  3. The 2030 Agenda is universal, comprehensive, human rights based and requires developed countries to take the lead Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  4. 45. We acknowledge also the essential role of national parliaments through their enactment of legislation and adoption of budgets and their role in ensuring accountability for the effective implementation of our commitments. 47. Our Governments have the primary responsibility for follow-up and review, at the national, regional and global levels, in relation to the progress made in implementing the Goals and targets over the coming 15 years. To support accountability to our citizens, we will provide for systematic follow-up and review at the various levels, as set out in this Agenda and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. The high-level political forum under the auspices of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council will have the central role in overseeing follow-up and review at the global level. Data, monitoring and accountability 72. (...) A robust, voluntary, effective, participatory, transparent and integrated follow-up and review framework will make a vital contribution to implementation and will help countries to maximize and track progress in implementing this Agenda in order to ensure that no one is left behind. 73. Operating at the national, regional and global levels, it will promoteaccountability to our citizens, support effective international cooperation in achieving this Agenda and foster exchanges of best practices and mutual learning. The “A-word” in the 2030 Agenda Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  5. The big shift: from transformational to measurable 2014: The “leapfrogging” hype (Oxford: Intensive publicty or deception) Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  6. The big shift: from transformational to measurable 2018: The “diagnostic” hype Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  7. “you will still be poor and discriminated, but we will know precisely how poor you are” In summary: Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  8. Emphasis has “shifted from the pressure to develop a global indicator framework to the need for capacity development.” * * “The Ups and Downs of Tiers: Measuring SDG Progress,” by Barbara Adams and Karen Judd, published April 30, 2018 by Global Policy Watch (www.globalpolicywatch.org) Parallel shift: Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  9. 17.19 By 2030, build on existing initiatives to develop measurements of progress on sustainable development that complement gross domestic product, and support statistical capacity-building in developing countries 17.19.1 Dollar value of all resources made available to strengthen statistical capacity in developing countries 17.19.2 Proportion of countries that (a) have conducted at least one population and housing census in the last 10 years; and (b) have achieved 100 per cent birth registration and 80 per cent death registration Sustainability is missing Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  10. The search for one indicator for each target eludes a comprehensive approach to the goals Tier I indicators for Goal 10 (inequalities): 10.6.1 Proportion of members and voting rights of developing countries in international organizations 10.a.1 Proportion of tariff lines applied to imports from least developed countries and developing countries with zero-tariff 10.b.1 Total resource flows for development, by recipient and donor countries and type of flow (e.g. official development assistance, foreign direct investment and other flows) Women loose the most if the inequalities goal is lost Counting the trees, missing the forest Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  11. MDGs and SDGs: more but not different indicators There are 93 indicators in Tier I of the SDGs, of which 42 are either identical to or an elaboration of (e.g., disaggregated by sex, etc.) the already existing MDG indicators. SDG 17, on implementation, has now nine additional indicators when compared with the MDGs, three of them measuring support to national statistics offices. But the MDGs assessed implementation with indicators for key policies that are not on the current list of the SDGs. For example, the measure of “untied” Official Development Assistance (ODA) has disappeared, and three indicators addressing basic trade concerns of developing countries (on tariffs for developing countries exports and agricultural subsidies of OECD countries) are also lost. Similarly, the MDG 8 indicators for debt relief under HIPC have disappeared, even when those have all the characteristics required for Tier I and SDG Target 17.4 explicitly demands debt relief and debt restructuring, for which those indicators would be appropriate. Instead the only Tier I indicator for this target is a figure for debt service in relation to exports. Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  12. HLPF: The big opportunity The VNRs are gaining traction: In three years, 132 VNRs have been submitted, a show of political commitment But: No real review, no adequate channels for CSO participation Qualitative assessments – Human Rights approach Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018

  13. The way forward Expansion of rights not of “development delivery”: Example: “Right to be cared” recognized in Uruguay and Costa Rica “Personhood” of rivers recognized by courts If corporations have “rights” why can't nature have them? Rights of future generations – Rights to a future Talking Notes by Roberto Bissio – SDG Accountability – Geneva May 3, 2018
