Suggestions and Inputs for Improving Governments and UN Response to Implementing 2021 UNDP Collective Intelligence Reports 1 and 2

 

Strengthening Governments and UN 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 as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050, that is Race to Zero 2050 by end 2050 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet

 

Let’s not fool ourselves. A COVID19 vaccine cannot undo damage that will stretch across years, even decades to come. Extreme poverty is rising; the threat of famine looms. It is time to reset. As we build a strong recovery, we must seize the opportunity for change.

UN Secretary General, H.E. Antonio Guteress Statement on 1 January 2021

Your Excellencies,

 

The 2020 UN Secretary General H.E. Antonio Guteress Annual Report on Work of the Organization present impressive Scorecard of UN Membership achievements in past 75 years and note that much more remain to be done if our World is to Fight and Win War on COVID19; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity linked to achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2020 and reach Global Goals 2050 or Race to Zero by end 2050 target date. We commend the Report.

https://www.un.org/annualreport/files/2020/09/Annual-report-SG-2020-EN-Complete-Web.pdf

 

Your Excellencies, the Report noted that even before the COVID19 pandemic was acknowledged by UN and Governments early in 2020, our World was not On Track to achieve the SDGs by end 2030 target date; that in January 2020 the UN launched the International Decade of Action to accelerate SDGs Implementation in All North and South Countries and that the COVID19 pandemic has made the Decade of Action both more Urgent and more Challenging.

 

Your Excellencies, Our World is at Cross Roads or End Point. The Domestic and Global Challenges facing Governments and UN are Huge and Complex and underline need for more effective and more inclusive Domestic and Global Response to Domestic and Global Challenges on the ground facing All Governments and All UN today.

 

Your Excellencies, this important Report underlines urgent need to restore the Justice and Dignity Pillars of the SDGs alongside reinvigorating the existing 5Ps Pillars of People, Peace, Prosperity, Planet and Partnership, if our World is to achieve Sustainable Success Fighting and Winning 5 Wars identified above, alongside achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and pressing forward to reach Global Goals 2050 or Race to Zero by end 2050 target date.

 

Your Excellencies, the ongoing COVID19 Pandemic continue to wreck increasing havoc and devastation at Domestic and Global levels in all UN Member States. However whereas COVID19 is Open Killer, there are Pre-existing Pandemics of Climate, Environment, Poverty, Inequality, Injustice and Corruption that are wrecking worse havoc and devastation than COVID19 but being Hidden Killers, are not getting the attention they deserve Nationally and Globally.

 

Your Excellencies, it is now clear to all UN and all Governments Leaders that COVID19 has exposed the Soft Underbelly of Decayed Domestic and Global Systems and Services on North and South Countries Governments – All Arms of All Tiers sides, as well as on All UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO – Trade and WTO – Tourism: Headquarters, Regional Offices and Country Offices sides.

 

Your Excellencies, it is also now clear to all UN and all Governments Leaders that No One is Safe Until Everyone is Safe and that this underline Urgent Need for entire UN and All Governments to Make Original UN Charter Work for World Poor, in the process Win War On COVID19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity as well as achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and reach Global Goals 2050 or Race to Zero by end 2050 target date.

Your Excellencies, Moving forward in Global Interest means Leaders on UN, Governments, Business, Academia, Consultants, other Stakeholders and other Major Groups sides need to know what it means hewing to old ways or finding new, activist ones or both as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context.

Your Excellencies, May 2021 UNDP Collective Intelligence Reports 1 and 2 is another of the UNDP’s contribution to find National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to above complex problems. Report 1 noted that even before the COVID19 pandemic global progress towards the SDGs had stalled and in some cases reversed; that acceleration is needed in many areas; that the impact of automation and rapid urbanization are just some of the complex issues Development Policy Makers are grappling with no Best Practice Solutions exist and Views are Divided; that combination of increasing complexity and lagging progress means the approaches characterizing much Development Practice (i.e. top down and rigidly focused on narrowly defined Goals) may be particularly unsuitable.

https://acceleratorlabs.undp.org/content/acceleratorlabs/en/home/

Your Excellencies Report 1 also noted that OECD suggest rather than following a singular Paradigm or Pathway, Development Strategies need to be more context specific and more participatory, place based, multisectoral and multilateral with more focus on experimentation and mutual learning. It also calls for Rethinking of International Cooperation beyond financial aid to foster more effective exchanges of social and human capital thus underlining urgent need for New Approaches to Sustainable Development.

