Framework
for the
future
Shaping an inspiring &
implementable post2015 framework
Lisa Wise
We could be the generation…
• Proposition: an end to dimensions of extreme
poverty by 2030.
• Supported by Save the Children research:
Getting to Zero
– Poverty reduction could accelerate if income
inequality is reduced and governance indicators
improve.
 We need a bold, ambitious and inspiring post2015 framework to galvanise action.
What would such a
framework look like?
• Build on the strength of the MDGs:
– Focused, concise, outcome-oriented.
• Recognise the need for trade-offs and difficult
decisions.
• Fill critical gaps and address weaknesses of the
MDGs.
• Harness synergies between goal areas.
Internal process
• Capturing the breadth of experience and
expertise from across Save the Children.
– Members, Global Initiatives, country offices.
• Drawing on inputs from UN thematic and civil
society consultations, High Level Panel, SDSN,
Global Compact, Beyond 2015.
• Feeding in outcomes from children’s
consultations.
Framework for the future
Key elements of the
framework
1) Zero goals to end extreme poverty
•
•
•
•
End hunger
Eradicate preventable newborn, child and maternal deaths
All children go to school and learn
All children have access to safe water and sanitation
2) GOALS TO FILL GAPS IN THE MDGS
• Child protection and violence against children
• A transformative approach to gender equality
• A standalone governance goal
Key elements of the
framework
3) INTEGRATING THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL
DIMENSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT
• Standalone goals on sustainable energy, disaster resilience, healthy
environment and climate change.
• Integrating environmental sustainability targets into human
development goals.
• Target links to harness synergies.
4) Balancing Universality & ownership
• All goals and targets are universal, and all governments have
responsibilities to fulfil them.
• Exact thresholds of success may vary from country to country.
Key elements of the
framework
5) EMBEDDING EQUITY IN EVERY FIBRE OF THE FRAMEWORK
• No child must be left behind under the new framework
• No target met unless met for all.
• Interim equity ‘stepping stone’ targets to reduce gaps between
the most and least advantaged groups in society.
• Plus:
• Specific targets to tackle critical, cross-cutting dimensions of
inequality (e.g. income inequality and gender inequality).
• Targets to incentivise policies that reduce inequalities (e.g.
social protection floors, universal health coverage, universal
education).
DELIVERY AND ACTION
• Global partnerships goal
• Participatory accountability
mechanism
• A data revolution to track progress
and bolster accountability.
How likely is success?
• Open Working Group proposal: 17 goals, 169
targets.
– Is it implementable, will it focus action?
– What will UN Secretary General recommend?
We could be the generation…
• Process for negotiation still unclear.
• Key fault lines:
– Means of implementation and FFD
– Governance, peace and stability
– Climate change
The challenge: Inspiring
action to get to zero
