La comunidad de ONG, incluido un representante de Buena Voluntad Mundial, se reunió en la ONU el 13 de agosto para analizar conjuntamente tanto el proceso como el resultado de trabajar en los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.

La reunión se centró en la naturaleza y calidad de la defensa de la sociedad civil y en los mecanismos necesarios para apoyar los nuevos objetivos.

On Thursday, 30 July 2015, just hours before governments began their final negotiations on a Transformative Agenda for Sustainable Development, World Goodwill was represented at a side event, “Preparing for the implementation phase of the post-2015 development agenda.”

There was a visionary air to the gathering. 

The Ambassador of South Africa, H.E. Mr. Jeremiah N. Kingsley Mamabolo, emphasized that goodwill must be ensured in order for the goals to be implemented. 

All of humanity needs to own the goals, he said, “all hands on deck,” and we all need to feel accountable.  He envisioned accountability being strengthened by systemic intergovernmental support, and defined good governance as the responsibility of governments to people and as being at the root of implementation.
