UPDATE: 26.11.17
Here is a video of my statements from the ‘recognition’ and ‘development’ sessions, where I argue for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-recognition of the activities of Supplementary Schools (grassroots community education enterprises) and the SDG-reporting on the social and economic outputs of the Grassroots Organisations.
My statements echo the Civil Society Recommendations for the Outcomes Document of the Regional Meeting of Europe, North America, and Central Asia on the International Decade for People of African Descent to which I contributed, here.
The SDG-mapped community matrix that I refer to and suggest is:
Clennon, O.D., Lennox, C., Waughray, A. (2017). SDG Implementation: UK Community Reporting Matrix (Work in progress. v.1) [data set] Manchester: Manchester Metropolitan University. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.25897.90727 Also available from the United Nations, OHCHR, here.
This community monitoring tool directly came out of our earlier recommendations that were accepted at the 20th session, “Leaving no one behind, people of African descent and the Sustainable Development Goals”, 3-7 April 2017