 

7 Overarching Mistakes

 

Your Excellencies, we urge All UN and All Governments to genuinely recognize that Winning 5 Identified Wars; achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 or Race to Zero by end 2050 target date greatly depends on All UN and All Governments genuinely appreciating the existence of 7 Overarching Mistakes and All UN and All Governments genuinely recognizing Joint Need to Speedily Resolve and in Urgent Global Interest the 7 Overarching Mistakes. These are:-

1.  Omitting Step 1 How to Get DONE What Stakeholders / World Leaders have AGREED to Get DONE - Original UN Charter Vision; World Transformation Agenda Vision - SDGs, AAAA, COP21, Agenda 21 Rio and Rio + 20; Race to Zero 2050 before operating in Step 2 - Getting DONE or DOING What Stakeholders / World Leaders have agreed to DO or Get DONE as listed.

2.   Deploying Multiple Approaches to Operate in Step 2 some or many of which are Divergent or Contradictory rather than First Agreeing One World Wide Approach that is Sufficiently All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious such as 3PCM that is Not One Cap Fit All but Common Agreement and a Generic One Worldwide Approach that is Integral Part of Step 1 and effectively deployed as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context.

https://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2019/03/3pcm-benefits-focused-one-worldwide.html   3PCM One Worldwide Approach

3.      All UN and All Governments essentially Working in Silos in Step 2 while omitting Step 1 rather than All UN and All Governments essentially Working in Synergy in Step 1 and then Pressing Forward to Step 2.

4. Lack of Domestic and Global Central Coordination of National and Global Development Cooperation Radical / Fundamental and Rapid / Fast Change adequate to achieve all Global Goals agreed by World Leaders built upon All UN and All Governments Agreeing Step 1 before Pressing forward to operate in Step 2 as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context.

5.   Lack of UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One that is Central Driver of Domestic and Global Central Coordination in (4).

6.      Lack of meaningful Involvement of Original Ideas Creators who are State Actors and Non State Actors; UN Innovators and Non UN Innovators who through their unadulterated struggle and commitment use their God given Talents to seek True Sustainable: Development, Diplomacy, Peace, Unity, Defense, Security, Equality, Opportunities, Justice and Dignity underlining Initiatives in (1) - (5). 

7.      Lack of Domestic and Global Communication Strategy meaningfully Supporting  Multi Stakeholder Partnership as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context supporting Initiatives in (1) - (6). 

As long as these 7 Overarching Mistakes are not speedily corrected, our World will continue in increasing acceleration on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM resulting in governments inability to deliver New Social Contract at National level and New Global Deal at Global level leading to possible Perishing our Fragile Planet at worst and Global Depression taking Generation(s) to Reverse at best.

Your Excellencies, the good ideas in the UN Reports, the 2 highlighted above and many more, will remain mere good ideas, if our World does not speedily Change Course to correct the 7 Overarching Mistakes and start accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM.

Rethinking UN Meetings and Conferences

 

Your Excellencies, there is a need to Rethink UNGA Special Sessions and other UN Events, if these Events – Special and Regular are to contribute more meaningfully towards identifying and filling all Information, Knowledge, Research, Ambition and Innovation Gaps identified in Implementing the Report by All UN and All Governments as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent and Global/Planet location context.

