Lessons learned from Finland

• Invest in long-term work – changes don’t come overnight

• Process is as important as the product

• Functional governance for sustainable development is a prerequisite for results and success

• Ensure high-level leadership but don’t politicize sustainable development

• Ensure solid coordination and process management but create ownership within the line ministries

• Partner in an open dialogue with the civil society and other stakeholders; they play watchdogs and lobbyists but also top experts in their fields

• Avoid two-track approach by ensuring policy coherence between domestic and international action

• Invest in communication, visualization and concretization

• Don’t insist on but inspire others!

POSITIVE IMPACTS OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT


Social EnvironmentalEconomic

Based on a comprehensive review of armed conflicts around the globe, a year in peace represents an additional growth of Colombia’s GDP between 1.1 and 1.9

%.

For each year in peace, Colombia saves 7,1 billion in environmental costs caused by the armed

conflict.The three main causes of environmental degradation due to armed conflict are:

Implementation in areas most affected by the conflict, presence of illicit economies, high levels of poverty and low institutional

capacity.

Implementing the SDGs: Uganda’s story

Successes, Challenges, and Roles of stakeholders

Paul Okitoi

National Planning Authority, Uganda.

Presentation Outline

1. Uganda's political commitment

2. Legal and regulatory frameworks

3. Planning frameworks

4. Implementation and coordination arrangements

5. Challenges and gaps

6. Lessons learned

Uganda's Political commitment

Uganda has strong political commitment the SDG agenda:

participated in the adoption of the 2030 Agenda.

volunteered to review its readiness to implementation of

2030 Agenda.

Signed off and rallied support for NDPII which integrated

SDGs.

Held Cabinet briefing on 2030 Agenda (2015).

First country to hold high level dialogue on financing for

sustainable development (2015) after Addis Ababa Action

Agenda.

Uganda has a parliamentary forum for SDGs

Legal, Regulatory and planning frameworks

The existing legal and policy frameworks are quite

adequate to support the realization of environmental,

social and economic dimensions of SD.

Uganda’s medium term national planning framework

coincided with the SDGs Agenda.

Gov’t of Uganda formally integrated SDGs at strategic

direction, intervention and partially at measurement

levels - SDGs informed NDPII.

At national level, the NDPII integrated SDGs and as a

result 76% of SDGs were aligned to the NDPII (UNDAF,

2015).

Integration of SDGs

NDPII is in line with Agenda 2030 at an alignment rate of

76%.(Source: UNDAF 2016-2020)

Implementation arrangements

SDGs are being implemented within the existing frameworks

of Government.

Changes in policy frameworks are being effected to

stimulate investment towards delivery of SDGs e.g.

reduction on taxes for solar products.

Partnerships are being strengthened with Private Sector,

CSOs, Development Partners.

Government has approved a coordination arrangement to

guide implementation.

The Coordination Framework

35

Challenges and GapsCapacity gaps required to deliver the agenda i.e.

integration, alignment in planning and budgetingprocess.

Implementation challenges related to core projectsi.e. Project preparation, execution.

Absence of baseline data for some indicators. Out ofthe 230 indicators, data is available for 80 (35%) dueto mismatch between national and global level data;differences in concepts, definitions, methodology, datasources and weak coordination within the statisticalsystem.

Lack of an integrated M&E system for trackingprogress

Preliminary lessons

An enabling environment and strong leadership at all

levels is critical.

Policy, planning and legal instruments are a means

rather than an end in achieving SDGs.

Recognition of vital roles played by non-state actors to

compliment Gov’t efforts and act as development actors

in their own right is critical esp. in;

Raising awareness,

Resource mobilization,

Monitoring and flagging areas for improvement.

Private sector role is key.

United Nations -Agenda 2030 for Sust. Dev.September 2015

German Federal Cabinet –German Sustainability StrategyNew Edition January 2017

• German Sustainability Strategy as „essential frame“ for implementing UN-Agenda 2030

• First edition SD-Strategy 2002, revised every 4 years

• The overarching strategy of the German government; responsible is Chancellors Office and Cabinet

• Encompassing all national and international policy fields of the German government

Background of Implementation

• Agenda 2030 is the global future contract of societies, nations and individuums and the vision of enhanced life quality for all –not only one more UN declaration

• Political commitment to care about people (not power), the planet (not egocentric happiness), peace (not xenophobia), prosperity (not profit /myopic growth), partnership (not nationalism)

• Sustainability policy commits itself to be - democratic (participative, peaceful conflict resolution), - inclusive (whole of government and society approach), - consistent (systemic, effective and efficient) and - evidence-based (transparency, accountability)

Framing of the Implementation

• Vision: Addressing the „five ps“ of Agenda 2030 as framing of Germany‘s future sustainability policy

• Accountability: Structuring political goals, measures and monitoring along the 17 SDG‘s and linking them systematically with future actions

• Systemic approach: Addressing national, international and intertwined processes: sustainability efforts in, by and with Germany

• Inclusiveness: Encompassing whole of government & society: all sectors & levels, stakeholder & policy actors

Structural Aspects of Implementation

• Human dignity and planetary carrying capacity as basic conditions for any future development

• Around 60 policy goals and targets in all relevant fields of societal, economic and ecological wealth, oriented towards 2030 and measurable by robust statistical methods

• Strengthening management and monitoring, vertical and horizontal policy coherency and the participation of society, science and international partners in formulating and implementing SD policy

Content Aspects of Implementation

Management and Monitoring

• 60 quantitative indicators for 17 SD Goals across all policy fields

• continuous set with annual datamostly since 1990

• long-term objectives (2020/30/50)

• published bi-annually

• independent analysis and reporting by the Federal Statistical Office

• most demanded publication of the Federal Statistical Office

Further Implementation Measures

• Strengthening SD coordination in every ministry & between ministries & within parliament

• Fostering stakeholder participation concerning steering, designing and monitoring SD policy

• Starting an internationally linked science platform on national implementation of Agenda 2030 (IASS Potsdam)

• Ministries reshaping their policy programmes (e.g. Integrated Environmental Programme 2030Ministry for the Environment …) & public procurement

• Private companies starting systematic implementation
