UNDP’s SDG Experiences (Lessons & Recommendations for SIDS) PRESENTER: RICHARD KELLY, UNDP

Key Lessons: The Environment Is Uncertain From puzzles to mysteries systemic or structural challenges – ‘wicked’ or complex problems – across the three dimensions of sustainable development and/or the humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus from micro macro problem-solving from incremental transformational change

The Sustainable Development Approach 3D Thinking: The Sustainable Development Approach 1 D Thinking

Mapping SAMOA Pathway to the 2030 Agenda UNDP provides direct support to the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) Secretariat. AOSIS provides a political platform to voice the needs and position of SIDS across the intergovernmental process. Emphasis on economic growth and decent work for all, with strong reference to poverty reduction and sustainable tourism (direct links to SDG-1 on poverty; SDG-8 on jobs and growth; access to energy SDG-7, and infrastructure SDG-9) Impact of climate change and the vulnerabilities of islands to extreme weather events, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, ocean acidification, and food insecurity (direct links to SDG-13 on climate; SDG-2 on hunger; SDG-14 on oceans, SDG-15 on life on land) – relevance to the commitments made at COP-21 in Paris Means of implementation under the SAMOA Pathway maps very well against the 2030 Agenda: financing, partnerships, trade, capacity, building, data and statistics, technology, monitoring and accountability… Clear links to the Sendai Framework on DRR – given the relevance of early warning systems, need for technical assistance for post-disaster response and recovery, disaster preparedness etc.

The Rapid Integrated Assessment (RIA), Jamaica Considering all planning documents, sectoral plans, out of 115 targets 105 fully or partially reflected (91.3%) For Vision 2030 and MTF, out of 115 targets: 89 targets fully or partially reflected (77%)

A ROADMAP TOWARD SDG IMPLEMENTATION 5. Adapt SDG targets to local realities and priorities 1. Review existing strategies and plans 2. Establish an institutional coordination mechanism (inclusive process) 3. Set baselines for SDG status and coverage 4. Identify and prioritize ‘clusters’ of investments – aligned with the SDGs 6. Launch needs assessment for each SDG Cluster ‘combo’ 7. Define tracking indicators for each SDG Cluster ‘combo’ 8.Formulate a budget framework and a financing strategy 9. Prepare a national development strategy 10. Design a M&E Framework INNOVATION AND PARTNERSHIPS

UN Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Amina J. Mohammed The 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved by Governments alone.
