Education Background: Between 2000 and 2010, there has been impressive progress towards the education-related Millennium Development Goals. More children are enrolled in primary school Gender parity has improved. Doubling of aid to primary education Challenges: Out-of-school children and aid to education static Children of lower secondary school age are still out of school Many children do not complete primary school Focus ignores what people learn Post-2015: The aim is to identify emerging priorities and cross-cutting issues, and outline options for ensuring that education is effectively addressed in the new development framework after 2015.

Consultation process: Led by: UNESCO and UNICEF; Governments of Senegal, Canada and Germany Education Forums: Regional Forums, Global Education For All Meeting E-discussions: Equitable Access to Education; Quality of Learning; Education for Global Citizenship, Jobs and Skills; Governance and Financing of Education Global Meeting: Thematic Consultation on Education in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, March 2013, Dakar, Senegal Focus: Vision of society, the right to basic education, Education and development cannot be considered separately, Regional cooperation and partnerships, Youth, Early childhood development, Quality of education, Flexibility Education

Overall Goal: “Equitable quality lifelong education and learning for all” Prioritising Goals: Equitable Access - universal coverage and basic education (covering nine of years schooling and thus includes lower secondary education) for all children and youth, particularly marginalized and vulnerable groups. Equitable Quality Education - ensuring that all children are prepared for school entry and that children and young people leave school with measurable learning outcomes. o Includes having the skills (literacy & numeracy) o Knowledge and values to be informed, active and productive members of society and the world. Education

Growth and Employment Background: Achieving full employment for all was one of the targets to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty under the Millennium Development Goals. In 2008, there was the inclusion of the new MDG target relating to employment. Challenges: The MDG framework overlooked the fact that growth can be jobless. Short-term growth is slowing and many large economies are faced with the prospects of a low-growth path for the foreseeable future. Post-2015: Act as an anchor in setting global norms and guidelines for policy action, taking into account national economic and social issues, but also global concerns with partnerships, trade, and migration. Prepare for future crisis - strengthen resilience through labour market institutions and other systems, including social protection floors.

Growth and Employment Consultation process: Led by: ILO and UNDP; Government of Japan Growth and Employment Forums: The International Labor Organization (ILO) Conference on Decent Work, G-20 Conference on Sustainable Development E-discussions: Jobs and Livelihoods; Development-led Globalization; Sustainability and Growth; Growth, Diversification & Structural Transformation Global Meeting: Thematic Consultation on Growth and Employment in the Post Development Agenda,15-16 May 2012, Tokyo, Japan Focus: Creating needed jobs, which are productive and decent, for the world economy Provide the right incentives for building productive capacity and boosting agricultural productivity & small-scale enterprises New education skills required for the ‘knowledge economy,’ Involve those in the informal economy

Overall Goal: Create productive and decent jobs for the working poor Growth, structural change, productive capacities, and employment Prioritising Goals: Employment - creation of productive and decent jobs o Access to safe, productive and fairly remunerated work o Address demographic shifts in the labor force/working age population. Growth - serve the improvement of people’s lives o Change the composition of jobs between the formal-informal sector o Within new growth patterns and structure, including the need to move to a low carbon economy and increasing use of technologies. Growth and Employment

Population Dynamics Background: People are at the center of sustainable development Challenges: Main challenges of the 21st century are shaped by powerful population trends Affect economic, development, employment, income distribution, poverty, social protection and pensions Affect efforts to ensure universal access to health, education, housing, sanitation, water, food and energy. Influence the sustainability of cities and rural areas, environmental conditions and climate change Post-2015: Linkages between population dynamics and pressing development challenges, and their concrete implications for development strategies, goals and policies Population dynamics are at the centre of the main development challenges of the 21st century, and must therefore be addressed in the post ‐ 2015 development agenda

Consultation process: Led by: UNFPA, IOM, UNDESA, and UN Habitat; Governments of Bangladesh and Switzerland Regional Population Dynamics for All Forums: Arab, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific E-discussions: Urban Inequalities, human rights-based and gender-responsive approachesUrban Inequalities Global Meeting: Thematic Consultation on Population Dynamics in Post-2015 Agenda, March 2013, Dhaka, Bangladesh Focus: Population Projections & Promote Demographic Transitions Seize the bonuses associated with a youthful population Address human and environmental challenges of urbanization, seize the opportunities provided by an urban world Seize opportunities of internal and international migration Address the challenges and opportunities of population ageing Population Dynamics

