Joint Implementation of relevant existing Good UN
Report’s Conclusions and Recommendations for Results and in ways that make
meaning in the daily lives of 5 Billion Poor Children, Youth, Women, Men and
Elders out of the 8.5 Billion People in our World of 2030 DEMAND Joint focus of
2030 Connect; entire UN Membership; All Countries Governments and their
National and Global Partners on Business, Academia Media etc sides on National
and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to both Climate
Related Financial Disclosures and Beyond Climate Related Financial
Disclosures real and complex issues on the ground as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country,
Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location action.
The above needs
to be done within Integrated 4 in 1 Actions:-
1. Climate Related Financial Disclosures
2. Climate Related Sustainability Actions
3. Governance Related Financial Disclosures
4. Governance Related Sustainability Actions
Within
1. Climate Related Financial Disclosures Dimension of Climate Change Action
2. Climate Change Action Dimension of SDGs, AAAA, Agenda 21 – Rio and Rio +
20 and NIEO
3. Climate Related Financial Disclosures Dimension of SDGs, AAAA, Agenda 21
– Rio and Rio + 20 and NIEO.
Noting
7 Action Steps:-
1. Financial Disclosures and Sustainability Actions are 2 Sides of the Same
Coin that is when One is Front End, the remaining 3 is Back End and vice versa.
2. Focus on 1 without focus on remaining 3 amounts to No Issue or Is No
Issue
3. Fail in 1 is Fail in remaining 3.
4. TCDF, PCCB, UNGC, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNDESA, other UN Members and Governments
North and South National and Global Recommendations Implementation that address
Technical Issues in Silos not helpful. Technical Issues and Political Discussions
as One, Issues need to be effectively addressed in Synergy.
5. TCDF, PCCB, UNGC, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNDESA, other UN Members and Governments
North and South National and Global Recommendations Implementation that focus
on Technical Process Discussions not helpful. Technical Process and Political Process Discussions as One, Issues need to be effectively addressed in Synergy.
6. TCDF, PCCB, UNGC, UNFCCC, UNEP UNDESA, other UN Members and Governments
North and South National and Global Recommendations Implementation Technical
Solutions without Political Solutions, not helpful. Once Political Solutions
that compliment Technical Solutions are found, all remaining Solutions –
Economic Solutions, Financial Solutions, Social Solutions, Security Solutions,
Environmental Solutions and all remaining Solutions will emerge.
7. There is urgent need for Central Coordination Jurisdiction with a specific UN System Entity being
saddled with Domestic and Global Response Central Coordination
Responsibility as follows:-
1. Health and Wellbeing - WHO
2. Industry and Livelihood – UNIDO
3. Food, Nutrition and Agriculture – FAO
4. Workers and Employers – ILO
5. Financial Stability and Development
– IMF
6. Finance
and Development – WBG
7. Trade and Tariff – WTO
8. Tourism and Development – UNWTO

Clock is Ticking
The Clock is Ticking, therefore Time is of the Essence.
Our World is at Cross Roads.
Do we keep accelerating on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM
or Do we Change Course and On Time to STAT accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured
Prosperity) Road to BOOM?
Right Choice Reward, Wrong
Choice Catastrophe, No Choice is Choice for Wrong Choice – Which Way will Serving Leaders on UN, Governments, Business, Academia
and other Major Group sides Choose?
It is pertinent to note that we
have since October 2019 WARNED that our World has 5 Critical Quarters: October
2019 – December 2020 to get back On Track to achieve SDGs by 2030 in All
Countries; that should 3 of 5 Critical Quarters ending 30 June 2020 be Lost,
all 5 of 5Critical Quarters would be Lost as available time will be insufficient
to Get DONE All that NEED to be DONE.
It is pertinent to note further that COVID-19 became Global Threat in 2 of 5 Critical Quarters and has been
wrecking increasing havoc and devastation to 3 of 5 Critical Quarters ending 30
June 2020 and Beyond; that this was acknowledged by extending the Final
Final Deadline to 31 July 2020; that UNDESA Events 23 April 2020, 28 May 2020
in collaboration with Governments of Canada and Jamaica, 6 – 17 July 2020; UN
Global Compact Leadership Summit Event 15-16 June 2020; ILO Global Summit 1-2
and 7-9 July 2020 were UN Events where World Leaders got to know better and the
WARNING and were urged to Change Curse On Time and in Urgent Global Interest.
We had suggested UNO/EAG HLPF that is Global Orientation Workshop
wherein World Leaders Demonstrate and show that they have Changed Course. We
kept shifting date to allow UNO schedule the Event 29-31 July 2020. As 3 ay
Event is No Longer Feasible, we could
condense the Event to 1 Day – 30 or 31 July 2020, if concerned Serving World
Leaders are genuinely interested in Changing Course on Time to avert Guaranteed
Global Catastrophe arising from Multiple FAILURES on their part.
