Platform HD2010- We the People

“Towards a People’s Multilateralism”

 Keeping in view ‘We the People’ agenda and increasing needs for civic engagement, the UNDP took a lead and started a civil society initiative by setting up Platform HD2010. The initiative includes consultation with CSOs and strategic partnership with CSOs to launch citizen centric program to monitor accelerated MDGs achievements.  Platform 2010 provides a space to engage with civil society actors at multiple levels and areas to generate critical debate and perspectives on emerging vision of ‘Inclusive Multilateralism’, governance and accountability and civic engagement in human development and the Millennium Development Goals.

In the context of Nepal the major focus under Platform HD2010 are to address or look after the issues like inequalities, partnerships between civil society, private sector, local authorities and national governments and strategies for poverty eradication and universal access to education, health services, decent work and social protection issues. Though both UNDP and CSOs in Asia have a scope to influence change towards human development but achieving this objective, both have to focus on ‘We the People’ theme. Focus should also be given on creating balance in development and power structure that create democratic spaces for people. The Platform focuses to achieve the goal of human development in Asia and the Pacific which has been facing consequences of the four ‘F’ crises – Fuel, Finance, Fiscal and Food.

We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected. -- Millennium Declaration

 About the Millennium Development Goals

For the fourth year in a row, millions of people around the world will “Stand Up and Take Action” to demand that world leaders end poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
