Building blocks of the new agenda:
Work in progress…
Member states:

• SDGs and targets (OWG 17 Goals and 169
targets), informed by the discussions on
indicators (TST and UN Statistics Commission)
• Means of implementation and global partnership
(in Financing for Development
• Follow up and review
UN/UNDG
• Delivery: UN Fit for Purpose
Timeline
• Feb17-20: IGN P2015 - Declaration

SG’s vision: 6 essential elements

across the report
Next step 1: Controlled “technical
proofing” of the targets?
• Level of ambition: Does it fall below already
existing agreements and international law
• Consistency: Does it duplicate or is inconsistent
with other targets?
• Measurability, “implementability”: Is it precise,
specific, measurable and action orientated?
• Outcome, process, policy statements?
OWG SDGs document: SP Targets
• Poverty: 1.3 implement nationally appropriate social
protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and
by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the
vulnerable
• Health: 3.8 achieve universal health coverage (UHC),
including financial risk protection, access to quality essential
health care services, and access to safe, effective, quality, and
affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all
• Gender: 5.4 recognize and value unpaid care and domestic
work through the provision of public services, infrastructure
and social protection policies, and the promotion of shared
responsibility within the household and the family as
nationally appropriate
• Inequality: 10.4 adopt policies especially fiscal, wage, and
social protection policies and progressively achieve greater
equality
Framing target 1.3…
• Outcome: By 2030 achieve substantial social
protection coverage of the poor and vulnerable
▫ What is substantial?
▫ Level of ambition: to reach out poor and vulnerable or to
prevent poverty and vulnerability?
▫ How to define SP coverage? Legal x Effective; Eligible x
Recipients; contigencies
• Process/action: implement nationally appropriate
social protection systems and measures for all,
including floors
▫ Comprehensiveness – systems, measures and floors
▫ Appropriateness = adequacy
▫ For all = universal policies
• Consistency
Next step 2: Defining global indicators
(UNSC)
• A global set of core indicators, accompanied by
complementary national indicators
• One indicator per target, max 120 indicators for
the overall framework (!)
• Relevance
• Measurability
• Methodological soundness
• Easy to understand and communicate (avoid
composite indicators)
• Level of disaggregation
• Availability (not a constraint)
Next step 3: Means of
Implementation and financing
• Define baselines
• Costing/financial forecasts
• Fiscal space/debt sustainability analysis (IMFWB-ILO-UNICEF-UNDP)
• Domestic resources mobilization strategies
• Issues-based resources pooling and funding
mechanisms
• Financing for development – Global Social
Protection Floor Fund
Next step 4: Monitoring and follow up
• Based on already existing mechanisms, data
bases and reports
• National, country-led, multi-stakeholder
participation, supported by UN/IFIs
• Regional supported by the Commissions
• Global hosted by the High Level Political Forum
(HLPF), including:
▫ Thematic component, built on existing issuesbased accountability platforms and coordination
mechanisms (SPIAC-B, GMG, etc)
▫ Global partnership review
Next step 5: Delivering
• Normative frameworks integrated with operational
activities (ILO Recommendation 202, and
Conventions)
• Shift focus from developing countries to universal
• Integrated and coherent system-wide policies and
strategies
• Multi-stakeholder engagement, partnerships and
issue-based coalitions
• Integrated business models, including operational
modalities, funding and transparency
• Common assessment tools
Final remarks: Implications
• Strong call for policy coherence, coordination and
integration
• Comprehensive agenda will lead to prioritization and
sequencing at country level: SP advocacy is needed
• Link normative and operational
• Policy and programming framework will be aligned with
the SD goals, targets and indicators
• Multi-stakeholder partnerships and funding raising
strategies consistent with SDGs
• Deeper integration and joint-programming at country
level aligned with national sustainable development
plans.
• Issues-based coalition such as the SPIAC-B will need to
be strengthened
