Bulgaria and Croatia
Indicative debate on consolidation of focus areas, focussing on possible goals and targets:
Means of implementation/Global partnership for sustainable development
Key Notes on behalf of Bulgaria and Croatia
Mr. Co-Chair,
I have the honour to speak on behalf of Bulgaria and Croatia.
We fully recognise the importance of defining the means of implementation. They are also in the focus of the Major groups and the civil society to whom we are particularly grateful for a number of interesting as well as promising suggestions so far. This additionally proves the need and the value of establishing new global partnership for the transformational success of the post-2015 framework.
In order for the Global partnership to contribute to the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda effectively, all partners should be made aware of and promote the paradigm shift from aid effectiveness to effective development cooperation.
There is no one-size fits all. In building partnerships a creative and flexible approach should be followed and the relationships between all partners should be kept dynamic ensuring that they are adjusting to ever changing circumstances.
Civil society has proven its leverage in promoting a long-term vision of change which contributes to the transformation of the poor from clients dependant on patronage to active citizens with rights, entitlements and responsibilities. Through this new/old development paradigm, which relies on the human agency, opportunities for the people should be created enabling them to develop capabilities to their fullest potential.
Business sector is in particular the driving force of the global economic growth, job creation and technological advancement needed to address global problems. In this regard national and international initiatives for strengthening the public-private partnerships should be promoted by the UN regional commissions.
We need to stay fully mindful of other international activities and mechanisms, such as the Monterrey/Doha processes, the Intergovernmental Expert Committee on Sustainable Development Financing, including Busan Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation and Istanbul and Mexico conferences.
Business and civil society core objectives should be aligned through enhancement of shared value delivery along the breadth of the value chain, sustainable consumption and production patterns, and corporate social and environmental responsibility.
Further, and as we have already stated this week, in our work within the OWG, we would prefer to make advancements regarding specific goals and targets before we move on with discussions on the details of means of implementation. This topic we would like to have under single agenda item rather than have it been dispersed under different SDGs talks. With this in mind we would like to thank Co-chairs for dedicating a single session for sharing views on this subject.
Finally, we believe that Post-2015 agenda should be universal and that goals and targets should be applicable to all countries taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development. At the same time all countries need to contribute their fair share and to take action to implement internationally agreed policy commitments, goals and targets.
Crucial principles in this regard are: mutual accountability and transparency, a result oriented approach and comprehensive monitoring to ensure effective use of resources.
Thank you.
