Annex IV: Objectives and Operating Principles of SDNP
Our objective is to facilitate and promote connectivity between
the users and suppliers of information related to sustainable human
development and to the preparation and implementation of Agenda 21.
Our Principles of Operation include:
A participatory approach
SDNPs do not create or maintain data bases (notable exception of
directories on who knows what in the country)
SDNPs do not ``own'' data: activities in general should be
``transparent''
it is up to each National Steering Committee to determine
what activities fall within the concept of sustainable human
development. It is also important to underline that SDNP
activists should remind their audiences that the SDNP is not
concentrating on or restricting its activities to environmental
issues
UNDP assistance should be seen as catalytic, limited in amount
and duration. UNDP assistance should be used to leverage other
financing from government, industry or external sources
nodes should be managed from the outset in a business- like
manner, with cost-accounting. Steering Committees should
judiciously move to partial/full cost recovery
from the feasibility study stage through to management, all
SDNP nodes should use national skills and resources. The
responsibility for execution, management and the use of resources
rests with the National Steering Committee
SDNP should be seen as a highly effective means to promote self-
reliance and Technical Cooperation between Developing Countries
(TCDC)
SDNP must complement and not duplicate or compete with ongoing or
proposed networking activities.
each country presents new and different circumstances and agility
and flexibility is needed to tailor-make each SDNP activity to the
needs of the country.
SDNPs are encouraged to improve the level and quality of national
networking before or concurrently with initiating major efforts
to improve international connectivity. Improving the national
situation is a considerable task in most countries.
choice of networking techniques should be primarily driven by
cost-effectiveness and appropriate technology
SDNPs must be demand driven, cost effective, and user friendly if
they are to succeed
the focus of planning or implementation of national Agenda 21
activities should be always in mind.
Annex V: Status and Future Outlook for SDNP
Discussion Leader: Chuck Lankester
- In the past 24 months SDNP has covered the following ground
identified its basic concept, principles, philosophy and
objectives
incorporated constant updating and adjustment
undertaken prefeasibility and feasibility studies: negotiations:
there are now 15 operational nodes, hopefully 20 at end '94.
three coordinators workshops plus initial meetings + Central
America + Estonian training
created partnerships: see brochure folder + others for details
trained a team of national and international consultants
published outreach /reports
provided technical and managerial backstopping to field operations
(although much more is needed)
completed the SIDSnet feasibility study + General Assembly
negotiations.
helped to set up the Bellanet.
- Looking Ahead
Tough times financially in 1995 but beyond December 1994 we look
to recruit more professional and clerical staff as recommended by
consultant Wild.
Negotiations with: Russia, Latvia, Luthuania, Poland, Ukraine
(Training Courses in January and April) Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal,
China, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Chile, Panama, Guyana,
Paraguay
SIDSnet
Reference Centres
Sub-Regional Workshops
Overall, despite financial constraints there is so much good work to do
and the SDNP is such a good product that we can all be optimistic.
Also SDNP meshes with UNDP's new thinking on:
role of UNDP in supporting other UN agencies
using Country Network effectively
implementing Agenda 21
focus on capacity building and empowerment
Annex VI: Sustainable Human Development
Discussion Leader: Hans Von Sponeck
Sustainable Human development is now the principal objective of UNDP
activities. It is complex and poorly understood. One view, developed
by research workers at the University of Sussex, was that there are
three main components of Sustainable Human Development (SHD), namely:
- Physical Assets
- Natural Resources Assets, and
- Human Assets
- It is imperative that a balance be found in investments between
these three components if SHD is to be realized.
- The rate of return can be used as one instrument to monitor
conditions of balance or imbalance
- A good balance between these three components leads towards SHD
- The three components plus social capital (relations among people)
make up the SHD Index
- Based on his own direct experience, Mr Von Sponeck stated that
SDNP can be a powerful tool to facilitate sustainable human
development, to build self-reliance and to promote Technical
Cooperation between Developing Countries (TCDC).