 

Your Excellencies, we urge UNDESA, UNGSS, UNSC, UNDPPA, UNPGA, UNSG, President UNECOSOC and other relevant UN Headquarters Entities to genuinely appreciate that in UN Special or Regular Events, any Single Statement that meaningfully addresses all COVID19 Areas Hit, Impacts Made and Dimensions Affected will be as long, if not longer than the Invited Statement made by select UN, Government and other Stakeholders Leaders at these UN Special and or Regular UN Events. Same goes for all remaining Public Health Issues Challenging All UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO – Trade and WTO –Tourism Membership and All Arms of All Tiers of Government in our World today. Same goes for all remaining issues within World Transformation Agenda.

The point being made is that:-

1.      UN and Governments Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented COVID19; Climate and Environment; Conflicts, Insecurity; Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity Crises linked to achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Race to Zero by 2050 real and complex Challenges on the ground as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent and Global/Planet location context need to be more meaningfully addressed and On Time.

2.      The Report Implementation Challenge on All UN and All Governments sides needs to be meaningfully addressed and On Time.

3.      UNSG H.E. Antonio Guteress Statement quoted above underline Global Need for All UN and All Governments to Work Together to Succeed Together to effectively address (1) and (2) and as soon as possible in 2021 and Kick Start this through speedily convene UNGSS 32^nd Special Session or other Special Joint UN and Governments Event that is Global Re-Orientation Workshop Marking Global Turning Point in the Global Reset Driving Global Opportunity for Change that UNSG H.E. Antonio Guteress has consistently called for.

 

Your Excellencies, If UN and Governments Leadership keep avoiding or evading meaningfully addressing these 3 points, there are storms ahead in 2021 and Beyond that could consume all of us in our World today.  Therefore all necessary measures need to be taken to avoid the looming global colossal catastrophic consequences of Triple Failure: Failure to Win 5 Wars; Failure to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and Failure to reach Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.

32^nd UN Special Session or Other Special Joint UN and Governments Event

Your Excellencies, overcoming the Report Implementation Challenge greatly depends on the Design and Delivery of Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global COVID19 Crisis, other Pandemics Crisis linked to achieving SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 (it is now clear that SDGs can no longer be achieved by 2030) and reaching Global Goals or Race to Zero 2050 by end 2050 target date.

Your Excellencies, New Levels of Solidarity and Multilaterism required for Sustainable Success need to be Kick Started from the suggested UNGSS 32^nd Special Session or other Special Joint UN and Governments Event that is a 3 Day High Level Virtual Meeting /High Level Political Forum, HLPF/HLVM for Decision Makers and Policy Makers on UN, Governments and their Domestic and Global Partners sides.

Your Excellencies, the 3 Day HLPF/HLVM will help build National and Global Institutional Architecture within which Political Leaders; Civil Servants; Religious Leaders; Traditional Rulers; Tribal Leaders on one hand and Leaders on UN; Governments; Business; Academia; Consultants; other Major Groups such as EU, OECD etc and other Stakeholders such as Student Groups, Labor Unions, Media Houses etc on the other hand Work Together to Succeed Together to meaningfully address the 7 Overarching Mistakes and Obey UNSG H.E. Antonio Guteress Clarion Call for Global Reset and Global Solidarity, as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.

Your Excellencies, point being made is this 32^nd Special Session or other Special Joint UN and Governments Event is essentially a 3 Day Global Re-Orientation Workshop for State Actors and Non State Actors as well as UN Actors and Non UN Actors to come together to agree a Framework for Central Coordination of Domestic and Global Response to Governance, Globalization, Solidarity – Political, Science, Finance, Innovation etc as One and as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country,  Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context.

Your Excellences, too much time has been wasted Working HARDer Doing the same old things in the same old ways and wondering why UN and Governments keep getting the same old results – Not Winning 5 Wars and Not achieving Global Goals.

Your Excellencies, Now is Time for Action mean Now is Time for action Demand UN and Governments Changing Course to start Working SMARTer DOING New Thing in New Ways and getting New Results that Work for 5 Billion World Poor Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders out of the 8.5 Billion People in our World of 2030. This Demand New Types of Multi Stakeholder Partnerships, MSP, built upon answering this MSP Report How Questions:-

https://www.nachhaltigkeitsrat.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Study_Pathways_for_MSP-advisory_bodies_2021.pdf

Your Excellencies, the UNDP Collective Intelligence Report 1 notes that Collective Intelligence can help:-

1.   Stakeholders tap into new sources of data and insights to fill SDG data gaps and understand emerging problems more quickly.

