Wada Na Todo (WNTA) and Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (YUVA)!

We cordially invite you to the Consultation "Anchoring Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs) Goal-11 in the Indian Context” on 12 December 2016 at Casurina Hall, India Habitat Centre, Delhi, jointly organized By Youth for Unity And Voluntary Action (Yuva) and Wada Na Todo Abhiyan (WNTA).

The consultation is intended to bring together the eminent personalities from the Civil Society Organizations and and officials from the Government of India to begin a process of anchoring the Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda (NUA) in India’s missions, policies and schemes. It also strives to create awareness on the binding nature of the SDGs. Through the consultation we aim to develop and contextualise indicators for the targets listed under SDG 11and develop an accountability mechanism. 

Objectives;

1.      Map existing national urban development policies and strategies to commitments under the SDGs. 

2.      Assess how we can achieve these goals, especially Goal 11, and unpack its linkages to the New Urban Agenda.

3.      Deliberate if the eradication of poverty and the “leave no one behind” agenda is rooted in India’s current urban policies - question what more needs to be done and what needs to be done differently to realise these goals. 

4.      Develop an urban perspective on all other goals within the ideas of right to the city.

5.      Discuss the role of civil society in supporting the achievement of Goal 11 and the New Urban Agenda. 

Please also find attached a detailed concept note and schedule with the sessions and panelists for your kind reference.