The New Reality
The point we are making is that as Serving
World Leaders FAILED to Change Course by 31 July 2020; as from 1 August 2020 the New Reality is that:-
1.
Global Depression that makes 1930s Global
Depression Child’s Play is Certain.
2.
No Individual, Institution or Government can
predict the Depth and Length of (1).
3. At its extreme (1) would RESULT in People Dying 1st;
Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd.
The Implication of the New Reality from 1 August 2020 is that:-
1. All necessary measures should be taken before 31
July 2020 by all concerned Serving UN, Governments, Business, Academia, other
Major Stakeholder Groups Leaders to avert the Guaranteed Global Colossal
Catastrophe.
2. It is Medicine after DEATH –at Best Unprecedented
Global Depression wrecking havoc and devastation Worldwide that take 1, 2 or
more Generations to begin to REMEDY and at worst there is NO REMEDY and its
matter of When not If People Die 1st, Business Die 2nd
and Planet Die 3rd.
In Sum,
It is a Big Puzzle that our continuing
constructive engagement of relevant UNO, WBG and IMF Entities; select North and
South Governments and select Top 10 Universities in the World show that they are
FULLY Aware that they are DOING the
Wrong Thing; that this Guarantee Global Colossal Catastrophe yet they All Believe that they can and should
Change Course when or if they Choose
to do so, regardless of their being in
the Know of Ultimate Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences to our
Fragile Planet, of their REFUSAL to DO the NEEDFUL and in Urgent Global
Interest.
COVID-19 has demonstrated that it will not respect Individuals, Institutions and Governments who abuse
their position by DOING the Wrong Thing and Deliberately REFUSING to Change
Course for Reasons Best Known to them.
COVID-19 Short Window of Opportunity
to Build Back Better, Build Back Greener as all 193 UN Member States Recover
Better to achieve A New Normal that Work for 5 Billion Poor Children,
Youth, Women, Men and Elders of the 8.5 Billion People in our World of 2030 is Rapidly Closing.
Will Serving Leaders on entire
UN System Membership: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional Offices
and Country Offices Reformed to be Fit for 21st Century; Governments
– All Arms of All Tiers; Business – Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Transnational
Enterprises / Social Enterprises especially Cooperatives; Academia /Higher
Education Institutions especially Top 10, Top 100 and Top 1,000 Universities in
the World, other Major Groups and other Stakeholders keep
wishing away, ignoring, avoiding or evading DOING the Needful until our Fragile
Planet PERISH?
The Annex contains submissions to UNDESA in 2017 and 2018. Similar submissions
were made to other relevant UNO Entities as well as UN System Entities – WBG and
IMF.
Had UNDESA and other UN System Entities
Fully Implemented these Good Ideas and
Pertinent Suggestions and Following Good Ideas and Pertinent Suggestions in
Key 2020 UN Events – 23 April 2020; 28 May 2020; 15 – 16 June 2020; 1 – 2 and 7
– 9 July 2020; 6 – 17 July 2020, will
our World still be groping in the Dark looking
for War on COVID-19, related Wars linked to achieving all 5Glbal Goals by
2030 target date in all 193 UN Member States National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions that
UNDESA and other UN Entities know exist?
The Path to BOOM and DOOM is CLEAR. Present and Future Generations will
Live with Rewards of Right Choice or
Consequences of Wrong Choice made by Serving Leaders. Let these Serving
Leaders be Mindful of 3 Judgments – Judgment
of Conscience; Judgment of History and Judgment of God and they make or refuse
to make Choice on Best Way Forward to
Save our Fragile Planet from PERIHNG.
As Martin Luther King Jr Warned Many years ago; should we Fail to
Work Together as Brothers, we are DOOMED to Perish Together as FOOLS.
Our World Does not have Luxury of Time to Decide to Work Together to Succeed
Together. As No Individual, Institution or Government knows when
irreversibility point on MADning
(Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM will be Passed, 1 Day Delay in
Leaders on UN and Governments sides Changing
Course and START Righting WRONGS may be 1 Day too late to avoid Imminent Global
Colossal Catastrophe.
It is our Hope that Bright Prospects of Success will not be
Squandered.
God
Bless UN. God Bless our World.

Annex
Comment on UNDPAM WPSR Report
April 2018
Introduction
The UN Public
Administration and Development Department, UNDPAM World Public Sector
Report, WPSR, “The Report”, intended for release in December 2017 was released
April 2018. In June 2017
UNDPAM issued a Call for contributions from scientists and
researchers in the form of policy briefs – concise, factual, and open
access –that highlight issues, research findings, trends and solutions. The
Call stated that:-
1.
