Let Us Study

As learners, understanding the importance of solidarity is one of

the universal and fundamental values above all else. One of the most
recent human rights on which international relations should be based so
that those who suffer or have less benefit from the help of the more
affluent. Therefore, strengthening of international solidarity in terms of
assistance, development support and cooperation is essential.

Activity 1: Read and study the following discussions and

illustrations presented below.

UNITED NATIONS MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS 2000-

2015

In September 2000, world leaders from 189 countries came

together. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight
goals that all 191 UN member states have agreed to try to achieve by the
year 2015. The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in
September 2000 commits world leaders to combat poverty, hunger,
disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against
women. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are derived from this
Declaration, and all have specific targets and indicators.

 lOMoARcPSD|28633452

The Eight Millennium Development Goals are:

1. to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;
2. to achieve universal primary education;
3. to promote gender equality and empower women;
4. to reduce child mortality;
5. to improve maternal health;
6. to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases;
7. to ensure environmental sustainability; and
8. to develop a global partnership for development.

UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 2015-2030

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the
Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015
as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure
that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. General Assembly
adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on the principle of
“leaving no one behind”, the new Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach
to achieving sustainable development for all.

TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Preamble
This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It
also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize
that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme
poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable
requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all
stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan.
We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and
want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the
bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the
world onto a sustainable and resilient path.

As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will

be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets
which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of
this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium
Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek
to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the
empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible
and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the
economic, social and environmental.

The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen
years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet.

People

We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all forms and

dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential
in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.

Planet

We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including

through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing
its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it
can support the needs of the present and future generations.

Prosperity

We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy

prosperous and fulfilling lives and the economic, social, and technological
progress occurs in the harmony with nature.

Peace

Downloaded by Mari Opoc (mariopoc13@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|28633452

We are determined to foster peaceful, just, and inclusive societies

which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable
development without peace and no peace without sustainable
development.

Partnership

We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement

this Agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable
Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused
in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the
participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.

The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable

Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose
of the new Agenda is realized. If we realize our ambitions across the full
extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our
world will be transformed for the better.

COMMUNITY WELFARE ENGAGEMENT

A Society’s welfare is a multifaceted agenda to tackle. When we say

community welfare, we refer to the set of activities of specific groups of
individuals to achieve their basic needs. The United Nations further
extended the definition of community welfare to coincide with the recent
shifts in a post-war condition and reconstruction.

United Nation 1967:

“Social welfare, as an organized function, is regarded as a body of

activities designed to enable individuals, families, groups, and
communities to cope with the social problems of changing
conditions.”

DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLANNING

Our government created in 2009 under Republic Act 10121 the

National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)
Framework to mobilize government agencies towards a more rounded
approach to risk management and reduction.

The DRRMC strives to coordinate all member agencies in time of

calamities and other emergencies. From all the natural disasters and
calamities, we have to learned that risk reduction starts with the
community which most vulnerable during calamity.

COMMUNITY SECURITY ENGAGEMENT

The Philippine National Police (PNP), since its inception in 1990

through R.A. 6975, has been the focal point of community safety. PNP
personnel are empowered by the mandate to keep the peace and protect
our society from lawlessness and disorder. Their primary mandate is to
enforce the law, protect the public, and create order in our communities.
Chapter III, Section III, Section 24 of R.A. 6975 stipulates the power and
function of our police force

COMMUNITY LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT

Our government created agencies that will help our citizens find
work through technical education and skills development. Leading these
agencies is Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
created under R.A. 7796. Section of the law provides the mandates of
TESDA to carry out its duties of empowering the Philippine workforce by
creating access to jobs and educating workforce while ensuring the quality
of technical skills coincide with internal labor standards.

COMMUNITY YOUTH AND EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT

Department of Education (DepEd) and the National Youth

Commission (NYC) have been instrumental in ensuring a bright future for
the youth.

 lOMoARcPSD|28633452

DepEd is the government agency that is responsible for the

education of the youth. Its purposes and objectives are embodied in
section 3 of R.A. 9155, otherwise known as the Government of Basic
Education Act of 2001.

National Youth Commission (NYC) is mandated by the state to

embody the ideals of the Filipino Youth through nationalism, civic
voluntarism, and proactive citizenship as recognized in R.A. 8044 or the
Youth in National-Building Act of 1994

NYC is the policy coordinating body of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK).

It is undergoing reforms hopefully reinvigorate the organization after
being under public scrutiny.

COMMUNITY HEALTH SUSTAINABILITY

Department of Health (DOH) acts as the central body that mobilizes

local government units and communities in creating solutions to our
current health problems.

Some DOH projects:

1. Botika ng barangay

2. Doctors to the barrios

The Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) was

formally formed by E.O. 131 in 1987 under its former name, Department
of Environment, Energy and Natural Resources (DEENR).

DENR has positioned itself as a community partner in enhancing

community safety during times of calamities. Also, in the past years, it has
focused on mechanisms for risk and damage prevention by partnering
with the LGUs in most projects.
