| Resumen: |
The current report picks up where
‘A Million Voices’ left off, and looks in
more depth at the factors within each
country that will support or impede
implementation. When negotiators
refer to ‘means of implementation’ they
are often pointing to a set of economic
issues such as the availability of financing
and technologies, as well as a conducive
global policy environment on international
trade and migration.
These important global issues can support,
or through their absence constrain,
the complex process of development.
In the same manner, a host of local and
national factors, such as capacities and
institutions, are also important in the way
they shape or influence development
outcomes. Many of these issues were
raised by people directly in the consultations
so far, and so were identified by the
UNDG as themes for further exploration.
As governments gather in New York
over the next year, seeking to agree a
new global agenda, they should keep in
mind one of the key lessons we learned
from the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs): namely, the importance of
national and local contexts. The Dialogue
on localizing the agenda emphasized
the critical role of local governments, the
diversity of local stakeholders and how
they relate to each other, and the need to
invest in capacities and resources at the
local level for ownership, implementation,
monitoring and accountability. |
