What Is Development ? • According to Jan Eliasson, Deputy Secretary- General of the United Nations, development is “life without poverty and without inequalities…respect of human rights, and the belief in governance and in good and strong institutions”. • For the period 2015-2030, the aim of the World Bank, United Nations and other related bodies, is to encourage and assist member states to broaden their scope of development towards achieving sustainable development goals. • As the line between ‘international’ and ‘national’ continues to blur, it is increasingly important for member states to unify their development efforts and approaches, and also to share insight and experiences with each other along the journey. page 2Picture Source: World Bank and World Bank App.

They reflect that we need peace, they reflect that we need development, they reflect that we need respect of human rights and rule of law.” Jan Eliasson, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations

- 7. Your Company Name Presentation The SDGs provide member countries with a unified sense of direction and benchmarks to work towards. They operate almost like a GPS system, charting the path that needs to be followed to achieve success. Direction and Benchmarks The categorization of the goals helps countries to readily identify the types of financing that may be needed for different areas of development. It also evokes discussion about the domestic and international sources of financing development. Financing The goals represent a whole new, transformational way of thinking ideal for the complexity that now exists in the world. Transformational Development page 5 Why Are SDGs Important?
- 8. Fosters Partnerships • The SDGs foster collaborative partnerships among varying stakeholders within the economy and also internationally. • Private and publicly controlled entities are encouraged to come together and identify legal ways to finance development within their country. • Domestic Resource Mobilization also plays a part in promoting the achievement of SDGs and the importance of domestic collaboration.

- 12. page 10 How Can Jamaica Align SDGs With The Country’s National Development Plan? Jamaican Policymakers and all local stakeholders who are guided by Jamaica’s National Development Plan, can incorporate the SDGs within the plan by categorizing the existing plan under the 17 defined SDGs. This way they can access what may be lacking from the plan, or already in place to achieve the SDGs.
- 13. page 11 How Can Jamaica Align SDGs With The Country’s National Development Plan? • By looking at each SDG and matching that goal with those stated by the National Development Plan, Jamaica can ensure that it is on the right path. • Incidentally the plan is also set with a completion time of 2030. • If it is identified that some of the goals are not being actively addressed, then amendments can be made to Vision 2030 to incorporate them.
