New York, 17 July 2017 - ‘The SDGs in Action: Eradicating Poverty and Promoting Inclusive Prosperity in a Changing World,’ a high level side event organized by the UN Development Group, in conjunction with the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF 2017), discussed how countries at various stages of development, including those faced with complex situations such as violent conflict and fragility are accelerating efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The theme of the HLPF, ‘Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world’ challenges the UN and Member States to hold true to the 2030 Agenda pledge to leave no one behind and to reach the furthest behind first.
Mr. Achim Steiner, UNDG Chair and UNDP Administrator highlighted on the need to pursue an integrated approach versus “cherry-picking” priority areas, where the UN can help identify synergies and trade-offs in different country contexts to determine interventions that yield benefits across several SDGs.
“The critical importance of leaving no one behind and reaching the furthest behind first: here the UN can help countries better understand and address inequalities in all their forms”.

(Edgar Martins for The New York Times) In May 2006, Credit Suisse issued the developers of this new all-season ski-and-golf resort in Idaho $250 million in loans and credit. With the money, the property’s owners began to construct an elaborate European-style village that was to include luxury restaurants and condominiums; in the foothills of the mountains, hundreds of properties were erected, including private chalets, cottages, town homes and large estates. Sales began to slow, however, during the credit crunch. Last March, Tamarack closed, and the resort’s 200 workers were laid off. Foreclosed chalets sit in the foothills, and the European-style village now lies dormant and only half-finished.

Although these building were only recently completed, to me they have something of the old Eastern Bloc about them, making them an appropriate subject for the camera made in the GDR.

For Core Studio project. We were assigned a mythical character from which we had to distill an inherent dichotomy and create a visual profile around it.
My character was Budai and the dichotomy was Excess and Contentment.

Tarmac (this road over the hill used to be a dust track in 2014), electricity (green building in background providing town centre - just not today though) and water (pipes are being digged into ground as I'm watching). All on one corner in Kigoma. People want development, maendeleo, a word commonly used when I ask - broadly - what people want politics to lead to.
I'm also reminded though that development takes time. Like today where I consulted the personal assistant to the MP of Kigoma Urban in his office. I need his help to identify municipality members (councillors) for me to interview. (This part is in fact lovely easy and non-bureaucratic. The research permit I was nervous of not getting, the one I paid 350$ for out of my own pocket, no one cares to see it.)
As we go through the list, mentioning the councillors elected via elections, reaching to special seats, it's all men. I haven't spoken to one woman yet (in terms of my field study), and I just felt a dash of panic. I'm exhausted listening to (men's) explanations of why there's so few women in the political public sphere. I have to pull myself together, try not to get irritated.
Till someone (a man) reminds me that there actually was a female presidential candidate (Anna Mghwira) running during 2015 elections. 'Have i considered the potential impact of that?!'
I am now.

'"It's like people don't believe that a woman can take politics seriously despite the fact that in Tanzania we have had a lot of women who have held high positions such as ministers, RCs and other areas of leadership including the private sector and women in business. That is leadership where you deal with people and commodities at the same time.
With all these female leaders we still ask why a woman? '

As foreign direct investment in emerging markets increases, official foreign assistance levels remain uncertain, and as new development actors emerge, bilateral agencies are exploring new forms of cooperation to maximize their development impact while maintaining current resource levels. New strategies include enhanced cooperation with international and local private sectors, building innovative partnerships with emerging actors, and a heightened focus on measurable impact.
Panelists will explore these new partnerships and discuss their agencies' approaches to technical assistance, supporting private investment, and engagement with emerging donors, including China and Brazil.
