The debate was moderated by TUAC ’s General Secretary, Pierre Habbar, and the discussants were ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow, OECD DAC Chair Susanna Moorehead, and the Director of the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, Jorge Moreira da Silva.
The debate was complemented by a series of interventions from several DAC delegates and trade union representatives on their contribution to the SDGs.
Among other points, concern was raised regarding the underfunding of development cooperation and the fact that most countries are “off-track” in achieving the SDGs.
Wrapping up the discussion, Pierre Habbard stressed that the Covid-19 recovery must have social dialogue at its centre, include sustainable job creation, and take into both account social protection and the protection of the environment.
