Sustainable Development Goals Report (SDGs _Report)

[vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][vc_column_text 0=””]Sustainable Development Goals Report (SDGs _Report): a tool for mobilization and social dialogue for Sustainable Development Goals, backed by the SMS service. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][vc_column_text 0=””]

CONTEXT

A study realized in 2017 in Cameroon with 2000 persons interviewed in both urban, rural areas (from government, civil society, universities, private sector, and grassroots) revealed that despite the conclusion in 2015 of the 2030 agenda (that provides a clear roadmap for States and the United Nations to lift billions out of poverty, halt climate change and ensure a decent life for all on a sustainable planet) there is a very weak social mobilization of citizens for their achievement and quasi absence of reports. Among the causes of the poor social mobilization around SDGs achievement the study noted:

• Weak outreach and educational approach on the global goals that involves several sectors of the national life including rural sector, minority and vulnerable groups. a lot of people (including youth, women, and minority) know neither the signification of sustainable development goals, nor their content, nor their stakes, nor the role they can play for their achievement. The ignorance is higher in grassroots, rural, minority communities and non-intellectual people

• Insufficient frames of dialogue/ concertation among Government, civil society, private sector, including communities leaders, young people, women and vulnerable groups;

• Weak inclusive monitoring of SDGs: Statistical operations need new methodologies; stakeholders not enough equipped on reporting and monitoring.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column css_animation=”rollIn” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1535748236454{background-color: #95f900 !important;}”][vc_column_text 0=””]

SDGs_REPORT OBJECTIVES

The general objective of the SDG-Report is to create a platform for exchange between decision-makers and the populations through the mobile telephony infrastructure in general and especially SMS technology. This, in order to promote greater social mobilization around development Sustainable Development goals. This initiative is therefore deployed

  • First, to encourage adolescents and young people to express themselves and to find solutions to the problems that concern them and to prepare them to become citizens committed to the development of their country, to provide useful information to adolescents and young people so that they can they share them with their communities, involve adolescents and young people in promoting the use of social services.
  • Then, it is also a question of amplifying the voice of adolescents and young people to foster dialogue with decision-makers and civil society and finally provide information and data on youth issues to feed programming sensitive to their needs.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”rotateIn” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text 0=””]

SDGs_REPORT TARGET

The SDG-Report is open to anyone over the age of 12, registered on the platform and sharing their observations and reflections on the platform around the many development issues that circulate there. This is the goal of the project by building an international community of committed youth called SDGs-Reporters. Thanks to their commitment, the SDGs-Reporters are players for positive change. The right to participation of children and young people is an essential right, because today’s children are the citizens of tomorrow. It is therefore important to consult young people and involve them in decision-making.

SDGs_REPORT MECHANISM

In addition to its dialogic scope that offers stakeholders the opportunity to interact with decision makers to solve the problems, they face daily.  SDGs _Report includes a monitoring/evaluation dimension of interventions. In short, SDG-Report gives people the means to contribute to development by giving their point of view through surveys or thematic consultations, but also by “evaluating” the actions taken in their favor. And in fact, it is also a platform for sharing information on priority topics and themes of national development. This tool is conceived as a response to a need to increase the participation of the populations globally and specifically young people in the life of society. It also takes into account the concern for equity in the interventions directed at the populations.

CONTEXT

Education is a fundamental right and the foundation of progress in all countries. Everyone has the right to education regardless of their skin color, origin and culture. While it is the primary responsibility of States to ensure quality education for all (SDG 4) for children and young people, it is also up to civil society to take initiatives to increase the number of children and young people entitled to quality education.Education one of the keys to development. Successful countries depend on a skilled and educated workforce to face the challenges they face. Desertification, land degradation and drought are among the first environmental challenges facing most African countries. As a consequence of the harmful effect of man on the environment, they have a negative impact on the future of the continent and the planet insofar as they affect mainly young people representing more than 60% of the population and exposed as women to migration, unemployment, epidemics, pandemics, and food insecurity.

The eradication of poverty, the fight against desertification, land degradation and drought and the achievement of sustainable development in the coming decades require us to work hand in hand to support the education of young people to enable the marginalized and excluded from the systems to realize themselves personally, to develop their intrinsic capacities and their potential in the service of their country, their continent and the world.Unconventional education allows individuals, young people and women in particular who have not been able to follow a conventional classical education curriculum, to aspire to healthy, fulfilling, constructive and resilient lives. It helps them to make their voices heard at the community, national and global levels. It opens up new employment and social climbing opportunities. It has a significant impact in many areas of development. It is one of the cornerstones of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The greatest changes are not achieved by solitary actions, but by the resolute collaboration of leaders and communities. Only genuine collaboration can bring real progress in achieving the new global goals of sustainable development. Young people of any background, culture, and social class need to find common ground in their efforts to introduce innovative and sustainable change. The political and financial commitments of countries and donors for education must be secured and renewed in favor of young people to enable them to transform the world to a better place to live. There is an urgent need for closer collaboration among sectors to enable these synergies to develop and take root.The Pan African University Program on Sustainable Development will contribute to (i) achieving the goals of the UN Convention on Desertification and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