TThe Report will focus on the role of public
institutions and public administration for an integrated implementation of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
2.
Briefs that meet the
requirements of the Call will be posted on the
website of the 2017 (now 2018) World Public Sector Report, WPSR.
3.
nBriefs content will inform relevant chapters
of the Report and that the
aim of the policy briefs is to summarize or highlight salient findings or
arguments.
4.
BBriefs should address an issue, finding, or
research topic with a bearing on HOW
public institutions and public administration at the national and local levels,
in a broad sense, can address the challenges of integration posed by the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs.
The selected Briefs have answered What
Questions and not How Questions.
The Report has
answered 3 What Questions. However, what is most needed at this time is WPSR
that answer How Questions in (4) above and related SDG How Questions. Our Organization submitted Brief that
meaningfully addressed Sustainable
Solutions to How Questions in (4) above (see Annex below). We perceive that
this Submission contributed to 4 months delay in releasing WPSR 2018. The
Report contents includes many of the
good ideas and pertinent suggestions
set out in our unselected Brief but rejected
the most important ideas and suggestions on Ways and Means of finding correct
answers to Public Sector Management / Public Sector Reform How Questions.
This is a puzzle that UNDPAM need to resolve and as soon as possible, if the Report is not to be Motion without Movement
and Vision and Words without Action.
As long as the
Report is not speedily transformed into
Vision and Words with Action and Motion with Movement Document, its potency would be significantly eroded and its Utility
by 193/306 UN member States Governments – Executive, Legislature, Judiciary
Entities; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities as well as their
National and International Partners would be minimal. It would be a Big Shame if the Acts of Omission or Commission responsible for the Report avoiding
or evading answer to How Questions are not IMMEDIATELY Addressed by UNDPAM Authorities.
Approach to Achieving SDG in all 193/306 UN Member States
The approach to achieving the Millennium
Development Goal, MDGs on halving the number of people living on less than USD
1 a day by 2015 had some shortcomings.
Also the MDGs do not directly address
inequality problems.
It is pertinent
to note that Where poverty has been reduced successfully and sustainably,
governments used policy interventions
to facilitate [employment-centered] structural transformations of their economies.
They invested substantially in infrastructure; channelled credit to specific
productive activities; and pursued well managed industrial and agricultural
policies, as well as social policies that improved the skill levels and welfare
of the population and that Contemporary poverty reduction strategies have
increasingly focused on ‘targeting the poor’. Such approaches often fail to consider key institutional, policy and
political dimensions that may be both causes of poverty and inequality, and
obstacles to their reduction",
The Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs adopted by World Leaders in September 2015 was intended to address MDGs shortcomings. However, in 2nd Quarter 2018, Year 3 of Implementation, it is clear that MDGs shortcomings and failed approaches are being repeated. With 12 ¾ Years to go to end 2030 target date for delivery on SDGs and SDGs Pledge, it is clear that without vigorous response to remove the shortcomings driven by new approaches for achieving SDGs in all 193/306 UN Member States that Work, Delivery on SDG Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date will be Mirage. Allowed to occur, the Ultimate Consequences for our Fragile Planet would be Disastrous for Citizens in all 193/306 UN Member States. It is sad that UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities and 193/306 UN Member States Entities: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary Entities are still in MDG Mode as at 2nd Quarter 2018 Year of Implementation rather than SDG Mode.
One Worldwide Approach
We note that there are different approaches, visions, models and tools available
to each country to achieve Right to Development Vision; Public Sector Reform/
Management Vision as well as 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21 and Agenda 21
Visions, in accordance with its national circumstances and priorities as well
as its own development context. However, if there is to be continuously
improving collaboration, cooperation, cohesion and coordination in the design
and delivery of Policy, Program, Project Interventions, 3PIs and 3PIs Training
as One, a need arises for United Community to Global Visions whose
implementation and evaluation is built upon One Worldwide Approach that is a
Common and Systemic Approach for improving Ownership, Alignment, Harmony etc
that has clear Principles, Instruments / Tools corresponding to each Principle,
Practices and Database.
3PCM is an
Advance One Worldwide Approach that is sufficiently all inclusive, all
embracing and ambitious to meet the implementation as well as evaluation
demands of an all inclusive, all embracing and ambitious SDGs, that is
essentially the over-arching 2030 Global Agenda and which in reality includes
NRMAP-Ag, NRMAP, AAAA, COP21 and Agenda 21.

