Planning

Economic Recovery Plans Post-Pandemic

Key Considerations:

• Focus on marginalized groups like indigenous populations, rural entrepreneurs, and informal workers.

• Integrate sustainability (e.g., green infrastructure) into recovery strategies.

• Highlight the role of global frameworks like the UNDP's green recovery efforts.

• Suggest targeted financial assistance (grants, micro-loans) and capacity-building initiatives.

Research Points:

• Look at your delegation’s recovery strategies and their emphasis on sustainability.

• Investigate successful case studies (e.g., how specific countries supported marginalized communities post-pandemic).

• Develop inclusive policies that address unique local challenges.

2. Global Access to Education and Healthcare in Conflict Zones

 Key Considerations:

• Address systemic challenges like displacement, destroyed infrastructure, and governance collapse.

• Advocate for long-term solutions rather than short-term emergency measures.

• Emphasise the link between education and peace-building, and healthcare as a stabilizing force.

Strategies:

• Recommend partnerships between UN agencies (e.g., UNICEF, WHO) and local organizations.

• Propose secure learning and health facilities in conflict zones with international monitoring.

• Highlight the importance of funding to support rebuilding infrastructure.

Focus Areas:

• Case studies (e.g., education in Syria, healthcare in Sudan).

• Role of technology in bridging access gaps (e.g., mobile health units, online education).

3. Achieving Gender Equality Without Marginalizing Men and Boys

Key Considerations:

• Promote inclusive dialogue to engage men and boys as allies (e.g., HeForShe campaign).

• Address challenges like mental health stigma and rigid gender norms impacting men.

• Develop policies to ensure equity, not superiority, in opportunities and rights.

Action Points:

• Advocate for inclusive education campaigns that deconstruct harmful stereotypes.

• Propose workplace reforms ensuring balanced representation and safety.

• Push for stronger international legal frameworks and monitoring mechanisms for gender equality.

Research Points:

• Explore your delegation’s stance on gender norms and equality measures.

• Highlight successful programs addressing intersectional challenges.