2.      Accelerate Progress by tapping into the Collective Brainpower of Citizens, drawing on a wider network of Innovators or seeking and sharing Tested Solutions from elsewhere.

3.    In Complex or Uncertain Situations where there is disagreement on How to Proceed, where the Way Forward is Unclear, or when the nature of the Problem is contested.   

Your Excellencies, the UNDP Collective Intelligence Reports 1 and 2 need to be converted to answer How Questions, if it is to make optimum contribution to Internal Publics and External Publics on all UN Membership and all Governments of North and South Countries sides as they Work Together to Succeed Together and Benefit Together.

Global Turning Point

Your Excellencies, our World is at Global Turning Point and Time is running out to make Right Choice or Right Turn.

The Biden Administration in US as well as the practical realities of implementing UK – EU Brexit Deal offer opportunity for US Government, Powerful North Countries Governments and Powerful South Countries Governments as well as UN System Membership and their Domestic and Global Partners to Work Together to Succeed Together and Benefit Together addressing the 7 Overarching Mistakes and Obeying UNSG H.E. Antonio Guteress Clarion Call to Reset our World before it is too late to avoid Global Catastrophe.

 

In Sum,

 

UN Member States are looking up to UN Principal Organ Entities, especially UN Headquarters Entities and UN Agencies especially UNDP,  WHO, FAO, ILO, UNESCO, UNICEF for Practical Help and Support to respond effectively to National and Global Challenges identified above, that each Government is grappling with.

 

All UN and All Governments need to jointly find better ways to design and deliver New National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to real National and Global Challenges facing entire UN Membership and all UN Member States.

 

No One Know when our World will race past irreversibility point in ongoing acceleration on MADning Road to DOOM. If UN and Governments are to Change Course and On Time to avoid Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophe arising from Triple Failures – Failure to Win 5 Wars; Failure to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and Failure to reach Global Goals 2050, then One Day Delay Scheduling the 3 Day HLPF/HLVM or 32^nd Special Session or other Special Joint UN and Governments Event and may be One Day too late to Change Course and start accelerating on MAPing Road to BOOM.

 

It is therefore in Urgent Global Interest that the 3 Day HLPF/HLVM or 32^nd Special Session or other Special Joint UN and Governments Event Pre Summit Days, Summit Days and Post Summit Days as One Technical and Political Process Discussions start immediately.

 

Should UN and Governments in North and South Countries take all necessary measures to ensure this Bright Prospects of Success become reality; UN and Governments in North and South Countries would have helped Save our Fragile Planet from Imminent Guaranteed Perishing flowing from identified Triple Failures remaining unchecked.

 

God Bless UN. God Bless our World.

Global Push To Achieve SDGs Vision and Words with Action Agenda 30

ISPE       EAG

INTERATIONAL SOCIETY FOR POVERTY ELIMINATION                   ECONOMIC ALLIANCE GROUP

Briefing # 9: The $5 Trillion Wars and $15 Trillion Wars: Rethinking Development, Diplomacy, Defence, Democracy and Data – Central Role for SDG Vision and Words with Action?

Global Call to US Leaders, Europe Leaders, World Leaders, Representatives of 193 UN Member States, 9 Major Groups, other CSOs’ and other Stakeholders.

By Lanre Rotimi and Peter Orawgu.                                                     23 October 2016

Introduction

The evidence of the 135^th US Labour Day is that Poverty in America is at Jim Crow Days level for increasing number of American Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders. If there is any comfort, across the Ocean in the UK, Poverty is now at Victorian Era levels for increasing number of UK Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders. This is also the reality in many Developed and Developing Countries in our World today. Therefore, putting these issues firmly on the Front Burner in the Public Arena in the 16 Days remaining to US 2016 Presidential Elections, are issues that are too important to be left in the hands of American Politicians and American Citizens alone.

