This section provides a draft of the Purpose of the framework (see here and highlighted text below).

The Purpose is is the role that the international community ascribes to the post-2015 framework and that it should be held accountable to.  The development of the Purpose must include clear accountability for each aspect of the framework, to enable reflection, learning, re-planning and if necessary, changes of direction within -  or even of -  the overall Purpose statement. Above all, the Purpose must direct political, economic and social resources at the issues which matter most to people living in acute poverty and ensure not just absolute improvement in measurable indicators of poverty, but also improvements in the equality of relative progress within those indicators.

Purpose statement (v.2.0)

The Purpose of the framework is to achieve the change needed to secure progress towards our broad Vision. It will do this by:

• Enabling coherence and prioritization of action - identifying what needs to be done to achieve sustainable change which benefits ALL, ensuring coherence between different development and environment agendas, and prioritizing those issues with the greatest potential for delivering progress towards our Vision.

• Securing commitment to action – incentivizing and requiring coordinated, collective action by actors in all countries, at all levels (global, state, private sector, civil society) and focusing economic, natural, political and social resources to drive a process of change.

• Ensuring accountability for action – holding countries and other actors to account in meeting their commitments and achieving impact against the identified goals through transparent mechanisms and processes, including stakeholder participation at all levels.

You can see the previous version (v. 1.0) of this statement here.

Whenever the satisfaction levels on these sections dip below 50%, this will trigger an automatic redraft. There will also be pre-established moments for rewriting, notably ahead of key advocacy moments (eg. January 2013 – ahead of the HLP report, June 2013 – ahead of the UN Special Event, and one further date to tie in with Open Working Group decision-making). You will find more information on this process in Beyond2015's Content Strategy here.
