Presentation by Ms. Alicia Barcena New York, UNHQs, ECOSOC Chamber, ECOSOC Operational Activities Segment Panel on Improving the Governance and Coordination of the UN Development System Presentation by Ms. Alicia Barcena Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) New York, UNHQs, ECOSOC Chamber, 1 March 2017

SIX PILLARS FOR ACTION AND COORDINATION AMONG THE UNDS National, interinstitutional and intersectoral architecture at the highest level Integrating the SDGs into national development plans and budgets, including investment Strengthening statistical capacities Means of implementation: finance, technology, trade, accountability Strengthening the regional architecture: observatories on gender equality, planning and energy Change the conversation between State, the market and civil society around Agenda 2030

Global challenges on MOIs Geopolitical adjustments in international trade, financing and technology The fourth industrial revolution: robotics, ICTs, biotechnology and nanotechnology The future of work Climate change Growing inequality The demographic transition and migration Slow economic growth and financial uncertainties

Strengthen the Regional Architecture Regional Commissions’ subsidiary bodies: Statistics, Women, Population, Science and Technology, Social Development, Planning, CDCC, Cooperation Tapping into the existing regional architecture : CELAC, CARICOM, UNASUR – African Union, RECs – League of Arab States – ASEAN etc and other UN agencies Regional Sustainable Development Forums as a platform to follow the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and debate regional priorities on sustainable development Integrating the 2030 Agenda into the work of the subsidiary bodies of ECLAC to ensure comprehensive support is provided to countries for its implementation Regional Conference on Population and Development (with UNFPA) Regional Conference on Women (with UN-Women) Statistical Conference of the Americas (with DESA) Regional Conference on Social Development (with UNDP) Conference on Science, Innovation and ICTs (with UNIDO and ITU) Regional Council for Planning of ILPES and regional training courses (with UNDP) Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee Committee on South-South Cooperation Making use of the existing regional architecture in collaboration with other regional agencies (CELAC, CARICOM, UNASUR) and in coordination with other United Nations bodies through the Regional Coordination Mechanism

Governance at the regional level This slide illustrates the governance structure in the LAC region that feeds into the Forum of Latin America and Caribbean Countries on Sustainable Development. The Forum is mandated by ECLAC membership as kindly referred to by minister Barraza yesterday morning.   The Forum provides a country led inclusive platform for peer learning and interface between national and global levels. It is anchored in national experiences and regional and sub-regional contexts, supported by regional analysis, and feed in turn into the High-level Political Forum (HLPF). This rich architecture is often a vehicle for coherent policy formulation and consensus building in the region. Its impact is translated in effective policy formulation at the national level (e.g. Regional conference of statistics leads, among others, to harmonization of methodologies and data collection at country level). The regional governance architecture is also often a facilitator of decision making at the global level (e.g. the agreement on the global indicators framework for the SDGs was built in the regions.) The slide demonstrates as well the natural interface between the sectoral committees of the Regional Commissions and the functional commissions of ECOSOC, among others. While the slide is for the LAC region, the regional forums on sustainable development are convened by all the Regional Commissions and similar adapted rich governance architecture exists in all the regions. My message on governance today is that the more you, Member States, leverage the regional architecture to provide through it your guidance, exercise your oversight, and held us - the UNS - accountable, at the subregional and regional levels, the more effective and impactful our delivery would be in supporting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and the smoother would be your global decision-making and exercise of governance at the global level.

The slide illustrates the current coordination structure in Africa The slide illustrates the current coordination structure in Africa. Again, this is only for illustrative purpose fully recognizing diversity in the regions while stressing that the Regional Coordination Mechanism exist in all regions based on your ECOSOC resolution 1998/46.   As you can see, the slide demonstrates the functions and structure of the Regional Coordination Mechanism in Africa. The joint secretariat between the AUC, the AfDB and ECA, ensures coherence among the three pan continental institutions. It builds on recently established subregional RCMs where the Regional Economic Communities in Africa are main partners. RCM/Africa pursues alignment between the Africa 2063 Agenda and the global 2030 Agenda, ensures policy coherence and analysis in the region, and promotes targeted regional and sub-regional programmes. Members of the entire regional UN development system are active participants in RCM in addition to being members of the regional UNDG internal coordination structure that provides technical operational support to the resident coordinators and UNCTs. It is worth noting Note that the thematic working Groups of RCM/Africa include WGs on Governance as well as on peace and security. In a way, Africa was ahead of the SDGs in that regard. Worth noting also the Partnership on Africa’s integration and Development Agenda (PAIDA, 2017-2027), which represents a system-wide framework anchored on and aligned to the aspirations and goals of Agenda 2063 and integrates the objectives and goals of other major continental socio-economic development frameworks such as NEPAD. It is also closely aligned to the 2030 Agenda.    The Statement of Collaboration between the Chair of UNDG and the heads of the Regional Commissions, which you had clearly requested its full implementation in the last QCPR, commits, among others, to enhanced cooperation in the regions between the RCMs and the relevant regional UNDG team to enhance the impact of UN development activities in response to regional and subregional priorities of Member States. We are committed to heed your guidance in this regard and we will be reporting back to you through the follow up to QCPR on the measures undertaken in this regard. In addition, and as the DSG emphasized, focus will be more on results and less on process. Let me also suggest that a better and perhaps more institutionalized interaction between the regional and global coordination structures may also assist in improved coherence within the broader UNS.
