THE END

-OPEN, INCLUSIVE, ACCOUNTABLE AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE IS KEY TO ACHEVING THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.-THE HIGH LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM (HLPF) IS SLATED TO BE THE GLOBAL PLATFORM FOR POST-2015 FOLLOW-UP AND REVIEW

-UNGA RESOLUTION 67/290.- RECOMMENDATIONS ON MONITORING OF GENDER EQUALITY FOR AGENDA 2030 AND LINKING TO THE HLPF

ON ACCOUNTABILITY

ACCOUNTABILITY ACCELERATES YOUR

PERFORMANCE. HELPS YOU MEASURE YOUR SUCCESS AND PROGRESS.

KEEPS YOU FOCUSED KEEP YOU RESPONSIBLE

VALIDATE OUR THOUGHTS, IDEAS, PLANNING AND

ACTION.

BENEFITS OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

-CSW MUST DEVELOP ITS THEMES TO ENSURE CLEAR LINKAGES TO

RELEVANT SDGS IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN IMPLEMENTATION AND

SUPPORT NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS TO FACILITATE STRENGTHENING OF

GENDER-RESPONSIVE DATA COLLECTION, FOLLOW-UP AND REVIEW,

MONITORING AND ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESSES AT NATIONAL AND

INTERNATIONAL LEVELS ACROSS GOVERNMENTS, CIVIL SOCIETY,

CORPORATIONS AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

-CSW AGREED CONCLUSIONS MUST EXPLICITLY ADDRESS PROGRESS,

CHALLENGES AND EMERGING ISSUES RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION

OF SDGS RELEVANT TO THE THEME.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON MONITORING OF GENDER EQUALITY FOR AGENDA 2030 AND LINKING TO THE HLPF

THE CSW MUST DEMAND FOR A MUCH MORE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT

REPORTING ON GENDER EQUALITY RESULTS IN IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL

SDGS IN SECRETARY-GENERAL’S REPORTS, LINKED TO THE ANNUAL CSW

THEME.

THIS WILL ENSURE AN “OPEN UN” THAT REALLY ENGAGES WITH DIFFERENT

CONSTITUENCIES AND POPULATION GROUPS, INCLUDING WOMEN’S AND

FEMINIST CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, NOT ONLY TO PROMOTE AND

SUPPORT THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN SDG DELIVERY AND MONITORING BUT

ALSO TO ENSURE THEY ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN THE UN SYSTEM’S OWN

WORK AT ALL LEVELS.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON MONITORING OF GENDER EQUALITY FOR AGENDA 2030 AND LINKING TO THE HLPF

-CSW SHOULD FACILITATE INTERACTIVE DIALOGUES AND EXPERT PANEL SESSIONS TO EVALUATE THE PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE SDGS AS THEY RELATE TO THE OVERALL THEMES OF CSW AND BEIJING DECLARATION AND PLATFORM FOR ACTION.

-CREATE LEADERSHIP IN COUNTRIES TO FULLY INTEGRATE THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

-HELP TO ENSURE POLICY COHERENCE ON CROSS-CUTTING & MULTI-SECTORAL CHALLENGES.

-ENGAGE ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN ISSUE-BASED, MULTI-SECTORAL PARTNERSHIPS AND COALITIONS.

-THE CSW ROLE MUST BE COMPLEMENTARY TO THE HIGH LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM (HLPF), AND SHOULD FACILITATE EVENTS THAT ALLOWING FOR MORE IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS ON AN ONGOING BASIS.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON MONITORING OF GENDER EQUALITY

FOR AGENDA 2030 AND LINKING TO THE HLPF

THE HLPF IS THE CENTRAL FOLLOW-UP AND REVIEW PLATFORM AND MUST BEAR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MONITORING

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL SDGS AT THE GLOBAL LEVEL. ADDITIONALLY, THE CSW MUST NOT BE THE ONLY PLACE TO REVIEW GLOBAL PROGRESS ON GENDER. CSW SHOULD HOLD A SPECIFIC INTERACTIVE DIALOGUE TO ADDRESS THE GENDER DIMENSIONS OF THE ANNUAL THEME OF

THE HLPF, INCLUDING PROGRESS TOWARD INDIVIDUAL INDICATORS. A CHAIR’S SUMMARY OF THE DISCUSSION SHOULD ACCOMPANY THE CSW AGREED CONCLUSIONS AS AN OFFICIAL INPUT TO THE HLPF.