Post-2015 Thematic Consultations 1.Environmental Sustainibility 2.Energy 3.Water 4.Hunger, food security, and nutrition 5.Health 6.Education 7.Growth and employment 8.Population dynamics 9. Inequalities 10. Conflict, violence, and disaster 11. Governance Presented by: Reese Oñate

Inequalities This Consultation, led by UNICEF, UN Women, and the Governments of Ghana and Denmark, was informed by a variety of different inputs, including: 175 written submissions covering a wide range of issues related to inequalities A series of 10 moderated “e-discussions” held over 3 – 4 weeks on key themes that emerged from the written submissions. The e-discussion topics were as follows: o Gender equality (372 inputs and comments) o Gender-based violence (138) o Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (101) o Persons with disabilities (111) o Economic inequalities (84) o Indigenous peoples (109) o Young people (241) o Urban inequalities (101) o Minorities (118)

The Inequalities Consultation Group held the following meetings to discuss the role of Inequalities in the post-2015 Agenda: Panel Discussion on Inclusive Post-2015 Development Agenda for Children with Disabilities [14-15 September 2012] Growing Gaps Narrowing Opportunities: The Role of the post-2015 framework in addressing worsening inequalities [12 October 2012] Panel Discussion: Addressing Inequalities faced by minority groups in the post-2015 development agenda [28 November 2012] High-Level Leadership Meeting on Addressing Inequalities [18-19 February 2013] Public Event: How should Inequality feature in a post-2015 agreement? [18 April 2013] Inequalities

Findings of the Inequalities Consultation: The widespread feeling among the Consultation participants is that Inequalities were poorly addressed in the MDGs as a result on the expression of targets and the only indicators measuring simple averages. There is a call for Equality to become the center of the post-2015 framework and for all measurements and indicators to try and reach this goal A new framework based on equality, human rights, and sustainability is advocated The following solution is proposed for this integration of inequalities o A specific goal – Eliminate all forms of discrimination and achieve gender equality o All other goals must be articulated in a way that seek equality in their outcomes, including the targets and indicators used to measure those goals The group emphasized that both are necessary to be effective Inequalities

Conflict, Violence, and Disaster The overall aim is to mobilize global consensus on the importance of accounting for peace and security in the successor development framework by addressing the interrelationships among armed conflict, fragility, organized violence, disaster and sustainable development. This thematic consultation has been broken down into three regional consultations focusing on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Conflict and Fragility, and Citizen Security, armed violence and its impact on development The Consultation was led by the following parties: UNPBSO, UNICEF, UNISDR, UNDP, and the Government of Finland

The Conflict, Violence, and Disaster Consultation Group's website has hosted web-based consultations on the following questions: Gender-based Violence Including Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in Post-2015 Development Goals – What are the Options? (Still Underway) They have also held the following meetings to discuss the role of Conflict, Violence, and Disaster in the post-2015 Agenda The 5 th Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (Informal Plenary Discussion of the Post-2015 DRR Framework and Development Agenda) [22-25 October 2012] Conflict and Fragility and the Post-2015 Development Agenda – Global Thematic Consultation in Monrovia, Liberia [29-30 November 2012] Violence, Citizen Security and the Post-2015 Development Agenda – Global Thematic Consultation in Panama City, Panama [31 Jan. – 1 Feb. 2013] Disaster Risk Reduction and the Post-2015 Development Agenda (Follow-up to the Yogakarta thematic consultation on DRR in October 2012) – Global Thematic Consultation on Disaster Risk Reduction and the Post-2015 Development Agenda in Jakarta, Indonesia (19-20 February 2013) HIGH-LEVEL MEETING OF THE GLOBAL THEMATIC CONSULTATION ON CONFLICT, VIOLENCE AND DISASTER IN THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN HELSINKI, FINLAND [13 March 2013] Conflict, Violence, and Disaster

