Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
A/RES/70/1
Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway 12 and the Vienna Programme
of Action for Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014–2024, 13 and
reaffirm the importance of supporting the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the
programme of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, 14 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.
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. Governments
and public institutions will also work closely on implementation with regional and
local authorities, subregional institutions, international institutions, academia,
philanthropic organizations, volunteer groups and others.
46. We underline the important role and comparative advantage of an adequately
resourced, relevant, coherent, efficient and effective United Nations system in
supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and sustainable
development. While stressing the importance of strengthened national ownership
and leadership at the country level, we express our support for the ongoing dialogue
in the Economic and Social Council on the longer-term positioning of the United
Nations development system in the context of this Agenda.
Follow-up and review
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.
