The UN News Centre spoke with Mr. Mahiga ahead of a ministerial-level mini-summit taking place on the sidelines of the General Assembly in New York this Friday. UN News Centre: In June, you had said that you postponed a meeting of the International Contact Group on Somalia (a group made up of representatives of UN Member States to support peace efforts) several times while waiting for positive political developments, but they had not been forthcoming. What has changed in the Special Representative for the past two months or so, and what’s caused that change? Secretary-General for Somalia Augustine Mahiga Augustine Mahiga: There’s been a sea-change. Actually, in June we were able to resolve a raging conflict that had paralyzed politics in Mogadishu for six months, by signing the Kampala Accord between the President and the Speaker.

  • Conference Report: Achieving the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063: the Rule of Law As a Driver of Africa’S Sustainable Development
    CONFERENCE REPORT: ACHIEVING THE 2030 AGENDA AND AGENDA 2063: THE RULE OF LAW AS A DRIVER OF AFRICA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE REPORT: ACHIEVING THE 2030 AGENDA AND AGENDA 2063: THE RULE OF LAW AS A DRIVER OF AFRICA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE Africa is a continent with enormous wealth and potential. It is home to many of SUMMARY the world’s fastest growing economies and is experiencing rapid and profound transformation. Yet Africa continues to face significant development challenges, including deepening levels of poverty and inequality, dynamics of demographic trends, together with heightened vulnerability to climate change. Conflict, humanitarian crises, internal displacement and refugee flows present further challenges. In May 2013, the African Union initiated its 50-year development action plan, Agenda 2063, which lays out the Pan-African vision in seven aspirations. The process of developing Agenda 2063 enabled the African Group at the United Nations to provide significant global leadership during the negotiations for the Post-2015 Development Agenda. In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 corresponding targets. The SDGs replaced the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and will guide global development priorities until 2030. Importantly, both, Aspirations 3 and 4 of Agenda 2063, as well as SDG 16 of the 2030 Agenda, point to the rule of law and access to justice as drivers and outcomes of sustainable development. The rule of law is also of cross-cutting relevance to all development goals and aspirations, in terms of enabling participatory, accountable and equitable processes in the economic, social and environmental spheres.

  • II. United Nations and Sub-Saharan Africa
    II. United Nations and Sub-Saharan Africa United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon emphasised African ownership and good leadership in connection with the MDGs. At an Africa Consultative Forum on the MDGs in September in Kigali, he said that Africans needed both foreign aid and fairer trading terms with other regions to achieve the MDGs by their 2015 deadline: “They need the tools with which they themselves will create jobs, generate income and unleash the continent’s own potential.” President Paul Kagame of Rwanda stressed that while the goals must remain an international priority, African states must see that it was in their own interest to pursue and achieve an MDG agenda. The perspective of developed nations was based on “paternalism not partnership, on charity not self-reliance and on promises unfulfilled rather than real change on the ground”. In their dealings throughout the year, Ban Ki-moon and the AU Commission chairperson, Jean Ping, linked progress on MDGs and development in Africa to security issues. Conflict was the greatest impediment to sustainable development, they said, when celebrating the International Day of Peace on 21 September, thus framing the AU-UN Peace and Security Partnership as a necessary precondition for Africa’s development. Africa in the UN African agency in framing and implementing the AU-UN Peace and Security Part- nership was most evident in the unprecedented hybrid AU-UN peacekeeping operation deployed in the Darfur region of the Sudan (UNAMID) and the support extended by the UN to the AU mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Despite global and regional high- level meetings, visits and policies regarding Somalia during the year, the AU and IGAD appeared weak and indecisive.
