3 Overview The Economic and Social Council Resolution 1996/31 encourages participation from non-governmental organizations in Consultative Status with ECOSOC to submit statements during Council meetings. Statements can be submitted to the Council in two formats: written statements, circulated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to the members of the Council; and oral presentations, given during Council meetings. The 2012 High Level Segment (HLS) was held on 2 July- 9 July 2012 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The HLS included a session on the Annual Ministerial Review (AMR) with the theme of Promoting productive capacity, employment and decent work to eradicate poverty in the context of inclusive, sustainable and equitable economic growth at all levels for achieving the MDGs Quick Facts 2012, New York 120 NGOs submitted written statements for the HLS NGOs were recommended to speak at the HLS 19 NGOs made oral presentations at the HLS 2012 Quick Facts 2010, New York 90 NGOs submitted written statements for the HLS NGOs were recommended to speak at the HLS 16 NGOs made oral presentations at the HLS 2010 As the High Level Segment takes turns to be held between New York and Geneva each year, it is held biannually in New York. Due to the Development Cooperation Forum which is coincidentally held only biannually in New York, the 2012 High Level Segment in New York created less room for the NGO participation as compared to the previous year in Geneva. In order to solicit statements from NGOs on this theme of AMR, the NGO Branch of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs announced an open call for oral and written statements for NGOs in consultative status with ECOSOC. NGOs responded in unprecedented numbers as compared to 2010 ECOSOC High Level Segment which was also held in New York. 66 NGOs were recommended by the NGO Committee to speak at the ECOSOC HLS, representing a total increase of 50% from 44 of 2010 High Level Segment in New York. 120 NGOs have submitted written statements that are available online as part of the official ECOSOC 3

4 documentation. This constituted a 33% increase compared to 2010 when 90 NGOs have submitted written statements. Also, NGOs participation increased during the event itself with 19 NGOs presenting oral statements compared to 16 NGOs in 2012, an increase of 11.8%. Communication The invitation extended to NGOs to submit their substantive contributions to ECOSOC proved to be fruitful. New tools were used to ensure a better outcome for this year s ECOSOC HLS. The NGO Branch decided this year to take further steps to ensure that the statements submitted significantly contributed to the work of ECOSOC in Promoting productive capacity, employment and decent work to eradicate poverty in the context of inclusive, sustainable and equitable economic growth at all levels for achieving the MDGs. These tools included the use social networks, blogs, forums, and direct marketing to communicate with NGOs involved in productive capacity, employment, and decent work initiatives. Google Analytics By using Google Analytics, the NGO Branch effectively monitored its website traffic as well as online outreach effectiveness. Google Analytics was used as a great research tool to track the Branch s progress and helped boosting its strategy to outreach NGOs. Effectively identified the websites with the most traffic via Google Analytics, the submission of written and oral statements increased significantly, ensuring that this year s NGO Contribution to the ECOSOC HLS would be rich with new initiatives and innovation. Viral Outreach The usage of viral outreach tool was drastically increased this year. As the current trend of social networking websites continue to flourish, the NGO outreach has noticeably improved. The social networking websites were efficiently used to spread the word to the NGO community: Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and NGO websites. The outreach was initiated with setting up an event/resource page on the idealist.org website as it mainly serves the NGO community at forefront. The NGO group pages of Linkedin, IGO, NGO and NPO pages of Facebook, the recognized NGOs twitter accounts, blogs ran by IGOs and NGOs as well as NGO websites such as NGO portal and NGO post were heavily used to promote the 2012 High Level Segment participation. Facebook was used most efficiently as the most traffic occurred through Facebook NGO/IGO pages. 4

5 One on One Outreach The NGO Branch carried out an analysis of these NGOs which dedicate most of their time and work to projects and field work in employment. The list of NGOs was extracted from the NGO database in order to reach NGOs working on the theme on an individual base. It selected 22 NGOs with an extensive background and a proven record of initiatives in employment and productive capacity. The identified NGOs were contacted individually via s and phone calls in order for the NGOs to participate in the 2012 High Level Segment. As a result, 8 organizations out of 22 organizations have confirmed their participation. Open Call Mass ing Following the viral and one on one outreach, the NGO Branch sent out an open call mass mailings to all NGOs in consultative status with ECOSC, a process done every year, to inform and encourage them to submit written and oral statements. Orientation Session Orientation session was held on 2 nd, July 2012 to give NGOs a thorough introduction to the procedure and rules of delivering oral statements. A room full of NGOs has attended the session, and hence created less confusion on the understanding of the procedure of oral statements during the general debates.

