Unpacking Sustainable Development Goal 4 Education 2030: Guide Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO This guide, organized around a set of questions and answers to “unpack” SDG4, provides overall guidance for a deeper understanding of SDG4 within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in order to support its effective implementation. The guide outlines the key features of SDG4-Education 2030 and the global commitments expressed in the SDG4 targets as articulated in the Incheon Declaration and the Education 2030 Framework for Action. The guide also examines the implications of translating these global commitments within, and through, national education development efforts. This guide supplements the UNESCO technical guidelines (2016) for Mainstreaming SDG4-Education 2030 into sector-wide policy and planning. It was developed by Sobhi Tawil, Margarete Sachs-Israel, Huong Le Thu, and Matthias Eck of the UNESCO Section of Partnerships, Cooperation and Research (PCR) within the Division for Education 2030 Support and Coordination. Comprendre l'Objectif de développement durable 4: Education 2030, guide Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Le présent guide, qui s’articule autour d’une série de questions et de réponses pour « décoder » l’ODD4, contient des indications générales permettant de mieux comprendre sa place dans le Programme pour le développement durable à l’horizon 2030 et d’assurer sa mise en œuvre efficace. Il met en avant les principales caractéristiques de l’ODD4-Education 2030 et les engagements pris au niveau mondial, manifestés dans les cibles de l’ODD4 telles que formulées par la Déclaration d’Incheon et le Cadre d’action Education 2030.Ce guide complète les principes directeurs techniques de l’UNESCO (2016) pour l’intégration de l’ODD4-Education 2030 au sein de la politique et de la planification sectorielles. Il a été élaboré par Sobhi Tawil, Margarete Sachs-Israel, Huong Le Thu et Matthias Eck de la Section Partenariats, Coopération et Recherche (PCR) de l’UNESCO au sein de la Division d’appui et de coordination d’Éducation 2030.Qu’est-ce que le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 ?Le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 est un engagement intergouvernemental et un « plan d’action pour l’humanité, la planète et la prospérité ». Il se compose de 17 Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) « intégrés et indissociables qui concilient les trois dimensions du développement durable : économique, sociale et environnementale », démontrant par ailleurs l’ampleur et l’ambition de ce nouveau Programme universel. Ils ressortent de ce qui a été sans nul doute le processus de consultation le plus inclusif de toute l’histoire des Nations Unies, le fruit de la contribution substantielle de tous les secteurs de la société, de tous les acteurs de la communauté internationale et de toutes les régions du monde. Tous les États membres, l’ensemble du système des Nations Unies, les experts et les représentants de la société civile, du monde des entreprises et, le plus important, des millions de personnes du monde entier, ont pris l’engagement de concrétiser ce large programme qui s’attaque aux préoccupations communes de la planète toute entière et de promouvoir le bien public. 
العدالة الاجتماعية وسياسات الإنفاق العام في دول الثورات العربية Year of publication: 2014 Author: Ali Abdul Qadir Ali Corporate author: Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies تهدف هذه الورقة إلى إبراز التحدّي الذي سيواجه دول الثورات العربية في صوْغها سياسات إنفاقٍ عامّ تلبّي ما طالبت به الثورات. في سبيل ذلك، تنظر الورقة إلى الثورات العربية بوصفها سعيًا نحو تأسيس أنظمة حكم ديمقراطية؛ بمعنى إنشاء مؤسسات سياسية تعددية وما يعني ذلك لكفاءة المؤسسات الاقتصادية. وتقترح الورقة أن طبيعة تحدّي صوْغ إنفاق عامّ ملائمة لطموحات الثورات في تحقيق عدالة اجتماعية تتمثّل في خلوّ جعبة المؤسسات الدولية المانحة للعون التنموي، كما يمثّلها صندوق النقد الدولي، من فكرٍ تنموي جديد في مجال صوْغ سياسات الإنفاق العامّ على الرغم من وجود الشواهد التطبيقية التي توضح نجاعة سياسات الإنفاق العامّ التوزيعية في تحقيق العدالة الاجتماعية. وهي شواهد تستعرضها الورقة، التي تعرض أيضًا نتائج تطبيقية ناجمة عن حجم الطبقة الوسطى في عيّنة دول الثورات العربية، وتوضح أن هذه الطبقة تمثّل أغلبية السكّان في هذه الدول، وتقترح أن الانتقال إلى نظام حكم ديمقراطي يستند إلى تفضيلات الناخبين من شأنه أن يفرض اتّباع سياسات إنفاق عامّ توزيعية، حيث يقوم الناخب الوسيط بدور محوري في اختيار مثل هذه السياسات. Social Justice and Public Expenditure Policies in the Arab Revolutions Year of publication: 2014 Author: Ali Abdul Qadir Ali Corporate author: Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies This paper examines the challenges faced by Arab spring states when formulating public expenditure policies that meet the revolutions’ demands. In an attempt to establish democratic regimes, the Arab revolutions dictated the creation of pluralist political institutions with concomitant implications for economic institutions. The paper suggests that the challenge of formulating a public expenditure policy in line with the revolutions’ aspirations for social justice lies in the inability of international development agencies, such as the IMF, to propose new and innovative ideas for formulating development policy. However, there are successful applied examples of distributive public expenditure policies for creating social justice. The paper reviews these examples in addition to the results of a survey identifying the size of the middle class in samples of Arab spring states. The survey demonstrates that the middle class represents a majority of population in these countries, suggesting that the transition to electoral democracy requires adopting distributional public expenditure policies in which the middle class voter occupies a central role. 
Counting on the World to Act: A Roadmap for Governments to Achieve Modern Data Systems for Sustainable Development Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Sustainable Development Solutions Network Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (SDSN TReNDS) Eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring quality education, instituting affordable and clean energy, and more – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a broad, ambitious vision for our world. But there is one common denominator that cuts across this agenda: data. Without timely, relevant, and disaggregated data, policymakers and their development partners will be unprepared to turn their promises into reality for communities worldwide. With only eleven years left to meet the goals, it is imperative that we focus on building robust, inclusive, and relevant national data systems to support the curation and promotion of better data for sustainable development. In Counting on the World to Act, TReNDS details an action plan for governments and their development partners that will enable them to help deliver the SDGs globally by 2030. Our recommendations specifically aim to empower government actors – whether they be national statisticians, chief data scientists, chief data officers, ministers of planning, or others concerned with evidence in support of sustainable development – to advocate for, build, and lead a new data ecosystem.
