Home / Post-2015 Reports and Resources

With the global conversation on the post-2015 development agenda well underway, new resources are being made availlable every day, capturing the diversity of views on issues within and related to the future framework.

WHO Proposals for Health Goals and Targets in SDGs

The WHO presented its proposals for an overarching health goal, sub goals, and targets within the SDGs at a side event at the 67th World Health Assembly. The overarching health goal is to "ensure healthy lives and universal health coverage at all ages". The four sub goals are to: 

1)     Achieve the MDGs for maternal and child health, and for major communicable diseases
2)     Address the burden of NCDs, injuries and mental disorders
3)     Achieve UHC, including financial risk protection
4)     Address the social and environmental determinants of health

Reports on the Post-2015 Agenda

Four reports were published to inform the global dialogue on post-2015 and the UN Secretary-General as he prepared his recommendations ahead of the UN General Assembly in September 2013. The reports are:

1)     High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda
2)     UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)
3)     UN Global Compact (UNGC)
4)     UN Development Group (UNDG): The Global Conversation Begins

UN-NGLS Consultation

To continue the open and inclusive nature of the post-2015 process, the United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS) is holding an online consultation with civil society on these four reports. The consultation aims to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the narrative of the four reports, as well as provide analysis on the proposed goals, targets and indicators. Click here to access the consultation.

To facilitate NCD civil society input to the UN-NGLS Consultation, the NCD Alliance conducted an analysis of each of the four reports and prepared key messages for the consultation questions.

UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Health Report- Health in the Framework of Sustainable Development

Following up on the SDSN report to the UNSG in July, the network established 12 Thematic Groups (TGs) comprising leading scientists, engineers, academics and practitioners from business and civil society to promote solutions to key challenges of sustainable development. The aim of the Thematic Groups is to encourage governments, UN agencies, and the public towards practical solutions to the greatest challenges of sustainable development.

Since health is recognised as central to sustainable development, a thematic group on health has been formed named, ‘Health for All.’ In early September, they released a draft Thematic Group Report, Health in the Framework of Sustainable Development which was open for public comment.

The SDSN published a draft report on Indicators for Sustainable Development Goals in February 2014. The report was open for consultation until March 2014, and presents a framework of 100 indicators within the goals and targets proposed by the SDSN, and also proposes principles and responsibilities for SDG monitoring.

The High-level Panel Report on Post-2015

In July 2012, the UN Secretary General named the members of the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (HLP). Their mandate was to hold open and inclusive consultations and produce a report for the UN Secretary-General with reocmmendations on priorities and countours of the post-2015 development framework.

On 30 May 2013, the HLP released its final report, A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies Through Sustainable Development. It outlines the universal priorities to deliver sustainable development in the post-2015 era and suggests an illustrative framework of 12 universal goals and 54 national targets. The report serves as a key input into the global deliberations on post-2015.

The NCD Alliance has produced a short analysis of the final HLP report, from a health and NCD perspective, highlighting the strengths of the report – including the inclusion of a target on NCDs- and outlining some notable weaknesses and omissions. 

Read the NCDA analysis of the HLP report and our statement on the release of the report.

UN Secretary General's Synthesis Report

In December 2014, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon presented the United Nations General Assembly with an advance version of his “synthesis report” of the Post-2015 process, entitled “The Road to Dignity by 2030: Ending Poverty, Transforming All Lives and Protecting the Planet.” The report is intended to guide intergovernmental negotiations for a new global agenda centred on people and the planet, and underpinned by human rights.

As part of the Health in Post-2015 Group, the NCD Alliance contributed to a response paper to the SG's report, which can be found here.
