Foundation Values

Environmental Sustainability

1) Does the framework specifically recognise global resource constraints?
2) Does the framework clearly identify future generations as stakeholders in current decision-making?
3) Does the framework clearly link with existing environmental frameworks and processes

Poverty Eradication

Equity and Inclusion

1) Does the framework clearly identify equality of outcomes as part of its purpose?
2) Does the framework identify ways in which equity will be reached and measured across its entirety?
3) Does the framework identify specific groups it seeks to ensure are included and does it provide clear rationale for the selection of those groups?

1) Does each target clearly set expected milestones towards greater equity and equality within the goal?

1) Does each indicator allow for the collection of data disaggregated by key marginalisation factors such as by gender, disability and by age…

Global Responsibility

1) Does the framework clearly identify roles for all states? (other actors?)
2) Do each of these roles have equal responsibility and accountability mechanisms?
3) Are all actors held responsible for all actions, or each for their own?
4) Does the framework clearly establish changes in consumptions patterns required in wealthier countries?

Implementation Values

Accountability

2) Does the framework set out a clear and transparent reporting and review process?
3) Is the accountability mechanism inclusive of a range of stakeholders, including civil society and people living with poverty?

1) Is the monitoring framework clearly targeted at eradication and not reduction?
2) Does the indicator framework as a whole set out specific accountability mechanisms for different state, private, civil society and multinational actors?

1) Does the framework establish milestones for each target and clear accountability mechanisms should progress go off track?
2) Reporting must have maximum transparency of source and use of data.
3) Is the framework based on a systematic disaggregation of data by groups listed above – as well as groups specifically relevant within a national context?

Evidence-Based

Effectiveness

Participation

1) Has the framework demonstrated how it has included stakeholders in its development, particularly people with experience of poverty and marginalisation?

1) Are clear mechanisms established by which stakeholders hold each other to account – particularly the role of people living with poverty in holding state actors to account under international human rights law and standards?