VISION AND MISSION

CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

In many cities, inequality is increasing and persistent discrimination limits women and girls to have access to opportunities. Hundreds of women have been driven from their homes. Many communities are facing famine, extreme weather events, poorly managed urbanization, early marriage and childbirth, population growth, water scarcity, armed conflict, gender-based violence, ethnic discrimination, religious or political and increasing violent extremism. At the international level, series of historic agreements were concluded in 2015 – the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN Climate Change Action Program and Addis Ababa third International Conference on Financing for Development – A Better Future-.
These efforts were complemented by the peace resolutions adopted by the General Assembly and the Security Council (Assembly resolution 70/262 and Council resolution 2282 (2016)), as well as the new way of working in emergency and crisis situations. These comprehensive and interdependent agreements, which transcend the pillars of peace, development and human rights of the United Nations, provide a clear roadmap for Member States (African in particular) and the United Nations system.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1534540816441{background-color: #95f900 !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Universal in its coverage, the 2030 Agenda applies to all countries and commits the international community to leave no one behind. The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals will improve the lives of all, prevent natural and man-made crises and lay a solid foundation for human rights, stability, prosperity and peace in all communities. Addressing DLDD will involve long-term integrated strategies that simultaneously focus on the improved productivity of land and the rehabilitation, conservation and sustainable management of land and water resources.
There is a need for states to develop new capabilities and transform working methods to enable more societal responses. There is a need to respond to all of the development challenges of our time, as set out in the 2030 Agenda. It requires greater accountability, greater transparency and control, and calls for greater coherence at all levels, especially through a reinvigorated resident coordinator system.
Conceptually, Global goals ambition requires a “whole-of-government” approach. The current development landscape presents an inspiring range of new actors. Powerful national forces, covering all levels: government, civil society, academia, the scientific community and the private sector, from microenterprises to multinationals, need to come together to fight poverty. This reflects the underlying vision of the global partnership in the 2030 Agenda – where governments, the private sector, civil society and the United Nations work together to mobilize all available resources, which can be a potential asset.
But to realize the promise of a prosperous and peaceful future, these development actors have to find new ways to work together and leverage genuine partnerships that make the most of the expertise, technology and resources for growth sustainable and inclusive.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

The rapid evolution of alternative forms of development cooperation, including the intensification of South-South cooperation to achieve the goals. By promising to leave no one behind, the 2030 Agenda calls for multi-stakeholder collaboration among policymakers, development practitioners and multilateral agencies to ensure that everyone is aware of the existence and substance of the program sustainable development agenda and included in the process of its implementation.

After having made interviews with young leaders in Cameroon an in some African States like Niger, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Comoros Islands, Senegal, Nigeria, Gabon and Morocco, it appears that young people and children feel themselves not very included by Governments in the implementation of sustainable development agenda. Several initiatives put in place by Governments, remain barely visible and known by young people, whose levels of membership remain relatively weak because they do not have the assurance that their aspirations are sufficiently taken into account. There is not a real discussion among vulnerable people, states, civil society, international organizations and the United Nations agencies on sustainable development agenda.

Sustainable development Agenda has been adopted by Government but is still not known by young people, the private sector and many stakeholders who do not always play their role in the implementation. There are young people (even from vulnerable/minority groups) who are doing a great job towards achieving the sustainable development goals. But their initiatives are still not well- known, not supported by Governments, NGOs and private sector. There are very few opportunities for discussion between youths and other stakeholders on the sustainable development agenda.

Despite significant socio-economic growth in recent years, the rise of prosperity and empowerment has not lifted all boats. While the overall proportion of Africans living in poverty is lower than ever, many millions of people still live in extreme poverty.
Desertification/land degradation and drought (DLDD) are challenges of a global dimension. They contribute to and aggravate economic, social and environmental problems such as poverty, poor health, lack of food security, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, reduced resilience to climate change and forced migration. They continue to pose serious challenges to the sustainable development of all countries, particularly affected countries.
In many cities, inequality is increasing and persistent discrimination limits women and girls to have access to opportunities. Hundreds of women have been driven from their homes. Many communities are facing famine, extreme weather events, poorly managed urbanization, early marriage and childbirth, population growth, water scarcity, armed conflict, gender-based violence, ethnic discrimination, religious or political and increasing violent extremism.

There is a need for Cameroon and African states to develop new capabilities and transform working methods to enable more societal responses; there is a need to respond to all of the development challenges of our time, as set out in the 2030 Agenda. It requires greater accountability, greater transparency and control, and calls for greater coherence at all levels, especially through a reinvigorated resident coordinator system.
Eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and end exclusion become a necessity. Strengthening state institutions so that they can effectively deliver services to people is key to helping create decent jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities, especially for young people, and increasing women’s participation. to the labor market, thus enabling people to better manage their future. By addressing the root causes of crises, it is possible to prevent the fraying of the social fabric and consolidate the foundations for peace, prosperity and inclusive societies. Sustainable development builds resilience and supports peace, and sustainable peace enables sustainable development.

The 2030 Agenda represents a paradigm shift, with multiple implications for international cooperation for sustainable development. It aims to complete the unfinished business of the Millennium Development Goals and transform economies and patterns of consumption and production, while protecting the environment and the dignity and rights of all people around the world. It reaffirms the importance of effective institutions, adequate funding and partnerships to achieve sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda, with the transformation it seeks, has important implications for governments, the United Nations and all stakeholders in sustainable development.
Conceptually, Global goals ambition requires a « whole-of-government » approach. The current development landscape presents an inspiring range of new actors.

The problem is that millions of Cameroonians and Africans are left behind when talking about Sustainable Development Goals. NGOs, farmers, women, Scientifics ,community, youth and children, Indigenous Peoples and their communities, business and industry, workers and trade unions do not know the ins and outs of the Sustainable Development Goals. They don’t know the role they play for materialization of the 2030 agenda.
