A/RES/69/315
Draft outcome document of the United Nations summit
for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda
in support of implementation of all the Goals and targets, bringing together
Governments, the private sector, civil society, the United Nations system and other
actors and mobilizing all available resources.
40. The means of implementation targets under Goal 17 and under each
Sustainable Development Goal are key to realizing our Agenda and are of equal
importance with the other Goals and targets. The Agenda, including the Sustainable
Development Goals, can be met within the framework of a revitalized Global
Partnership for Sustainable Development, supported by the concrete policies and
actions as outlined in the outcome document of the third International Conference
on Financing for Development, held in Addis Ababa from 13 to 16 July 2015. We
welcome the endorsement by the General Assembly of the Addis Ababa Action
Agenda, which is an integral part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
We recognize that the full implementation of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda is
critical for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals and targets.
41. We recognize that each country has primary responsibility for its own
economic and social development. The new Agenda deals with the means required
for implementation of the Goals and targets. We recognize that these will include
the mobilization of financial resources as well as capacity-building and the transfer
of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favourable terms,
including on concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed. Public
finance, both domestic and international, will play a vital role in providing essential
services and public goods and in catalysing other sources of finance. We
acknowledge the role of the diverse private sector, ranging from micro-enterprises
to cooperatives to multinationals, and that of civil society organizations and
philanthropic organizations in the implementation of the new Agenda.
42. We support the implementation of relevant strategies and programmes of
action, including the Istanbul Declaration and Programme of Action, the SIDS
Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway and the Vienna Programme of
Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014–2024, and reaffirm
the importance of supporting the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the programme of
the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, all of which are integral to the new
Agenda. We recognize the major challenge to the achievement of durable peace and
sustainable development in countries in conflict and post-conflict situations.
43. We emphasize that international public finance plays an important role in
complementing the efforts of countries to mobilize public resources domestically,
especially in the poorest and most vulnerable countries with limited domestic
resources. An important use of international public finance, including official
development assistance (ODA), is to catalyse additional resource mobilization from
other sources, public and private. ODA providers reaffirm their respective
commitments, including the commitment by many developed countries to achieve
the target of 0.7 per cent of gross national income for official development
assistance (ODA/GNI) to developing countries and 0.15 per cent to 0.2 per cent of
ODA/GNI to least developed countries.
44. We acknowledge the importance for international financial institutions to
support, in line with their mandates, the policy space of each country, in particular
developing countries. We recommit to broadening and strengthening the voice and
participation of developing countries – including African countries, least developed
countries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing States and
middle-income countries – in international economic decision-making, norm-setting
and global economic governance.