Findings of the Conflict, Violence, and Disaster Consultation: Post-2015 agenda should address causes and consequences of conflict, violence, and disasters Conflict, Violence, and Disasters hit the most vulnerable the hardest and undo progress towards the MDGs There are difficulties in identifying all of the root causes of conflict, violence, and disasters under one overarching framework Development that is insensitive to disasters, violence and conflict can fuel the factors that cause them Better measures of drivers of conflict, violence, and vulnerability to disasters is needed Conflict, Violence, and Disaster

Governance Governance has been widely recognized as a necessary precondition and prerequisite for an effective and legitimate sustainable development framework. Just governance is defined by six key, mutually-reinforcing dimensions, each with their associated implications for the post-2015 sustainable development framework. To be truly just, governance at all levels must be: o human rights-centred, o participatory o transparent o equitable o guaranteeing of access to justice, rule of law and the fight against corruption o accountable

Governance This Consultation was co-convened by UNDP and OHCHR in partnership with the Government of Germany. The Governance Consultation Group's website has hosted web-based consultations on the following questions: What should be the governance building blocks for a post-2015 agenda? How can we ensure an accountability framework that takes into account human rights principles and obligations to assure effective delivery on the post-2015 development agenda? They have also held the following meetings to discuss the role of Governance in the post Agenda Africa Regional Dialogue [11-12 October 2012] 15 th International Anti-Corruption Conference [7-10 November 2012] Arab Governance Week [26-29 November 2012] Governance and Human Rights: Criteria and Measurement Proposals for a Post-2015 Development Agenda [13-14 November 2012] Development Finance and the Post-2015 Framework [24 February 2013] African Thematic Consultation [26-27 February 2013] Final Meeting of the Global Thematic Consultation on Governance and the post-2015 Development Framework [28 Feb. – 1 Mar. 2013] Governance

Findings of the Governance Consultation: A key step towards enabling true accountability in the new framework then is to clearly specify the responsibilities of all actors in development for achieving the goals. While not calling for the creation of a specific goal in the post-2015 development goals they make clear a list of "must-haves" for the new goals: o Clearly lay out enforceable accountability mechanisms, as well as the process for accountability at the national, regional and global level. This must include national oversight and independent review mechanisms at the international level. o Include mechanisms for mutual accountability between governments and donors. o Include mechanisms for a governmental peer review process which includes civil society. o Enable citizens in developing countries to hold their governments to account in real time for progress on commitments made. o Include monitoring mechanisms with measures to disaggregate data so that the impact on marginalized groups can be properly addressed. o National processes must, in the spirit of democratic ownership, involve meaningful consultation and scrutiny by parliament and civil society. Governance

Questions?

Wrapping up Conclusions from the Thematic Consultations Selected participants from civil society and the private sector Next steps

Overarching Themes Shared priority in environmental sustainability, energy, and water consultations: o Cross-cutting interlinkages across all thematic issues o Integration, integration, integration Success depends on: o Designing agenda through a participatory and inclusive process o Ensuring a wide range of stakeholders around the world are heard o Rallying international support and commitment to action o Requiring commitments from governments, civil society, and private sector

Overarching Themes Human dignity, equality, and equity People centered and rights-based approach with attention to sustainability, good governance, and policy coherence Goals, targets, and indicators should have universal relevance Goals need to be limited in number, convincing, clear, easy to communicate, measurable, time bound, and achievable Framework should accelerate progress towards MDG targets not yet reached Countries should be given more flexibility More investment in improving access to reliable and timely data and information Progress should be reviewed at the global level every 5 years

Overarching Themes Poverty elimination and human development Three pillars of the inclusive and holistic sustainable development framework: economic, environmental, and social Putting humans, especially those most vulnerable, at the center of the development agenda and the discussion o Reflect the priorities and perspectives of people directly affected by poverty and inequality The need for public-private partnerships, and inter-ministerial and cross-sectoral collaboration Assessable by targets and indicators quantitatively measurable; action-oriented, easy to communicate, and accountable Support for human rights-based and gender-responsive approaches to address challenges and opportunities
