Guide for web application 8.7 I. Why a web application on target 8.7 of the SDGs? Unlike the Millennium Development Goals MDGs (2000) that were conceived as goals to be achieved only by developing countries, the Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015-2030) commits all countries of the world, developed and developing countries, under the Principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibility. Also, unlike the MDGs, which included 8 goals, the 2030 Agenda is broader and includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals with 169 related objectives. It has been qualified as an ambitious but inspiring agenda, as it shows the need to act in a simultaneous manner from a sustainability approach that considers economic, environmental and social development. The 2030 Agenda is characterized by aspects such as interconnection and the indivisibility of the objectives and its goals, as it is understood that it is not possible to advance in achieving some of them without working on the others, which although positive, demand conscious effort of institutions and governments, to ensure an articulated and coordinated action. This approach is crucial to advance in child labour prevention and reduction. In this 2030 Agenda, unlike the MDGs, fight against child labour has a clear and visible place, included in target 8.7 which seeks among other things- to end child labour in all its forms by 2025, and is linked to SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth. This shows that the global analysis finds in the persistence of child and adolescents labour, a barrier that is necessary to overcome in order to achieve the development that we want for the world. In September 2016, during the UN General Assembly in New York several Global Action Initiatives were launched around some SDGs and specific goals. Following the criteria of interconnection and indivisibility, the Regional Initiative Latin America and the Caribbean Free of Child Labour, commissioned a study to analyze the relationship between target 8.7 and other SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. The study identified and analyzed the direct relations with 35 targets of 9 development goals. See complete study at: http://iniciativa2025alc.org/sites/default/files/target8-7-sdg.pdf See executive summary at: http://iniciativa2025alc.org/sites/default/files/target8-7-sdg-summary.pdf 1
The objective of the analysis is to show that achieving the goal to end child labour will allow fulfilling other objectives and goals of the 2030 Agenda and to put the value and revitalize the action of countries in the region on this topic considering that child labour represents a barrier for the achievement of other goals that are a priority or of interest to national government and actors. This web application facilitates access to key information including through social networks. This document provides a practical guide for the use of the web application in the advocacy work of the focal points of the Regional Initiative in their respective countries and groups as well as other actors and partners.