Brexit and SDG in Ireland
Brexit is
disaster waiting to happen, should Ireland, UK and EU Authorities keep looking
on till March 2019 as Fantasy Meet Reality. The root cause or primary cause
Brexit problems are best addressed within SDG in: Ireland, UK and each of 26 EU
Countries and EU as Institution. The Big Question is How does WPSR 2018 help these
North Countries grapple effectively with these complex problems? For Ireland,
these are the pertinent issues:-
1. If Ireland is to
meaningfully collaborate and coordinate with remaining192/305 UN Member States;
UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) and their National and International
Partners in the Joint Delivery on SDG and SDG Pledge by end 2030 target date
(about 12 ¾ years to go), Ireland needs to better appreciate and recognize that
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 and accept realization of the SDGs requires the
coordination, cohesion, cooperation, collaboration and commitment of actions of
different levels of government at levels unprecedented in World history and
this DEMAND Paradigm Shifts in reality not rhetoric.
2. If Ireland is to
meaningfully collaborate and coordinate with remaining 192/305 UN Member
States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) and their National and
International Partners in the Joint Delivery on SDG and SDG Pledge by end 2030
target date (about 12 ¾ years to go), Oreland need to genuinely omit towards
supporting all relevant Stakeholder Groups Members at each specific Community,
Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional and Global location context to
Implement and Evaluate Policy Coordination,
Cohesion, Cooperation, Collaboration and Commitment DRIVEN Simultaneously by 3 Types of Integration:-
a)
Horizontal Integration: National – All Arms in All Tiers of
Government in each of 193/306 UN Member States. That is 2 – 4 levels depending
on number of Tiers of Government in the specific UN Member State.
b) Vertical
Integration:
i)
National - All Arms in All Tiers of Government
in each of 193/306 UN Member States. That is 2 – 4 levels depending on number
of Tiers of Government in the specific UN Member State.
ii)
International - All Arms in All Tiers of
Government in each of 193/306 UN Member States in each Sub-region, Region and
Worldwide. That is 3 – 4 levels depending on number of International Political
Groupings of Countries the specific UN Member State belong to.
iii)
Integration: National and
International - All
Arms in All Tiers of Government in each of 193/306 UN Member States, in each
Sub-region, in each Region and Worldwide. That is 5 – 8 levels depending on
number of Tiers of Government in the specific UN Member State and the number of
International Political Groupings of Countries the specific UN Member State
belong to.
c)
Engagement: Full Inclusion of All relevant
Stakeholder Groups in Horizontal Integration and Vertical Integration (3bi) –
(3biii). That is all relevant Stakeholder Blocks in each Horizontal Integration
level and each Vertical Integration level, JOINTLY Driving Structures, Systems,
Policies, Procedures, Communication, Cooperatives, Cultures and Rules Changes
required to move each specific Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional
and Regional location context from where it is Now (2nd Quarter
2018) in each relevant SDGs Goals and Targets (A) to where it needs to be if
SDG Pledge is to be delivered by end 2030 in the specific location context (B)
as well as FIGURING out HOW to move from (A) to (B).
3.
SDG
What Questions have been over answered over the years to date while SDG How Questions have been avoided or
evaded. Yet without answering SDG How Questions seeking to Deliver on SDG and
SDG Pledge by end 2030 target date in all 193/306 UN Member States would be
Mirage.
4. We are not asking Ireland to go
beyond Implementation and Evaluation of SDG in Ireland and Brexit in Ireland to
be Directly involved in Implementation of answer to SDG How Questions in each
Community, Sub-national and National level in each of 193/306 UN Member States
as well as at Sub-regional, Regional and Global levels. We are asking Ireland to recognize urgent need
to:-
a)
Find
answer to SDG and SDG Pledge How
Questions is MASTER KEY to ensuring that in the 12 ¾ years remaining all
193/306 UN Member States Deliver on SDG Pledge by end 2030 target date.
b) Meaningfully Support Individuals and
Institutions
DEMONSTRATING genuine commitment to effectively Supporting 193/306 UN member
States Governments: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary at all levels; UN System:
UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Headquarters, Regional Offices and Country Offices
Entities and their National and International Partners to find answer to SDG
and SDG Pledge How Questions, Implement and Evaluate these answers in ways that
ensure all 193/306 UN member States deliver on SDG Pledge by end 2030 target
date.
c)
Appreciate that Time is of the
Essence if the Much
that Need to be Done, is to be Done in the 12 ¾ years remaining and DEMONSTRATE
this through genuine commitment to start answering SDG and SDG Pledge How
Questions Now that is as from April 2018.
While
Brexit is the Overarching Sustainable Development Issues in Ireland and EU,
Fulani Herdsmen Menace is the overarching Sustainable Development Issue in
Nigeria. To meaningfully address real and complex SDGs problems on the ground
in all North and South Countries,
above points need to be addressed in each North or South Country specific and
unique context.
