Ghana and Denmark, was informed by a variety of different inputs,
including:
•
•

themes that emerged from the written submissions. The e-discussion
topics were as follows:
o
o
o
o
o
o

Inequalities
Findings of the Inequalities Consultation:
•
•
•
•
•
The widespread feeling among the Consultation participants is that
Inequalities were poorly addressed in the MDGs as a result on the
expression of targets and the only indicators measuring simple averages.
There is a call for Equality to become the center of the post-2015
framework and for all measurements and indicators to try and reach this
goal
A new framework based on equality, human rights, and sustainability is
advocated
The following solution is proposed for this integration of inequalities
o A specific goal – Eliminate all forms of discrimination and achieve
gender equality
o All other goals must be articulated in a way that seek equality in their
outcomes, including the targets and indicators used to measure those
goals
The group emphasized that both are necessary to be effective
Conflict, Violence, and Disaster
•
•
•
The overall aim is to mobilize global consensus on the
importance of accounting for peace and security in the
successor development framework by addressing the
interrelationships among armed conflict, fragility,
organized violence, disaster and sustainable
development.
This thematic consultation has been broken down into
three regional consultations focusing on Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR), Conflict and Fragility, and Citizen
Security, armed violence and its impact on development
The Consultation was led by the following parties:
UNPBSO, UNICEF, UNISDR, UNDP, and the
Government of Finland
Conflict, Violence, and Disaster
The Conflict, Violence, and Disaster Consultation Group's website has hosted web-based
consultations on the following questions:
•
•

(19-20 February 2013)
HIGH-LEVEL MEETING OF THE GLOBAL THEMATIC CONSULTATION ON CONFLICT,
VIOLENCE AND DISASTER IN THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN
Conflict, Violence, and Disaster
Findings of the Conflict, Violence, and Disaster Consultation:
Post-2015 agenda should address causes and
consequences of conflict, violence, and disasters
Conflict, Violence, and Disasters hit the most vulnerable the
hardest and undo progress towards the MDGs
There are difficulties in identifying all of the root causes of
conflict, violence, and disasters under one overarching
framework
Development that is insensitive to disasters, violence and
conflict can fuel the factors that cause them
Better measures of drivers of conflict, violence, and
vulnerability to disasters is needed
•

Governance
•
•
Governance has been widely recognized as a necessary
precondition and prerequisite for an effective and legitimate
sustainable development framework.
Just governance is defined by six key, mutually-reinforcing
dimensions, each with their associated implications for the
post-2015 sustainable development framework. To be truly
just, governance at all levels must be:
o human rights-centred,
o participatory
o transparent
o equitable
o guaranteeing of access to justice, rule of law and the fight
against corruption
o accountable
Governance

This Consultation was co-convened by UNDP and OHCHR in partnership with the
Government of Germany. The Governance Consultation Group's website has hosted
web-based consultations on the following questions:
•
•
What should be the governance building blocks for a post-2015 agenda?
How can we ensure an accountability framework that takes into account human
rights principles and obligations to assure effective delivery on the post-2015
development agenda?

Findings of the Governance Consultation:
•
•
A key step towards enabling true accountability in the new framework then is to
clearly specify the responsibilities of all actors in development for achieving the
goals.
While not calling for the creation of a specific goal in the post-2015 development
goals they make clear a list of "must-haves" for the new goals:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Clearly lay out enforceable accountability mechanisms, as well as the process for
accountability at the national, regional and global level. This must include national
oversight and independent review mechanisms at the international level.
Include mechanisms for mutual accountability between governments and donors.
Include mechanisms for a governmental peer review process which includes civil society.
Enable citizens in developing countries to hold their governments to account in real time
for progress on commitments made.
Include monitoring mechanisms with measures to disaggregate data so that the impact on
marginalized groups can be properly addressed.
National processes must, in the spirit of democratic ownership, involve meaningful
consultation and scrutiny by parliament and civil society.

the development agenda and the discussion
o Reflect the priorities and perspectives of people directly
affected by poverty and inequality
The need for public-private partnerships, and inter-ministerial and
cross-sectoral collaboration
Assessable by targets and indicators quantitatively measurable;
action-oriented, easy to communicate, and accountable
Support for human rights-based and gender-responsive
approaches to address challenges and opportunities
Overarching Themes
•
•
•
•
The need for a comprehensive, analytical, and much
improved system to measure the impacts of the goals
previously made as well as those to be made in the future
Partnerships and better communication needs to happen
between governments and their citizens to better avoid the
problems identified in the consultations.
Accountability measures need to be in place for all goals in
the post-2015 agenda
Poor governance, inequality, and crisis/conflict are all
interrelated and all need to be addressed in some way,
shape, or form in each of the new development goals
