A/HRC/39/51 discussions on different sustainable development topics, discuss drafts of sustainable development-related strategic action plans before adoption by the Government and publish focus reports with policy recommendations. 46. Finland has reported that two major multi-stakeholder committees had an integral role in the national system to coordinate, implement and follow up on the Sustainable Development Goals. Membership of the committees was broad, thereby ensuring that the voices of civil society organizations, private sector actors, interest groups and other stakeholders were heard. To improve the policy coherence for sustainable development, collaboration between the two committees has been intensified since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, for example, through joint meetings, workshops and discussion papers. Finland reported that the programme “The Finland we want by 2050 — Society’s commitment to sustainable development” had been launched by the Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development in order to engage larger segments of the society in the work on sustainable development. “Society’s commitment” was a multi-stakeholder operational tool and a partnership model that aimed at boosting ownership, concrete action, innovative solutions and impact in the society. By April 2016, over 240 actors from companies to ministries, schools, municipalities and civil society organizations, as well as individuals, had already joined subscribed to “Society’s commitment” by launching their own operational commitments. 47. Madagascar created a committee for guidance and follow-up (composed of representatives of the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Assembly, 13 ministries, the United Nations system and the African Union) and a technical committee for implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, composed of representatives of the United Nations System, technical departments, civil society, the private sector, universities and research centres. 48. In Norway, civil society stakeholders were actively involved and consulted during the post-2015 process, and expressed strong interest in being involved in the implementation of and follow-up to the 2030 Agenda. The Philippines reported on the “SDG Youth National Convergence”, which consisted of youth leaders from different sectors committing to working towards the Sustainable Development Goals. During the Rio+20 process, Turkey had set up a “24 best practice examples” programme, for which good practices for implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals were selected based on applications from public institutions, the private sector, civil society and academia. Georgia reported in 2016 that business, civil society and academia were already involved in efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals, and that the scope and depth of their engagement would grow as the adjusted priorities and indicators were presented for general review and consultation. Those non-governmental bodies were expected to play a crucial role in offering feedback, policy advice and participating at the central and local levels. 49. In relation to including specific groups in the sustainable development processes, Costa Rica reported that, although progress had been made in recent years, consultations with persons from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, intersex and queer/questioning communities had identified major obstacles to the adequate and real implementation of relevant policies and regulations by the institutional bodies. Specialized units with a human rights approach had been established with a view to providing dignified health care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, intersex and queer/questioning communities. Nepal reported that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, intersex and queer/questioning persons represented one of the 23 groups identified for the Sustainable Development Goal discussion forum for civil society. 50. In their reports, countries have considered indigenous peoples both as a group in need of concerted support and as actors engaged in enhanced implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. In Nepal, the amended Civil Service Act reserved a percentage of public service positions for women and marginalized groups, including dalits, indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities. Malaysia noted that one of its future aims was leveraging indigenous and local communities in the management of natural resources, as well as empowering them to give or withhold consent to proposed projects that could affect their access to land. Chile reported on the specific challenges that its indigenous population had faced, including high multidimensional poverty rates, and that the results of 15