Please
find link to recent Papers on our Blog, urging all concerned Authorities to
appreciate that Global PUSH to Deliver on SDG and SDG Pledge by end 2030 NEEDs
to Start NOW and not wait till 2025 or 2027.

http://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com.ng/2018/04/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and.html Reforming ECOSOC
Reforming the UN System –
UNO, WBG, IMF to be Fit for the 21st Century
The UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF Entities have Central
Role to Play if Right to Development Vision that is Integral Part of Public
Sector Reform / Management Vision; AAAA Vision, SDG Vision, COP21 Vision and
Agenda 21 Vision, is to be designed and delivered from Community to Global
levels. Records show that several UN Declarations in 2015, 2016 and 2017 have
underlined this fact. Some have specific provisions calling on UNDESA to
Re-engineer itself so as to be better placed to support UN member States many
of whom have requested UNDESA support to help them meet SDG targets inclusive
of AAAA, COP21 targets by 2030 target date.
The reality is that without appropriate help from
External and Internal Consultants with minimum certain levels of Hard Competencies: Learning and Skills and
Soft Competences: Character, Courage, Discipline and Mindset, UNDESA cannot
deliver on this responsibility and without UNDESA delivery on this
responsibility Office of Special Rapporteur on Right to Development cannot
achieve Right to Development Vision and UNDPAM cannot achieve Public Sector
Reform / Management Vision. Also UNDESA Re-engineering that is not integral
part of other UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF Entities, including OS2RD and UNDPAM
Re-engineering is not likely to achieve much in the work towards achieving the
2030 Global Agenda by target date.
We suggest Re-engineering 9 UNO Entities – OS2RD –
Right to Development; UNDP – Poverty and Governance; UNICEF – Children and
Family Welfare; WHO – Health, Lifestyle and Wellbeing; UNEP – Climate Change
and Environmental Protection; FAO – Food, Agriculture and Nutrition; ILO –
Entrepreneurship and Employment; WTO (ITO) – Commerce and Trade and UNODC –
Crime and Corruption and 9 UNO New York Headquarters Entities – UNSC, OPGA,
EOSG, UNCEB, ECOSOC, GA Committees, UNDESA, UNDPI, UNDPAM; WBG Liaison Office; IMF Liaison Office, that
is Integral Part of UN System Delivery as One, DaO Driving Transformation to
make each UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF Entity, an International Institution Fit
for the 21st Century.
SDG that Work Partnership Strategy – Master Key for Delivery on SDG
Pledge
The United Nations is working to make itself
fit-for-purpose for the 2030 Agenda. However, given the magnitude of what
remains to be done in 12 ¾ Years remaining; there is urgent need for all UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities Authorities as well as UN Member States
Governments: Executive, Legislature, Judiciary Authorities and their National
and International Partners to face New Direction and Adopt New Priorities.
Achieving the SDGs in each of 193/306 UN Member
States 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.
Achieving the SDGs in each of 193/306 UN Member
States underlines need for all concerned National and International Stakeholder Blocks to
genuinely appreciate that Monitoring and Evaluation should be seen not as an
exercise in reporting, but as an active management tool that helps adjust the
strategy along the way. A challenge that must be overcome and speedily too, is
that Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks tend to target specific policy
interventions (e.g., a single policy or the program in a particular sector),
whereas it is important to assess overall progress towards interrelated,
interconnected, interlinked and interdependent goals and targets in each
specific Community, Sub-national, National,
Sub-regional, Regional or Global, CSnNSrRG, location context.
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.
Ultimately, to fully mainstream SDG investing,
new products – finance, non finance, evaluation, non evaluation need to be
developed. The private sector and financial sector excels at innovation when
demand is there. If Government creates Demand, the Private Sector including the
Financial Sector will create supply. This will ultimately rub off on the public
sector and international institutions.
Overall, the realization of the SDGs with
Delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States be end 2030 target date
(12 ¾ Years to go) requires the coordination, cooperation, cohesion,
collaboration and commitment of actions of different levels of government. This
demands the establishment of New Partnerships and New Multi Stakeholder
Partnerships / Platforms that Work.
