  1. Main outcomes of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development: Sustainable Development Goals An ECA Presentation at the Eighth Session of the Committee on Food Security and Sustainable Development and the Africa Regional Implementation Meeting for the Twentieth Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 19 November 2012

  2. Sustainable development goals Rio+20 underscored the importance of the MDGs and their achievement Recognized importance that SDGs could play, based on Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Action, coherent with and integrated in the post-2015 development agenda Resolved to establish an intergovernmental process to develop global SDGs to submit a report to the 68th GA – open ended working group still under discussion Requested relevant UN system bodies to support Regional Commissions to collect and compile national inputs Committed to mobilizing financial resources and capacity for the SDGs

  3. Sustainable Development Goals… • Africa’s perspective - process • Ensure effective bottom-up consultations to inform global SDG process • Build on the Post-2015 Development Agenda consultations and promote the convergence of the two processes • Africa’s perspective – SDGs: • Universality • Poverty eradication as overarching • Embody the Rio principles particularly the principle of common but differentiated responsibility • Address economic, social, environmental and governance dimensions, as well as means of implementation • Science-based, and allow for tracking progress on SD over time • Clear and measurable targets - regional and national realities • Global Sustainable Development Report – role of the Sustainable Development Report on Africa

  4. SDGs/Post 2015 Development Agenda • Need to avoid duplication and ensure complementarity • In the region, opportunity for coherence and complementarity - principles and core dimensions dovetail • In Africa- partners supporting the processes – AUC, ECA, AfDB, UNDP • Effective, broad-based, bottom-up inclusive consultative process • Ultimately, both processes will need to come together - Africa’s specific circumstance - one set of goals • Timeframe should take into account intergenerational equity issues
