Historique

The United Nations Millennium Declaration was adopted in 2000 by world leaders, committing their countries to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out time-bound goals on meeting the needs of the world’s poorest. These goals, to be achieved by 2015, formed the basis of what are now known as the eight millennium development goals which have been broken down into 21 quantified targets that are measures by 60 indicators.

As was outlined in the report of the Secretary General Assembly in September 2011, the UN system’s process of developing a new framework post-2015 is likely to have the best development impact if it emerges from an inclusive, open and transparent process with multi-stakeholder participation. For the past 9 years, the UN Millennium Campaign has led UN efforts to build partnerships with civil society, private sector and citizens to contribute to the achievement of the MDGs. This has been done through the use of innovative communications, campaign, advocacy, social mobilization and policy/dialogue. The focus has been to seek to influence policy the generation allocation and effective use of resources, ways of working and the democratic governance environment to accelerate the progress towards MDG achievement.

In this regard the UN Millennium Campaign is taking the lead in designing and implementing the strategy for outreach to stakeholders; both within and outside the UN including key leaders across civil society. Our post-2015 outreach is an attempt to bring the voice of citizens, civil society and the myriad of other stakeholders directly into the debates and conversations that will shape the development agendas.

Given this continuous push and building upon the momentum of MY World and World We Want, the MY World Project Consultant is expected to provide support to promote MY World and project manage the MY World 2.0 spin off survey focused on climate change, called MY Green World. A due process of credibility for of the survey itself is to be undertaken by the consultant through an extensive content development and review process. Through UNMC, CCST and UNFCCC support an online open consultation will be facilitate by the Project Consultant. Under the supervision of the MY World Manager the consultant will coordinate and liaise with a key advisory task team to ensure validity of the potential data and civic engagement throughout the intergovernmental process. In addition, the consultant will develop key partnerships with CSOs as well as through UN agencies focused on civic engagement as well as the intergovernmental processes.

A strategic plan for dissemination, follow up and planning post COP 21 will be developed and led by the consultant. Lastly, trainings for UN Permanent Missions for Member States to partake in pilot launches with specific attention initially paid to low lying Member States; Maldives, Palau, Sri Lanka, Samoa as well as Northern Europe Member States. Partner mapping will be planned and implemented on the road to Paris with additional Member States targeted by partner organizations with UNMC support.

The consultant is expected to support the UNMC team, under the supervision of the MY World Project Manager with a particular focus on climate change and development.
