In the future, single goal driven approaches will have to be replaced by cluster of goals as to promote synergy among them, to manage spillovers and to contain the trade-offs Debapriya Bhattacharya, a senior fellow of CPD.

�New global agenda demands new approaches�

Eminent economist Debapriya Bhattacharya has said implementation of the new global development agenda demands balanced integration of economic, social and environmental dimensions in the national policy frameworks, reports UNB.
“Successful delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will also need to establish greater coherence within global governance structure,” he said while moderating a session at the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) of the United Nations in New York yesterday.
Debapriya Bhattacharya, a senior fellow of the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), also chaired the Southern Voice on Post-MDGs - a network of 49 think tanks drawn from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The HLPF has been created under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nation to provide overall guidance to the implementation of the SDGs - successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The HLPF has been also entrusted with the task of monitoring the progress in SDG achievement during the next 15 years and ensuring accountability of the process.
The SDGs envisage a universal, transformative and inclusive development agenda, said a CPD press release.
Debapriya pointed out that public policy interventions and collective actions on the part of the citizens will be critical in meeting the challenges of SDG implementation.
“In the future, single goal driven approaches will have to be replaced by cluster of goals as to promote synergy among them, to manage spillovers and to contain the trade-offs,” he said, adding that this has to be complemented with institutional reforms and enactment of new legal provisions.
The CPD fellow said one of the important tasks in this regard will be putting in place monitoring and evaluation mechanisms at national, regional and global levels, which can provide evidence-based assessment of the effectiveness of the new agenda. Chaired by Ambassador of Croatia and ECOSOC Vice-President Vladimir Drobnjak.
