Antecedentes |
With the 2015 MDG deadline fast approaching, the UN Secretary-General has outlined the UN-led process to determine the post-2015 development framework. To contribute to the UN system-wide effort, the UNDG has been asked to: 1) facilitate national consultations in at least 50 countries; 2) hold global thematic consultations on key issues pertaining to the post-2015 development agenda; and 3) create a web portal for interaction and information exchange. The results of these efforts will serve as input to the work of the High-Level Panel to be named by the Secretary-General after the Rio+20 conference in June 2012. The global thematic consultations will be organised in partnership with civil society, academia, the private sector and decision makers and will be based on the following nine topics: Inequalities; Population; Health; Education; Growth & Employment; Conflict & Fragility; Governance; Environmental Sustainability & Food Security and Nutrition. The thematic consultation on Governance in particular is a response to an increasing demand from various actors over the past few years, especially civil society, to discuss governance and accountability bottlenecks in the context of the MDGs, and how these gaps could be addressed in a new global development framework. As with all global thematic consultations, this consultation will feed into the UN’s overall post-2015 process and provides the opportunity to advocate for meaningful participation through global outreach which factors in national and local priorities shaped by multiple stakeholders, and championing the universal rights and values enshrined in its charter.
The Global thematic consultation on governance is being co-organised by UNDP (Department of Democratic Governance Group) and OHCHR.
