Training of Trainers

In occasion of the Italian Semester of the European Union
Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
In 2000 the Millennium Declaration was signed by the UN Member States, that
committed to reach 8 development goals by 2015:
A new context, new objectives to set out
• The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) did not address to the structural causes of
poverty;
• Inequality and the environmental crisis are rising;
• The economic, financial and job global crisis are hitting the northern countries as
well;
• Problems as poverty, social exclusion, hunger, malnutrition, poor social protection
and climate change persist, are more and more global and therefore require global
solutions;
 The new development agenda will have to respond and address to this new global
context
Two processes…
In 2010 the UN General Assembly
requested UN Secretary-General to
lead the work to advance the new
UN development agenda beyond
2015, when the MDGs will expire
In 2012 the UN General Assembly
decided to launch a parallel
intergovernmental process to define
new Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs)
..and a single Agenda
MDGs vs SDGs:
The main differences
The current challenges
• To adequately measure the progress towards the goals, taking into consideration the
relative efforts of each country, going beyond the GDP measure and the main focus
on economic growth
• To hold all countries accountable for the implementation of the framework, through
an inclusive definition process of the goals, establishing common but differentiated
responsibilities based on national contexts and promoting PCD
• To include the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability, with
an approach based on human-rights, social justice and good governance, to start
structural reforms to define a new sustainable model to address the new global
challenges
• A new global partnership for development to go beyond the North vs South
paradigm, involving all development actors, and introducing accountability
mechanisms, for the private sector as well
