The Report underscores the need for five big transformative shifts. First, it calls for leaving no one behind, touching upon our concern that the MDGs were mostly silent on the issues of equality. Putting sustainable development at the core recognizes the significant interlinkages between economic, social and environmental sustainability, and the importance of tackling climate change. The call to transform economies for jobs and inclusive growth echoes our vision to assist Africa in embarking on a structural economic transformation, focused at diversified economies, creating employment and adding value to natural resources. The Report goes on to urge for building peaceful and effective, open and accountable institutions for all. This, coupled with the fifth key point of forging global partnerships takes into account the need for good governance at the local, nation, regional and global level. The Report also emphasis on a data revolution to improve the quantity and quality of statistics available for monitoring development indicators.
