It was a great pleasure to be a youth speaker for the joint thematic debate which was held on 9-10th April 2014 in UN Headquarters, New York city.
The Outcome Document of the Special Event to Follow‐Up Efforts to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals held on September 25th of 2013 underscored the need to strengthen the existing global partnership for development under MDG 8 and build new partnerships for sustainable development.
With less than 800 days remaining, efforts must be intensified for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, building on successful, effective and well‐managed national, regional and global strategies that have allowed the international community to meet several of the MDG targets and to achieve significant and substantial advances in those goals and targets that have not yet been met. Strengthened global partnerships for sustainable development will be a catalyst for the international community to aspire and advance towards an ambitious and transformative sustainable development agenda beyond 2015.
National ownership will be a fundamental factor of the post 2015 development agenda. National efforts will also need to be assisted by international support and an enabling international environment. The mobilization and effective use of all resources, public and private, domestic and international, will be vital. A renewed sense of commitment and partnership holds the key to both leveraging new public and private resources and leveraging stakeholders’ comparative advantage, including in the areas of research, technology, innovation, finance and human capacity.
The main objective of the thematic debate was to provide a platform for Member States to address how strengthened global partnerships for sustainable development including multi‐stakeholders partnerships can contribute to the implementation of the post 2015 development agenda.
The event promoted the scaling‐up of the impact of all forms of cooperation in the post 2015 development agenda, and promote the urgent implementation of existing commitments under the global partnership for development while also addressing the emerging role of innovative multi‐stakeholder partnerships.
The event guided by the following preliminary questions:
1) What are the key lessons learned of the implementation of MDG 8 and what incentives can be created to reinforce its implementation?
2) While not a substitute to existing cooperation mechanisms, how can multi‐stakeholder partnerships be an important complement to achieving internationally agreed development goals, including in the context of the post 2015 development agenda?
3) How can Governments, at all levels, incentivize multi‐stakeholder engagement for the implementation of sustainable development, in particular from the private sector?
4) Which models or mechanisms can help ensure effective monitoring and accountability of the means of implementation of the post‐2015 development agenda?