Just as more people confronted a worsening jobs 9

10 picture, a thriving minority had benefited from the intense competition for talent, with pay for top performers soaring to an ever-larger multiple of the average worker s salary. With this in mind, 19 NGOs spoke at the ECOSOC High Level Segment 2012 and following are some extracts of the main messages they delivered during the 4 day event. NURGUL DZHANAEVA, Forum of Women s NGOs of Kyrgyzstan (Special, 2005) said that, during the post-socialist crisis period, it was the women who had turned Kyrgyzstan into a trade hub in Central Asia, with thousands of jobs for marginalized people. They also had developed the sewing industry. Yet today, women were most vulnerable to the exclusive growth paradigm. Women without financial resources were the first to be victims of poverty, and to have their rights violated. Moreover, women s economic initiatives faced structural barriers. To ensure women contributed at an adequate level, State support and social protection measures were needed. States must ensure decent employment for women with full protection for their rights. Women also must be recognized as effective generators of employment and included with full rights in economic and financial decision-making. ED RYAN, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) (General, 1995), said older populations had suffered significantly during the current economic recessions. A 2010 AARP study showed the number of unemployed in the 55+ age group in the United States had risen 331 per cent from just 2000 to The link between employment and poverty eradication could not be discussed without bringing older persons into the conversation. Due to improved longevity, global life expectancy had increased by more than 20 years since 1950, to reach the current 68 years, per United Nations statistics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of adults aged 65 and over would outnumber children under the age of five within the next five years. By 2050, older adults would outnumber children under the age of 14. Viewing employment, innovative models should be explored to accommodate a multigenerational workforce, such as a mentorship programmes in which older people can provide their experience. KERRY STEFANCYK, Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (Special, 2004) argued that internships, when used as a development tool, could help bridge social and demographic divides, providing young people the ability to obtain quality work experience. She supported innovative actions taken by the Ministry of Labour in the Dominican Republic to improve youth employability and labour force capacity. She also strongly advocated in favour of the integration of internship experiences within national and international youth employment strategies. She looked forward to sharing her organization s experience and developing new multisectoral synergies aimed at enhancing employability, labour force capacity and social equity. 10

11 ZAINAB ZINDANI, IFENDU for Women s Development (Special, 2010) said that despite progress in increasing access to education, gender inequality, HIV/AIDS and environmental degradation impinged on peoples well-being. All stakeholders must take advantage of improved technologies to create change, and she urged exchanging ideas in that regard. Envisioning a world that had achieved all agreed development goals would provide the motivation to continue focusing on human rights issues. The question hinged on how to stop discrimination in employment. Governments must be incentivized to showcase that macroeconomic policies like expanded access to improved technologies were ultimately in their interests. THOMAS BRENNAN, Salesian Missions (Special, 2007) said youth unemployment was at three times that of adult unemployment. ILO had stressed that that trend risked creating a lost generation. Finding decent work was growing more difficult. To address youth unemployment, he urged that youth be provided with the skills needed to engage in a green economy. Governments, employers, trade unions and technical training institutions should increase their collaboration. Moreover, youth should be trained in entrepreneurship, while legislation providing for a living wage, health care and rights protection should be enacted and enforced. FATIMA RODRIGO, Society of Catholic Medical Missionaries (Special, 2000) said it was imperative to eradicate poverty and reduce the gap between the rich and poor, stressing the need for economic morality in building sustainable communities where everyone had a right to lead a decent and humane life. Governments and the private sector needed to encourage and invest in cooperatives and small and medium entrepreneurs as the best solutions to growing unemployment and to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Strengthening the public-private partnerships was seen as inevitable. All Governments should reallocate a portion of their military expenditures towards better causes such as the creation of social protection floors. The existence of extreme poverty was not only a matter [requiring] urgent attention, but a matter of shame for our generation, she said. CATHY FALVO, International Society of Doctors for the Environment (Special, 2002) emphasized the importance of good health as a condition of better results in education, work, society and economy as a whole. Healthier people are, the more productive they become in their lives. Funds spent on armament should be used to provide water, sanitation and basic healthcare. CYRIL RITCHIE, Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (General, 2002) said that poverty eradication is the central goal of the development agenda. Each country should adopt a long-term development plan that responds to the local needs and capabilities. New measures of country s wealth must be established and institutionalized. GDP is no longer adequate because it does not take into account inequality and depletion of natural resources, domestic and voluntary labour is not included. Instead Human 11

