Get Involved with Afternoon Breakout Groups at Consultation Day
March 13, 2016 Venue: 92nd Street Y
Breakout sessions at Consultation Day will challenge us to focus on projects that will craft specific implementation plans inspired by the new global 2030 roadmap and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the NGO CSW concentrates on the advancement of women (SDG 5), it needs the cooperation of such agencies as UN Women, CSW, WHO, UNDP, DESA to bring about specific benefits for women in this precarious time of climate change, economic instability and inequality.
The rich solutions that will be put forward, based on experience and hard evidence, good practices in dealing with each issue and cross-pollination of good strategies will yield comprehensive plans in terms of the successful actions that must be undertaken to implement the ideals and goals contained in the individual SDGs. Planning at CSW 60 among disparate groups working through specific plans and putting together good practices in implementing cross-cutting goals like education, health, access to clean water, food security and housing will produce far-reaching goals to benefit many different constituencies across the globe. Sustainable solutions will enhance the likelihood that they will be incorporated into national strategies to provide development solutions through draft comprehensive plans and implementation strategies.
The idea is to create specific implementation action projects involving partnerships among various NGOs, possibly private sector groups or UN agencies, targeting issues put forward in the SDGs. For example, a project might focus on women (SDG 5) and cooperative farming (SDG 2 on Zero Hunger) and perhaps involve the FAO (UN Farm and Agriculture Organization).
We challenge the NGO Community to use their expertise and imagination to develop specific SDG implementation projects that focus on innovative ways to create new advocacy strategies and solutions for NGOs to work together to implement and realize the new SDGS. The projects should make full use of the expertise of the NGO Community in specific regions, the expertise of the agencies and other organizations of the UN, regional and national government agencies, civil society and the business sector.
Email a description of your project to info@ngocsw.org by January 29th with specific details as to its focus, what you want to accomplish and how you plan to achieve your goals.
An NGO CSW/NY panel will pick 16-20 projects (ahead of time) for group discussion during afternoon breakout sessions on Consultation Day. Regional representation will be prioritized.
The final proposals will be written up and submitted to the Commission on the Status of Women and UN Women for further discussion and dissemination to other UN agencies.