Refocusing the 2016 US Presidential Elections on Fundamental Issues

US$ 5 Trillion War on Terror

16 days to the 8 November US Presidential Elections, there is a need to reflect deeply on root problems that led to this Election being probably the most divisive ever in US history and make meaningful progress finding sustainable solutions to same, even in the limited time remaining because 24 hours is a very long time in Politics, how much more 16 days. This is more so when this 2016 US Presidential Elections coincide with 135^th Labor Day in US and 1^st year after World Leaders endorsed the SDG.

The most recent estimates suggest that US War on Terror has cost about US$5 Trillion and has been financed through Bonds in ways that side track US Budgetary Framework and so American Politicians and American Citizens appear ignorant of this staggering costs, since it is not financed by Tax and repayment will be the responsibility of future Generations of Americans.

It is a Scar on the Conscience of American Politicians and American Public that this US$ 5 Trillion and increasing War on Terror is essentially a Spectator War in which most Americans are neither involved nor engaged. This accounts for the absence of any real political discussion about how America will fund huge costs of the War on Terror that are still to be paid — for example, the $1 Trillion in lifetime disability compensation that Americans have awarded to 960,000 recent veterans.

It is worse that no American is asking whether the current approach in Afghanistan is working. Last month the US special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko, reported that corruption in Afghanistan is far more widespread than before the 2001 US invasion, due to US policies that “unintentionally aided and abetted corruption.” But his investigations get barely a mention in the media. Americans need to actually learn lessons from lessons learnt in the past 15 years of War on Terror

The required minimum certain levels of change will begin to occur only if Americans are obliged to pay for War on Terror operations on “Pay as Americans Go” basis, and also set aside money now to support and care for American veterans in the future. This is not simply about sound fiscal budgetary policy. Rather, it is about shouldering the burden of America Wars and, in doing so, being open to learn from America Wars mistakes. All Americans want to continue to “Support America Troops.” Sweeping the costs under the carpet is clearly not the right way to do it. Now is the time for US Universities, American Elders, American Citizens of Goodwill, American Security and American Media to be more determined in pursuing American Rescue Mission that Works.

US$ 15 Trillion War on Poverty

In addition to the US$5 Trillion War on Terror, the US Government is also Fighting War on Poverty at cost of US$15 Trillion. Americans need to be genuinely concerned and engaged in HOW American Congress Finance War on Terror and War on Poverty. Americans in indeed the World would be better off, using the next 16 Days to the 2016 Presidential Elections for Serious Talk on Serious Issues of the Dishonest Methods American Congress use to spend money and buy votes.

The Social Programs within War on Poverty are destined to bankrupt America by the way their finances are structured and by America’s demographics, if not urgently overhauled. Whoever becomes the next US President will have the honour of guiding America through the next waves of National and Global Financial Crises any of which could make 1930s Global Recession Child’s Play if urgent remedial measures are not taken.

Evaluation – Learning Lessons

There is urgent need to undertake sound Evaluation of past 15 Years (September 2001 – September 2016) of American War on Terror, if the next 15 (September 2016 – September 2031) Years Scorecard is to be different and also undertake sound Evaluation of the first 50 Years (January 1964 – January 2014) of American War on Poverty, if the next 50 Years (January 2014 – January 2064) Scorecard is to be different.

As long as American Politicians and American Citizens as well as Politicians in other Developed Countries and Developing Countries and Citizens in other Developed Countries and Developing Countries do not actually learn lessons of history, these Politicians and Citizens are doomed to repeat the mistake of history at Sub-national, National and International levels in the National and Global War on Terror and War on Poverty.

As long as American Politicians and American Citizens leave undone what they ought to do and do what they ought not to do, the real issues will continue to be avoided or evaded and the next American President will not clear signal from the American Citizens that help him/her Muster the Political Will required to effectively address all necessary Political and Sensitive Issues that Rethinking War on Terror and War on Poverty for Sustainable Solutions need to address in the Common Interest and Common Future of US and the World. This underlines urgent need to build bridge between lessons learning and lessons forgetting from Community to Global levels.

