FN vil sætte gang i folkelig debat om udviklingsmål frem mod 2030

Laurits Holdt

Det er besluttet at 2015-målene skal afløses af et nyt sæt udviklingsmål. De nye mål skal vedtages på FNs generalforsamling i september 2015. Nu vil FN invitere offentligheden til at komme med input. Det skal ske via offentlige møder og diskussioner.

NEW YORK, 4 March (UNDP): The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) which unites 32 UN funds and programmes, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), announced Tuesday its plan to launch Dialogues on Implementation of the Post-2015 development agenda in initially 50 countries.

The consultations will take the form of public meetings and discussions where policy planners, civil society representatives, community and private sector leaders will discuss how to best deliver the next sustainable development agenda that will build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG = 2015 Målene).

The dialogues will be supplemented by online consultations hosted on the World We Want 2015 platform (http://www.worldwewant2015.org).

“We are committed to changing the way multilateral development diplomacy works,” said Olav Kjorven, Special Advisor to the UNDP Administrator on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

FN vil give mere plads til folkeligt engagement

“We will continue to expand the areas where people will be able to engage with the work of the United Nations.”

The findings from the dialogues will be presented to the UN Member States during their negotiations of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Post-2015 Agenda.

The dialogues will focus on identifying solutions and strategies around the following six thematic areas:

  • Localizing the post-2015 development agenda
  • Helping to strengthen capacities and institutions
  • Participatory monitoring, existing and new forms of accountability
  • Partnerships  with civil society and other actors
  • Partnerships with the private sector
  • Culture and development

“We are currently working with the UN Member States and our colleagues across the UN system on identifying the countries that will host the dialogues on implementation,” added Olav Kjorven.

“We are aiming for a balanced regional and thematic representation so that the findings will be useful in the intergovernmental negotiations through which the UN Member States will agree the Sustainable Development Goals.”

In 2013, almost two million people engaged in sharing their priorities for the future development agenda through an initiative organized by the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) in 88 countries, and through 11 thematic consultations and a global survey MY World.

The results of workshops, interviews and online and offline polls are available in the report “A Million Voices: The World We Want”.

You can follow the discussions on Twitter under #Post2015.
