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

  1. 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.

  2. 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:

  1. Physical Assets
  2. Natural Resources Assets, and
  3. 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).
