4. 20 th Century: Great accomplishments- much remains to be done. Major concern areas: Gross disparities of wealth and opportunity in today’s world Miserable conditions in which well over a billion people live Prevalence of endemic conflict in some regions Rapid degradation of the natural environment The present model of development is unsustainable, unless remedial measures are taken by common agreement. Developing countries will not be able to address their challenges without help on trade, aid and debt relief from developed countries. Surveys of public opinion across six continents confirm that such measures are what people want for a better world for all. Slide 4: What led to Global Compacts ?

5. Slide 5: What is inside the Global Compacts ? Shared values, principles, objectives Recognition that a better world for all requires global partnerships Respective actions that developing and developed countries are committed to take Monitorable targets and progress review mechanisms Partnerships

Slide 9: Monterrey Consensus Signaled Importance of Quantity and Quality of Aid  Prompted the pledging of additional ODA of $18.5bn per year to be fully phased in by 2006  Stressed need to create an enabling domestic environment to mobilize domestic resources  Called for more effective ODA (harmonization, untying, poverty focus, result orientation, PRSP ownership)  Recognized urgent need to strengthen inter-institutional collaboration  Interactions between ECOSOC and Bank/IMF Boards on follow up  UN, BWI and WTO to address issues of coherence, coordination and cooperation

Historic Common Ground:  International community has set clear and measurable international development goals-MDG, Monterrey,WSSD  Agreement that additional financing from donors will be needed for helping achieve these goals. This reverses the decline in real terms for ODA over the last 20 years.  Mutual obligations of the developed and developing countries have been spelled out in the declarations.  Civil society, youth and other non-state actors have been more closely integrated into global decision making- new multilateralism.