US National Security

American Politicians and American Citizens need to get out of their belief that the rest of the World is America’s potential enemy, that war with someone at each point in time, is always inevitable and only a strong military will keep America safe.

The reality is that this belief no longer holds in today’s World, even if there could be reasons for it in the past. Today there is increasing awareness of Global Human Connectedness and the Shared Planetary Risk of Eco-collapse that is worsened by increasing Climate Change and Agriculture Challenges from Community to Global levels.

The American Politician and American Citizens should appreciate that if they do not know why Terror is Fighting America and the World, they will not know how to Fight Terror within the US and Worldwide; that Fighting Terror that is essentially Guerilla Warfare, using Conventional Warfare Strategy and Tactics effort that is doomed to fail ab initio and that one can reason with another who wants to kill you but does not want to die in the process, however reasoning with one who wants to kill you and die in the process is an entirely different ball game and that collateral damage in Civilian Lives and Property in reality is booster to the Terrorist and so if care is not take Americans will be helping the Terrorists to defeat America and achieve their Goal of American Decline on Palter of Gold.

As America safety is far, far more imperiled by the fact that America has a military whose operations facing current direction and adopting current priorities is, in fact, creating more enemies as it churns out endless collateral damage, a.k.a., dead and injured civilians, than by any enemy that military is allegedly fighting, the time is now for America to Design and Deliver New National Security Strategy and New International Security Strategy that is Integral Part of curing diseases responsible for current failure of Community to Global: Development, Diplomacy, Defense, Democracy – regardless of the form of Government – Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Welfarism etc in any of the 193/306 UN Member States and Data.

US Congress Gimmicks and President Obama’s Nobel Price for Peace

President Obama promised to end Congress Gimmicks but they continued throughout his Presidency. The next President needs the support of American Citizens to end the Gimmicks in America’s enlightened self interest. President Obama was awarded Nobel Price for Peace at the onset of his Presidency – an act that is similar to awarding pass with Distinction before sitting examination. In the twilight of his Presidency, President Obama would earn his Nobel Price, if he helps to refocus the 2016 Presidential Elections to more effectively address substantive National and International Development Cooperation as well as National and International Security issues.

US Political Revolution and related Revolutions and Initiatives

It is pertinent to note that poverty is a cause and a product of human rights violations; that corruption is a cause and a product of poverty; that injustice is a cause and a product of corruption and that inequality is a cause and a product of injustice. Therefore if American Politicians and American Citizens as well as Politicians in other Developed and Developing Countries and Citizens in other Developed Countries and Developing Countries are to be serious in Fighting the War on Terror and War on Poverty, then more rigorous effort needs to be made towards addressing root problems on the ground within Informality, Formality, Inequality, Poverty Elimination and Environmental Sustainability.

Some American Politicians and American Citizens are calling for Political Revolution to address America’s root problems. However, Political Revolution that is not integral part of Cultural Revolution, Economic Revolution, Financial Revolution, Social Revolution, Environment Revolution, Peace Revolution, Security Revolution, Religion Revolution, Moral Revolution, Technical Revolution and Legal Revolution cannot produce Best Results on Successful and Sustainable Basis. Yet such Integrated Revolutions can only be delivered through Primary Revolutions, Secondary Revolutions and Reinventings such as those set out below whose Design and Delivery are within 2030 Agenda – AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 aligned and harmonized with Community Development Plans and Country Development Plans in 193/306 UN Member States.

