Critical perspectives on governance by SDGs Conference
- 1. Session 3:10 – SDG Towards Coherence From PCD to PCSD James Mackie PhD Head of Learning & Quality Support, ECDPM Visiting Professor, IRD Dept, College of Europe University of Amsterdam, 29 June 2016 Critical perspectives on governance by SDGs Conference
- 2. • Policy coherence in the 2030 Agenda • PCSD – what is involved? • PCD – an effective tool • PCD as a concept • The European experience • Lessons to be learnt • From PCD to PCSD • Conclusions Outline Page 2ECDPM
- 3. • The SDG as a transformative agenda i. Leave no-one behind ii. Universality – applies to us all iii. Multi-stakeholder approach iv. Inter-connected agenda – 3 pillars of Sus.Dev. v. Integrated action policy coherence • Coherence in multiple dimensions • Between policy sectors • Between geographies: here and there • Between levels: global – national – local • Between actors: public & private sectors, CSOs • Over time: for now & for future generations • Huge challenge for policy makers Policy coherence in the 2030 Agenda ECDPM Page 3
- 4. • SDG 17, target 14: PCSD - but no details • What do we understand by this concept? • Assume it covers all of the above, but … • Policy coherence is key challenge to focus on • While keeping all other dimensions in mind • How do we make it work? • We are used to working in silos • Inevitable – cannot all do everything • 2030 Agenda – calls on us to transcend silos • Precedents do exist: • Whole-of/joined-up government, ‘One-UN’ initiative , mainstreaming / cross-cutting issues, nexus approach … • EU/OECD DAC have used concept of PCD PCSD – what is involved? ECDPM Page 4
- 5. • EU has 25 years of experience with PCD • Since 1992 Maastricht Treaty • PCD understood as: • Policies in other sectors with an external impact should not undermine, but ideally support development cooperation policy • Sweden’s Policy on Global Development • First basic step – ‘do no harm’ • Ideally also – seek synergies • Ultimately will have to – negotiate trade-offs • Remember: • Promoting PCD is an never ending task • Political will is crucial PCD as a concept ECDPM Page 5
- 6. • 1992 – Maastricht Treaty • 1990s – very little discussion in Council • Yet much NGO lobbying • 2000s – more widespread recognition • Across EU institutions and in Member States • 2002 – OECD Ministerial statement on PCD • PCD chapter in each DAC Peer Review starts • 2005 – EU Council agrees 12 priority areas • 2007 – EU PCD Reports every 2 years start • 2009 – Council identifies 5 PCD challenges Food security, climate change, trade & finance, migration, and security & development • 2010 – Lisbon Treaty – legal obligation PCD – The EU experience ECDPM Page 6
- 7. • Mechanisms that have worked • Clear policy statements to set common path • Focusing efforts on key challenges • Consultation mechanisms – bridging silos • PCD focal points – ‘champions’ • Reporting: transparency & debate • Ex-ante impact assessments • Role of multiple actors • Political leaders, officials, parliaments, CSOs, knowledge institutions – each have a key role • Major challenges • Maintaining political will over time • Measuring progress & showing results PCD – Lessons to be learnt ECDPM Page 7
- 8. • PCD simple concept relative to PCSD • PCD – uni-directional • PCSD – multi-directional • Much more complex and daunting task • Some suggest PCD is subsumed by PCSD • But then: where to start policy making? • Perhaps more realistic to expect silos to continue – work with them not against them • Focus on how to build bridges & synergies • Recognise value of ‘sector champions’ • Is interaction between them the key? • Does PCSD = PCSocialD+PCEnvD+PCEconD ? From PCD to PCSD ECDPM Page 8
- 9. • European practice on PCD useful • Should learn lessons we can • Some PCD mechanisms relevant for PCSD • Political will and leadership crucial • Promoting coherence is never finished • So prioritise and focus action on most useful • Different actors have important roles to play • Knowledge is vital • Studies, evidence, assessments, reporting, transparency & public debate • Yet don’t get too bogged down in measuring • PCSD as a amalgam of multiple coherence efforts – we still need PCD + PC… + PC…+… • PC ‘sector champions’ have a continuing role Conclusions ECDPM Page 9