SDG that Work Partnership Strategy – Kick Start Mutual Collaboration
Events and Activities
The SDG that Work
Partnership Agreement is expected to be a Legal Agreement that would take some
time to negotiate and agree. However, this Partnership Agreement needs to start
immediately with Institutions that demonstrate required levels of Hard and Soft
Competencies and kick started by Mutual Collaboration Events and Activities
within 7 Pillars of Tackling WPSR 2018
Implementation Challenge:-
- Involving Actors – Stakeholder Blocks from North and South
Countries and UN Systems: UNO, WBG, IMF through Design and Delivery of
Multi Stakeholder Platforms / Partnerships, MSP for Social Justice and
Economic Growth; MSP for Sustainable Development Solutions etc
- Reinvigorating Right to Development,
Right to Participation and related UNGA and HRC Declarations in each specific CSnNSrRG level in all 193/306
UN Member States through Design and Delivery of appropriate Implementation
and Evaluation Frameworks.
- Improving National Development
Cooperation and International Development Cooperation in each specific CSnNSrRG level in all 193/306
UN Member States through Design and Delivery of appropriate Implementation
and Evaluation Frameworks.
- Firmly putting Right to Development,
Right to Participation and related UNGA and HRC Declarations in the Front Burner in both National Public
Arena and International Public Arena within Inclusive Citizens Engagement
and Inclusive Institutions in all 193/306 UN Member States through Design
and Delivery of appropriate Implementation and Evaluation Frameworks.
- Design and Delivery of Right to
Development, Right to Participation and related UNGA and HRC Declarations Community of Practise Implementation and
Evaluation Frameworks.
- Design and Delivery of Mechanisms for
Securing the Full Cooperation of UN Member
States: Executive, Parliament, Judiciary at all tiers – both North and
South Countries; UN System: UNO WBG IMF Entities at Headquarters Regional
Offices, Country Offices and Sub-national Offices; SOs/NGOs; Academics and
Researchers; Business: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Multinational
Enterprises; Consultants, Media – National and International.
- The above and other Mutual Collaboration Activities and Events would be Designed and Delivered in such a way as to ensure that all obstacles and barriers to improving systems, structures, policies, procedures, solidarity, cooperatives, communication, rules and cultures changes required to achieve increasing convergence between Right to Development Vision and 2030 Agenda Vision Intention and Reality at each specific CSnNSrRG level in all 193/306 UN Member States are effectively removed.
Conclusion
If the work towards delivery on SDG Pledge in all
193/306 UN Member States by end 2030 target date is not FLUKE, NOW is Time for
Global PUSH effectively strengthening High Flier North and South Countries to
achieve SDG by 2025 and Lagging North and South Countries to achieve SDG from
2026 to end 2nd Quarter 2030. This is the only way to ensure that in
the 12 ¾ Years remaining All Peoples in all North and South Countries achieve
all 17 Goals of the SDGs by end 2030 target date.
Should National Leaders and World Leaders in 193/306
UN Member States wait till 2025 or 2028 to start Global Push to achieved SDG by
end 2030 and in ways that deliver on SDG Pledge, it would be too late. This
fact is known now, unaddressed, the reality is delivery on SDG Pledge is dead
at birth. Should this be the case by end 2030, the ultimate consequences would
be catastrophic for citizens in both North and South Countries.
It is our hope that made in this Paper resonate
positively with UNDPAM, other UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities and
UN Member States: Executive, Parliament, Judiciary Entities.
There are Bright Prospects of Success, should Office
of Special Rapporteur on Right to Development, UNDPAM, FAO, UNDP UNDESA, EOSG,
OPGA, UNEB, UNSC, UNGA Committees, ECOSOC, UNGA as well as UN Member States –
especially Powerful North and South Countries be Individually and Collectively
genuinely committed to contributing its quota towards achieving Right to
Development Vision and 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21 Agenda 21 Vision Intention
and Reality across our World.

Public Sector Management, PSM Dimension of 2030
Transformation Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 - Tacking Community to Global
Implementation and Evaluation Challenge?
Introduction
The WPSR 20151
was on Responsive and Accountable Public Governance and coincided with UN
Member States endorsement of the SDG in September 2015 with firm commitment to
“Leave No One Behind”. WPSR 2015 like earlier WPSRs’ presented good analysis
and good lessons learned but did not go further to present good recommendations
and conclusions setting out Actionable Agenda Items that each UN Member State:
Governments, Parliaments, Judiciary could adopt or adapt to help them grapple
effectively with real and complex challenges of Public Sector Management, PSM
Dimension of 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21 and Agenda 21 on the ground in their
respective Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional or Global
CSnNSrRG location Context.
WPSR 2015 and
earlier WPSRs’, like other existing similar UNO Reports, including UNDP Human
Development Report, HDR; FAO State of Food and Agriculture Report, SFAR; and
WBG World Development Report, WDB etc as well as UN Secretary General’s Reports
including UNSG SDG Progress Reports, are Vision and Words without Action, as
each Report answer only What questions while avoiding or evading answer to How
questions.