Reinventings:

Governance, Government, Office of Citizen, Cities / Urban Areas, Villages / Rural Areas, Enterprises, Banks, Media, International Institutions, Universities / Tertiary Institutions

Revolutions:

Primary: Agriculture Revolution, Enterprise Revolution, Government Revolution, Applied Research Revolution, Attitudinal and Behavioural Change Revolution; Data Revolution; Digital Revolution

Secondary: Cooperation Revolution, Advocacy Revolution, Media Revolution, Anti Corruption Revolution, Education, Health, Housing, Evaluation etc

Reinvigoration War on Poverty in US and Worldwide 

2014 was the 50^th Anniversary of President Johnson’s War on Poverty. We read with interest the 2014 assessment of US President Johnson’s War on Poverty, by a scholar from the University of Virginia. Our view is that there has been some Progress and some Setbacks; that should all relevant Stakeholders agree to shift focus away from Problems and Fixing Blame and shift focus towards Fixing Problems and Practical Solutions, America and indeed the World can Conquer Poverty.

There is a need for a New Type of assessment of the War on Poverty focusing on what is working and how it can be improved; what is not working and how it can be corrected; where America and World is now and where America and World need to be if the War on Poverty is to be Won on successful and sustainable basis in America and Worldwide by the target date of the 2030 Agenda and certainly, by the 75^th Anniversary of President Johnson’s War on Poverty in 2039.

In the work towards Ending Hunger and Poverty in Nigeria, Africa, UK, Europe, US and World; there is a need to Fight and WIN 4 Wars from Village to Global levels: War on Poverty, Hunger, Disease and Environmental Degradation (PHDE). In each war there is a need to Fight and WIN 12 Battles: Battle Against Arrogance, Ignorance, Indifference, Incompetence, Indiscipline, Injustice, Intolerance, Insincerity, Inequality, Interference, Impunity and Corruption (A10IC).

3PCM APPROACH 

Dr. Hellmut Eggers, German, 88 in July 2016 created Project Cycle Management, PCM Approach to Benefits Focused Evaluation in 1987. 29 years after, had there been increasing convergence between Original PCM Approach Intention and Reality, many of the problems highlighted by Evidence Based Policy Development Network, EBPDN, Members in April 2014 Discussion on How Research Influence Policy, that remain valid today, will not exist. Today, only Hellmut and Lanre et all at ISPE / EAG are practising Original PCM.

Lanre Rotimi created Policy, Program, Project Cycle Management, 3PCM and Comprehensive Systems Reform, CSR Approach to Benefits Focused National and International Development in 2009. In 2012 Hellmut and Lanre’s Versions of Original PCM were merged into 3PCM Approach to Sustainable Benefits Focused National and International Development Cooperation.

We note that there are different approaches, visions, models and tools available to each country to achieve National Resilience, Mitigation, Adaptation Plan, NRMAP; having 9 Components including Agriculture, Infrastructure, Health – Plant, Animal, Human etc; AAAA; SDG; COP21 and Agenda 21, 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. GPEDC Vision needs to coincide with such United Community to Global Vision.

Within 3PCM Approach, National and International Development Cooperation – Policy, Program, Project Interventions; 3PIs’ are Designed and Delivered as a set of Integrated ACTIONS as One:-

1.     Consultative Research

2.     Diagnostic Studies

3.     Prescription

4.     Surgery

5.     Recovery Management

That is 3PCM Initiative – Design and Delivery of 3PIs’ using (1) – (5) as One and 3PCM Training – Design and Delivery of 3PIs’ using (1) – (5) as One Training are two sides of the same coin. Neither can stand alone.

(1) – (5) are interlinked, interconnected and interdependent. Any 3PI where one or more of the 5 Actions are not undertaken at  minimum certain levels of Effectiveness and Efficiency cannot achieve set Goals and targets at all not to talk of on time. Documents relating to 3PCM Approach, including Generic MAF and Testing MAF available upon request.

Implementing Study Report Recommendations

ISPE / EAG have identified that flaws and failures implementing Sound Recommendations set out in Study Reports – including Reports such as World Development Reports, WDRs’; Conference Reports; Parliamentary Committee Reports; Regulatory Agency Reports, arise from the following Root Problems:-

1.     Lack of One Worldwide Common and Systemic Approach to National and International Development Cooperation as well as National and International Security Strategy.

