Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of SIDS

The 30-page Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of SIDS is one of two negotiated outcomes, which was adopted by delegates at the conclusion of the MIM. The introductory paragraphs describe the overarching issues that concern the implementation of the PoA for the sustainable development of SIDS. They also address, inter alia, South-South and SIDS-SIDS cooperation, culture, the role of youth, and gender equality.
The Strategy document then elaborates on a wide range of actions under 20 broad headings:
  • Climate change and sea-level rise paras 16-18);
  • Natural and environmental disasters (para 19);
  • Management of wastes (para 20);
  • Coastal and marine resources (paras 21-26);
  • Freshwater resources (paras 27-31);
  • Land resources (paras 32-40);
  • Energy resources (paras 41-44);
  • Tourism resources (paras 45-47);
  • Biodiversity resources (paras 48-50);
  • Transport and communication, including the development of ICTs and community multimedia centres (paras 51-56);
  • Science and technology (paras 57-62);
  • Graduation from least developed country status (paras 63-64);
  • Trade: globalization and trade liberalization (paras 65-67);
  • Sustainable capacity development and education for sustainable development (paras 68-70 );
  • Sustainable production and consumption (para 71 );
  • National and regional enabling environments, including involving youth in visioning sustainable island living (para 72);
  • Health, including support to address HIV/AIDS (paras 73-74);
  • Knowledge management and information for decision-making (paras 75-76);
  • Culture, including recognition of the importance of cultural identity in advancing sustainable development, the need to develop cultural industries and initiatives, the development and implementation of national cultural policies and legislative frameworks, and measures to protect cultural heritage (para 77);
  • Implementation (paras 78-100).