National and
Global Leaders on UN Member States: Governments, Parliaments, Judiciary and UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF sides need to individually and jointly recognize that
without converting these Reports into Vision and Words with Action wherein each
Reworked Report and each New Report correctly answer How questions, it will be
uphill task achieving 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 aligned and
harmonized with Community Development Plans and Country Development Plans
Vision Ambitions, in each of UN Member State by target date.
This Paper is our
Organization’s contribution towards ways and means of effectively tackling this
challenge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
UNDESA – DPADM 2015
Answering HOW questions is a DOING Matter
To achieve increasing
convergence between SDG Vision Intention and Reality by 2030 target date, each
UN Member State: Governments, Parliaments and Judiciary, as well as UN System:
UNO, WBG, IMF and Partners at each specific CSbNSrRG level need to overcome
many challenges. These include:-
1. Removing disconnect between UNO Headquarters New York; WBG and IMF
Headquarters Washington and Communities in each UN Member State.
2.
Converting the 2030 Transformation Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21
and its “Leave No One Behind” Concept into Single Policy, Program, Project
Intervention “3PI and 3PI Training as One” Initiative such as Governance,
Corruption and Accountability; Food Agriculture and Nutrition; Land, Water and
Cooperatives; GCrA-FAN-LWCp Dimension of 2030 Transformation Agenda with
Capacity Building; Knowledge and Research; Networking and Partnerships, CbKrNp
and Citizens Engagement; Public Sector Management; Learning, Evaluation and
Results CePmLr as Denominators in each specific CSnNSrRG location context. This
“Single Agenda” Intervention will be Designed and Delivered within Migration;
Conflict Resolution; Security; Health; Welfare – Individual, Family, Society;
Economy – Individual, Institution, Country (North or South); Education; Entrepreneurship; Empowerment; Employment and
Engagement to be effectively addressed in each UN Member State and in ways that
deliver Pro Poor: Economic Growth, Wealth Creation and Institutional Reforms:
Systems, Structures, Processes, Policies, Rules and Cultures Changes at each
specific CSbNSrRG level.
3. Capacity Building: Individual: Hard Competences – Learning and Skills and Soft Competences: Character, Courage and Mindset; Institution: Systems – Operations, Administration, Governance,
Marketing, Funding, Technology, Evaluation, Accountability, Regulation,
Standards, Accounting, Service Delivery, Legal and Reform and Society: Spaces – Political, Cultural, Economic, Financial, Peace,
Security, Religious, Moral, Cooperatives, Communication, Social, Environmental,
Legal and Technical
4.
Developing competent, diverse and ethical public servants and civil
servants not just in the core civil
service on government side, but also in the civil service on parliaments and
judiciary sides as well as the public service, military service – army, navy,
air force, military intelligence and para military service - police, foreign
intelligence, domestic intelligence, customs, immigration, prisons, fire,
highway patrol, narcotics etc) and
inclusive, participatory and accountable institutions.
5. Addressing all fundamental issues of Correct Diagnosis, Correct
Prescription, Correct Surgery and Correct Recovery Management within
appropriately designed and delivered Pilot Programs and Scale Up Programs in
each specific CSnNSrRG location context.
6.
Addressing acts of omission or commission responsible for 2030
Transformation Agenda What questions being answered and How questions being
avoided or evaded. It is pertinent to note that the National and International Development Community had in the Pre MDG era, MDG era
and up to 3rd quarter 2017 Year 2 of Implementation of SDG, focused
a great deal of attention on learning2 what policies and
interventions are needed to generate better outcomes, it has paid much less
attention to learning why those approaches succeed so well in some
contexts but fail to generate positive results in others and has paid even less
attention to learning HOW New Approaches that could succeed well in each
specific CSnNSrRG location context could be Designed and Delivered. Also all UN System Entities are still in
MDG Mode.
7. Addressing PSM 7 Pillars (Page 6) dimension of (1) – (6) on both North
and South countries sides.
8. Addressing Building levels of Political Will and Public Will required to tackle issues in (1) – (7) effectively
and efficiently, in each specific
CSnNSrRG location context.
9.
Recognizing that Correct
answers to issues in (1) – (8) is A DOING/Know How Matter not A
Talking/Rhetoric Matter.
Rethinking WPSR Series and
other UN System Reports
WPSR
2017 was titled “Migration, Health and Countries in Post Conflict Situations”.
