Education

Background:

Between 2000 and 2010, there has been impressive progress towards the education-related Millennium Development Goals.

More children are enrolled in primary school

Gender parity has improved.

Doubling of aid to primary education

Challenges:

Out-of-school children and aid to education static

Children of lower secondary school age are still out of school

Many children do not complete primary school

Focus ignores what people learn

Post-2015:

The aim is to identify emerging priorities and cross-cutting issues, and outline options for ensuring that education is effectively addressed in the new development framework after 2015.

Consultation process:

Led b y : UNESCO and UNICEF; Governments of Senegal, Canada and Germany

Education Forums: Regional Forums, Global Education For All Meeting

E-discussions: Equitable Access to Education; Quality of Learning; Education for

Global Citizenship, Jobs and Skills; Governance and Financing of Education

Global Meeting: Thematic Consultation on Education in the Post-2015

Development Agenda, 18-19 March 2013, Dakar, Senegal

Youth, Early childhood development, Quality of education, Flexibility

Education

Overall Goal:

• “

Equitable quality lifelong education and learning for all ”

Prioritising Goals:

Equitable Access - universal coverage and basic education (covering nine of years schooling and thus includes lower secondary education) for all children and youth, particularly marginalized and vulnerable groups.

Growth and Employment

Background:

Achieving full employment for all was one of the targets to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty under the Millennium Development Goals.

In 2008, there was the inclusion of the new MDG target relating to employment.

Challenges:

The MDG framework overlooked the fact that growth can be jobless.

Short-term growth is slowing and many large economies are faced with the prospects of a low-growth path for the foreseeable future.

Post-2015:

Act as an anchor in setting global norms and guidelines for policy action, taking into account national economic and social issues, but also global concerns with partnerships, trade, and migration.

Prepare for future crisis - strengthen resilience through labour market institutions and other systems, including social protection floors.

Challenges: Main challenges of the 21st century are shaped by powerful population trends

Affect economic, development, employment, income distribution, poverty, social protection and pensions

Affect efforts to ensure universal access to health, education, housing, sanitation, water, food and energy.

Influence the sustainability of cities and rural areas, environmental conditions and climate change

Post-2015:

Linkages between population dynamics and pressing development challenges, and their concrete implications for development strategies, goals and policies

Population dynamics are at the centre of the main development challenges of the

21st century, and must therefore be addressed in the post ‐ 2015 development agenda

Inequalities

This Consultation, led by UNICEF, UN Women, and the Governments of

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

175 written submissions covering a wide range of issues related to inequalities

A series of 10 moderated “e-discussions” held over 3 – 4 weeks on key themes that emerged from the written submissions. The e-discussion topics were as follows: o Gender equality (372 inputs and comments) o Gender-based violence (138) o Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (101) o Persons with disabilities (111) o Economic inequalities (84) o Indigenous peoples (109) o Young people (241) o Urban inequalities (101) o Minorities (118)

Inequalities

The Inequalities Consultation Group held the following meetings to discuss the role of Inequalities in the post-2015 Agenda:

Panel Discussion on Inclusive Post-2015 Development

Agenda for Children with Disabilities [14-15 September

2012]

Growing Gaps Narrowing Opportunities: The Role of the post-2015 framework in addressing worsening inequalities

[12 October 2012]

2012]

High-Level Leadership Meeting on Addressing Inequalities

[18-19 February 2013]

Public Event: How should Inequality feature in a post-2015 agreement? [18 April 2013]

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:

Gender-based Violence

Including Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in Post-2015 Development Goals – What are the Options? (Still Underway)

They have also held the following meetings to discuss the role of Conflict, Violence, and

Disaster in the post-2015 Agenda

HIGH-LEVEL MEETING OF THE GLOBAL THEMATIC CONSULTATION ON CONFLICT,

VIOLENCE AND DISASTER IN THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN

HELSINKI, FINLAND [13 March 2013]

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?

They have also held the following meetings to discuss the role of Governance in the post-

2015 Agenda

Africa Regional Dialogue [11-12 October 2012]

15 th International Anti-Corruption Conference [7-10 November 2012]

Final Meeting of the Global Thematic Consultation on Governance and the post-2015 Development Framework [28 Feb.

– 1 Mar. 2013]

Governance

Governance

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

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.

o

Include mechanisms for mutual accountability between governments and donors.

o

Include mechanisms for a governmental peer review process which includes civil society.

o

Enable citizens in developing countries to hold their governments to account in real time for progress on commitments made.

o

Include monitoring mechanisms with measures to disaggregate data so that the impact on marginalized groups can be properly addressed.

o

National processes must, in the spirit of democratic ownership, involve meaningful consultation and scrutiny by parliament and civil society.

Wrapping up

Conclusions from the Thematic

Consultations

Selected participants from civil society and the private sector

Next steps

Overarching Themes

Shared priority in environmental sustainability, energy, and water consultations: o Cross-cutting interlinkages across all thematic issues o Integration, integration, integration

Success depends on: o Designing agenda through a participatory and inclusive process o Ensuring a wide range of stakeholders around the world are heard o Rallying international support and commitment to action o Requiring commitments from governments, civil society, and private sector

Overarching Themes

Human dignity, equality, and equity

People centered and rights-based approach with attention to sustainability, good governance, and policy coherence

Goals, targets, and indicators should have universal relevance

Goals need to be limited in number, convincing, clear, easy to communicate, measurable, time bound, and achievable

Framework should accelerate progress towards MDG targets not yet reached

Countries should be given more flexibility

More investment in improving access to reliable and timely data and information

Progress should be reviewed at the global level every 5 years

Overarching Themes

Poverty elimination and human development

Three pillars of the inclusive and holistic sustainable development framework: economic, environmental, and social

Putting humans, especially those most vulnerable, at the center of 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

Thematic Consultations

Conclusions

Participatory and multi-stakeholder – inputs and outputs

Cross-cutting linkages, universal relevance but limited number

Human rights, gender equality, sustainability but also

Most active – water, inequalities, healthy lifestyles, jobs
