Activités des Institutions de l'OCI en rapport avec les Objectifs

Activités des Institutions de l'OCI en rapport avec les

Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) classés par ordre

de priorité

Le développement durable a été inscrit à l'ordre du jour du COMCEC en 2014, avant même

l'adoption du programme de développement durable 2030 et des ODD par le Sommet

Extraordinaire des Nations Unies en septembre 2015. Le programme de Développement

Durable 2030 et les ODD comprennent de nombreux objectifs à atteindre d'ici 2030 par

tous les pays, quel que soit leur niveau de développement. Avec un programme ambitieux

comprenant 17 objectifs et 169 cibles, la réalisation des ODD nécessite une coopération

multilatérale efficace entre les pays, y compris les pays membres de l'OCI. Dans ce cadre,

la mise en œuvre des ODD dans les pays membres de l'OCI est suivi de près dans le cadre

du COMCEC.

Depuis 2015, des efforts considérables ont été déployés sous l'égide du COMCEC.

Conformément à la résolution de la 30ème session du COMCEC, le Bureau de Coordination

du COMCEC (CCO) et la Banque de Développement Islamique (BID) ont mené une étude

conjointe sur les facteurs critiques de succès pour la mise en œuvre des ODD dans les pays

membres de l'OCI. Pour la mise en œuvre effective des ODD dans les pays membres de

l'OCI, l'étude a mis en avant cinq facteurs critiques de succès : la gouvernance, les données

et la surveillance, le renforcement des capacités, les finances et la cohérence des

politiques.

Par ailleurs, la BID et le CCO, en coopération avec le SESRIC, le CIDC, l'CICIA et l’INMPI, ont

mené l'étude intitulée "Contributions des institutions de l'OCI à la réalisation des objectifs

de développement durable (ODD)" présentée à 32ème session de la COMCEC.

En outre, le SESRIC a mené une enquête sur les tendances des objectifs de développement

durable des pays membres de l'OCI entre 2015 et 2018 et a soumis un rapport à la 34ème

session du COMCEC sur les résultats de l'enquête et les domaines de développement des

objectifs prioritaires. Satisfait de ce rapport, la 34ème session du COMCEC a demandé au

Bureau de Coordination du COMCEC de compiler les activités liées aux ODD des

institutions concernées de l'OCI dans les domaines prioritaires des ODD.

Ainsi, les institutions concernées de l'OCI, notamment le groupe de la BID, l'ICCIA, le CIDC,

le SMIIC et le SESRIC, et le bureau de coordination du COMCEC ont établi la liste ci-jointe

de leurs activités liées aux ODD mises en œuvre / en cours d'exécution en 2019 et de leurs

activités prévues pour 2020. Les institutions de l'OCI concernées mènent, dans le cadre

de leurs domaines de compétences, diverses activités de renforcement des capacités et de

partage d'expérience afin de contribuer et faciliter la mise en œuvre des objectifs de

développement durable prioritaires dans les pays membres et de faciliter.

University of Uganda (IUIU), organised a

technical mission to investigate the vegetable

growing techniques on 12-14 March 2019 in

Kampala, Uganda.

The visit was part of a pilot project designed

by the Islamic University of Uganda to

enhance the capacities of rural imams in

Eastern Uganda in modern agriculture

production, communication and counselling.

Financial constraints and the lack of basic

skills of effective communication and

counselling among imams, make them face

challenges in performing their duties. Most of

them do not have other sources of income

other than what they collect from the

community and most of the times their job is

being carried out on a voluntary base. This

situation has resulted in many leaving rural

areas for better opportunities in urban centers.

In consideration of that, a team of experts

from Alata Horticultural Research Institute in

Mersin, Turkey, visited various stakeholders

in the capital of Uganda, Kampala, to discuss

ideas on how to develop the project in the

area of subject matter.

Taking into consideration that 80% of

Ugandan households are involved in

agriculture, imparting agricultural skills is a

viable and sustainable venture.