12 Development Index, the Genuine Progress Indicator, Gross National Happiness Index and Adjusted Net Savings Index should be used. He also suggested a few recommendations as follows: adopt and implement the Guiding principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights; provide public investment in infrastructures, support agricultural production and distribution. In developing countries, implement policies would help small landholders, landless, labourers and women to access legal services. ALFREDO SIGLIANO, Organización de Entidades Mutuales de las Américas (ODEMA) (Special, 2011) talked about the deals with Social Protection Floor and the way it was described in the Bachelet report. Mutual entities promote common good and social economy through the tool of solidarity. Even small programs that transfer money to the elderly and children can reduce poverty significantly. There must be a twopronged strategy to fight poverty: social protection floor and social security system. THOMAS BRENNAN, Service and Research Institute on Family and Children (Special, 1999) said that in order to eradicate poverty, we must put the family at the centre of the society and protect it. Charter of the Rights of the family should be adopted and built upon. RATH HIMANSHU, Agewell Foundation (Special, 2011) suggested the right to work assuring both the income security and dignity should be available to all who are capable of working. Most countries in the world today are experiencing a gradual demographic transition from younger to older. In bypassing the continuing potential of older workers, nations may be losing an available resource. New policies to provide training to the older workers based on market demands must be put in place. MIKE O CONELL, The Association of Victimology (Special, 1987) said that the vulnerable groups such as elderly, young, disabled, poor and others often become victims of crimes. Crime is a by-product of the prevailing economic, social, technological and political structures. The eradication of crime is central to the achievement of MDGs. A human rights agenda would strengthen MDG framework. WALTER REICHMAN, Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (Special, 2011) and the International Association of Applied Psychology (Special, 2005) concerned with promoting people s healthy growth and development with the end result that they behave in acceptable, productive, affirming ways for their own benefit and for the benefit of the community in which they live. MARY MCFADDEN, International Presentation Association of the Sisters of the Presentation (Special, 2000) said that one of the effective practices of investing in 12

13 smallholder farmers by mentioning The Bakhita Women Project by rural women in Kinnertone village, Kalomo District, Southern province of Zambia which was initiated by International Presentation Association of the Sisters of the Presentation. DANILO PARMEGIANI, Legião da Boa Vontade ( The Legion of Good Will ) (General, 1999) said that the reduction of poverty in the context of sustainable development is a goal that involves first and foremost a bottom-up, multi-stakeholder process. It depends on active engagement of civil society and concrete initiatives on the grassroots, and hence Legião da Boa Vontade suggests that public educational systems across the globe should also embrace value-based pedagogies, like the Pedagogy of Affection and the Pedagogy of the Ecumenical Citizen created by the Brazilian educator Paiva Netto and used in the Legion s schools and community centers of social assistance located in more than 80 cities of Brazil and other six countries. As additional 4 organizations have delivered their oral statements during the 2012 High Level Segment outside of the allocated general debates, a total of 19 organizations have successfully delivered oral statements on the theme of the 2012 High Level Segment, Promoting productive capacity, employment and decent work to eradicate poverty in the context of inclusive, sustainable and equitable economic growth at all levels for achieving the MDGs. Written Statements With the endeavours and encouragement of the NGO Branch, an overwhelming 120 written statements were selected and circulated during the 2012 ECOSOC High level Segment. A total of 48 organizations from developing countries and 72 organizations from developed countries have confirmed their participation in delivering the oral statements written statements to the HLS were very informative and enlightening, introducing innovative ideas from NGOs all over the globe. NGOs focused on key problems in various regions and made specific recommendations for solutions. Following is the list of NGOs that submitted their written statement to the Council. 13
