Policy Innovations for Transformative Change
Author: Katja Hujo
Publisher: UN
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals are a global commitment to "transforming our world" and eradicating poverty in all its forms everywhere. The challenge now is to put this vision into action. Policy Innovations for Transformative Change, the UNRISD 2016 Flagship Report, helps unpack the complexities of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in a unique way: by focusing on the innovations and pathways to policy change, and analysing which policies and practices will lead to social, economic and ecological justice. Drawing on numerous policy innovations from the South, the report goes beyond buzzwords and brings to the development community a definition of transformation which can be used as a benchmark for policy making toward the 2030 Agenda, intended to "leave no one behind". Bringing together five years of UNRISD research across six areas--social policy, care policy, social and solidarity economy, eco-social policy, domestic resource mobilization, and politics and governance--the report explores what transformative change really means for societies and individuals.

The Least Developed Countries Report 2010
Author: United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789211128130
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Even as global economic growth accelerated in the first decade of the millennium, the LDCs remained marginalized in the world economy. The Report calls for the creation of a new international development architecture (NIDA) for the LDCs aimed at: a) reversing their marginalization in the global economy and helping them in their catch-up efforts; (b) supporting a pattern of accelerated economic growth and diversification to improve the well-being of all their people; and (c) helping them graduate from LCD status. The NIDA for LDCs would be constituted through reforms of the global economic regimes which directly affect development and poverty reduction in LDCs, and through the design of a new generation of special international support mechanisms for the LDCs aimed at addressing their specific structural constraints and vulnerabilities. Increasing South-South cooperation, both within regions and between LDCs and large, fast-growing developing countries, could also play an important role in a NIDA for LCDs. The Report proposes five major pillars of the NIDA: finance, trade, commodities, technology, and climate change mitigation and adaptation and identifies a forward-looking agenda for action in the NIDA for LDCs in these areas. It is intended to serve as a major input to the policy debate for the fourth United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries, in Turkey in 2011. Combining international support measures for LDCs with a new international framework for policy and cooperation that can deliver more stable, equitable and inclusive development is one of the most urgent challenges facing the international community today.