It will be recalled that WPSR 2010 was titled “Reconstructing Public
Administration After Conflict: Challenges, Practices and Lessons Learned”. WPSR
2017 title suggests an Evaluation of WPSR 2010. WPSR 2017 is coming 2 years after
WPSR 2015 (title Page 1) and 7 years after WPSR 2010, yet PSM issues WPSR 2010
and WPSR 2015 sought to address are still outstanding in 2017. Records show
that modalities for tackling PSM Challenges in the SDG era that ought to have
been agreed by UN Member States by end 1st quarter 2015 Year of
Decision (if WPSRs’ Lessons Learnt were actually Learnt) are still outstanding
by 3rd quarter 2017 Year 2 of Implementation and all UN System: UNO,
WBG, IMF Entities are still in MDG Mode in 3rd quarter 2017 Year 2
of Implementation. This once more underlines urgent need for Rethinking WSPRs
and other UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF Reports to meaningfully address above points
(1) – (9).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
WBG WDR 2017 on Governance and the Law
UNSG Report on Repositioning the UN Development
System to deliver on the 2030 Agenda – Ensuring Better Future for All3
In
compliance with Paragraph 19 of QCPR 2016, the UN Secretary General on 30 June
2017 released the above Report.
This
UNSG Report essentially calls for above Rethinkings 4 and provide
stronger evidence supporting validity of many of our Organization’s Study
Findings including: the disconnect between Communities in North and South
Countries and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF Entities Headquarters; many UN System:
UNO, WBG, IMF Entities –Policy, Program, Project Interventions are discussed
and implemented at Headquarters and Regional Offices, discussed without
implementation at Country Offices and not discussed and not implemented at
Sub-national Offices and Beneficiary Community levels and UN System Entities
themselves need help before they can help UN Member States etc.
The
Report identifies Accountability 5 as a Major Issue. However, as
long as concerned National Leaders and Global Leaders on UN Member States:
Governments, Parliaments, Judiciary; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF; CSOs/NGOs; Academic Institutions/ Traditional Institutions/
Religious Organizations; Private Sector: Micro, Small, Medium, Large,
Multinational Enterprises; Media: Radio, TV, Print, Online sides supported by
Internal Consultants and External Consultants with minimum certain levels of
Hard Competences: Learning and Skills and Soft Competencies: Character, Courage
and Mindset do not know why Paris Declaration, PD (2005) and Bussan Declaration
(2011) had flaws and failures; they will not know how to design and deliver
2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 Accountability Framework that will succeed
on sustainable basis in all 306/193 UN Member States; UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF
Entities and Partners sides.

Rebecca M Affolder, June 2017, An Accountable
UNDS for the 21st Century
This
UNSG Report, like all other existing UNSG Reports and other UN System: UNO,
WBG, IMF Reports, including UN Development System, UNDS Conferences and
Meetings Outcome Documents, has Big Information, Research and Knowledge Gaps
that need to be correctly identified and correctly filled in each specific
Community, Sub-national, National, Sub-regional, Regional Location context to
produce revised Report that is Vision and Words with Action through clear and
correct answers to How questions as well as ways of implementing through Pilot
Programs with effective monitoring and evaluation of this implementation and
the Scale Up of
Successful Pilot Programs in each specific CSnNSrRG location context.
The relevant processes for design
and delivery of required Systems, Structures, Processes, Policies, Rules and Cultures Changes
within UNDS Internal and External Publics are described in greater details in
ISPE/EAG Policy Briefs on Rethinkings and Food Brexit (links provided) and
other ISPE/EAG Policy Briefs/Papers (copies on ISPE/EAG Blog).
Facing New
Direction and Adopting New Priorities
It is clear that SDG / 2030 Agenda: AAAA,
SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 need to be converted into a Single
Set of Cohesive Strategies, Policies, Programs and Projects and Food,
Agriculture and Nutrition Dimension of SDG / 2030 Agenda: AAAA, SDG,
COP21, Agenda 21 offers the most practical alternative for achieving such
conversion. This underlines need for National and Global Stakeholders in each specific CSnNSrRG location context to face New Direction and Adopt
New Priorities underlined by New PSM Strategies that Work.
Brexit6 and Climate Change7 will make
already bad World Hunger, Malnutrition, Poverty, Migration, Security etc
problems worse, if Brexit is Force for Evil and Climate Change Challenges
remain un-tackled. Brexit as Force for Evil that is: Hard Brexit, Soft
Brexit or No Deal portend chaos and disaster not only for UK and EU but also
for remaining European countries and countries in all other Regions /
continents in our World today. This underlines urgent need for Alternative
Brexit proposed in Food Brexit Paper driven by New PSM to be embraced by
relevant CSnNSrRG Stakeholders
on both North and South Countries
sides.

Conclusion
Good
Governance requires clear Goals and robust performance measures which are
transparent and more importantly outcome based. For points made in this Paper
to be operationalized in practice in each North and South Country, clear
answers must be found to How questions and NOW.