2.     Lack of National and International Development Cooperation Stakeholder Groups Master Multi Stakeholder Platforms MSP, and MSPs that effectively Link Decision Makers and Managers on UN Members States; UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF and CSOs/NGOs from Community to Global levels

3.     Lack of Movement for Positive Development Change Driving Sub-national, National and Global Collective ACTION that effectively link each Community in each of 306/193 UN Member States with UNO Headquarters New York, WBG Headquarters Washington, IMF Headquarters Washington, FAO/IFAD Headquarters Rome and ILO Headquarters Rome .

4.     Lack of adequate National and International Development Cooperation Statutory Regulatory Agencies at National, Regional and Global levels.

5.     Lack of bringing to bear Whole of Community/Country/Bank/Institution Thinking towards the Sustainable Solutions to Whole of Community/Country/Bank/ Institution problems.

GPDEC HLM2

Poverty, Hunger, Insecurity and Climate Change are the most urgent problems facing our World today and demand National Leaders and World Leaders work SMARTer to continuously improve collaboration, cooperation, cohesion and coordination within North South and South South Multi Stakeholder Platforms, MSPs, that effectively link each Community in each of the 193/306 Member States to UNO Headquarters New York, WBG Headquarters Washington, IMF Headquarters Washington, FAO/IFAD Headquarters Rome and ILO Headquarters Rome.

The GPDEC HLM2 Nairobi, December 2016 offers Global Platform for President Obama and US President Elect, UN Secretary General and UN Secretary General Election as well as the FAO DG to jointly seek effective support of National Leaders and World Leaders in the 3 Major Blocks – Major Groups, UN System – UNO, WBG, IMF and CSOs/NGOs for the Implementation and Evaluation of New NRMAP-Ag that is integral part of NRMAP that is integral part of renewed Global Collective Action towards sustainable solutions to all AAAA, SDG, COP21, Agenda 21 real and complex root problems on the ground from Community to Global levels.

Pilot Program and Scale Up Program

The Best way to Learn to Swim is to get into the Swimming Pool. The Best way to Test the Good Ideas and Pertinent Suggestions the HLM2 Team would harvest from HLM2 and its Global Consultation is to start immediately a Pilot Program and Scale Up Program.

GPEDC Vision – Acid Test of Credibility

[[

The Acid Test of Credibility of the GPEDC Vision is How it Delivers from Community to Global levels:-

1.      Better Aid, Trade, Debts, Anti Corruption and Anti Terror Interventions

2.      Better Innovation and Creativity in Climate Change Resilience, Mitigation and Adaptation Solutions Management

3.      Better Collaboration, Cooperation, Cohesion and Coordination

4.      Better Pilot Programs and Scale Up Programs

Way Forward

Innovation and Creativity are Keys as we face Community to Global Challenges of Modernization and Climate Change in the 21^st Century. 2016 US Presidential Elections and all that follows within and outside the US; France and German Elections in 2017 and all that follows as well as UK and EU Brexit negotiations and all that follows underline need to evolve New National and International Institutions Fit for the 21^st Century.

The correct answers to HLM2 How questions could be found first, in selecting One Worldwide Approach, and second in establishing Pilot Programs to test good ideas and pertinent suggestions harvested from this Global Consultation and Scale Up Programs at National, Regional and Global levels for ideas and suggestions that Pilot Programs identify as Working. As long as Stakeholders continue to use multiple, sometimes divergent Approaches and as long as ideas and suggestions cannot be tested to determine what works and how it could be expanded and what is not working and how it could be corrected, it would be uphill task achieving increasing convergence between HLM2 Vision Intention and Reality.

Conclusion

]]][[[[[

These are indeed trying times. There is need to address fundamental issues of Denial, Deception and Delusion if sustainable solutions are to be found to War on Terror and War on Poverty in Nigeria, Africa, UK, Europe, US and rest of the World.

There is urgent need to move Nigeria, Africa, UK, Europe, US and rest of the World away from current path of acceleration on the MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to Doom to new path of acceleration on the MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM. There are bright prospects of success, if the right thing is done and on time.
