Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Editor's Notes
Intro;
Ask how many know the principles of effective development cooperation – the four principles
How many know something about the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation;
How many were at the latest High-Level Meeting in Nairobi at the end 2016;
Few days, talked about SDG implementation efforts in complex, dynamic and interconnected landscape.
Before talking a bit about the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation, 2slides to contextualize effective development cooperation in these conversations we have had.
experience and examples shared in the workshop and scanning of 2017 VNRs shed light on the implementation of effective development cooperation principles.
1. Countries are taking steps to strengthen cohesive national frameworks to facilitate coherence (i.e. strengthening country planning, reflection on financing systems to resource complex, integrated agenda through INFF concept,) some countries are also exploring strengthening the inter-connection/linkages of how planning and financing systems work in tandem (linking planning with budgeting). We also talked about coordination mechanism for horizontal and vertical integration.
Countries including Azerbaijan, Botwana, Iran, Kenya, Portugal and Sweden, among others, report that they have institutionalised co-ordination mechanisms for planning and management of the SDGs across government ministries. Countries are also recognising the need for holistic financing. For example, Bangladesh is currently determining its financing needs for SDG implementation, with a view to mobilising resources, through a needs assessment and holistic financing
strategy.
2. Increase effective partnerships with business. Vast resources are needed to achieve the 2030 Agenda. Our earlier discussions and VNRs indicate the board support for strong and innovative partnerships for resourcing and implementing the SDGs,, and looking at ways in which to increase effective partnerships with business/private sector, and how development cooperation can support leveraging those investment and actions.
3. More diverse partnerships can increase the expertise, technological and financial resources required to achieve the SDGs. Some countries have created multi-stakeholder institutional frameworks or dialogue platforms to guide the joint efforts for SDGs implementation at the country level. Many countries are also taking steps to drive a whole of society approach and strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration beyond consultation to harnessing actions, knowledge, expertise and assets.
In their respective VNRs, the Maldives, Tajikistan and Zimbabwe report that they have created SDG co-ordination or technical committees of development stakeholders including government, civil society, the private sector and others. Likewise, the Netherlands and Portugal have widley consulted civil society on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda at the national and local levels. Participatory formulation of national development plans to help leave no-one behind. Belize, Indonesia and Jordan report that they have consulted non-governmental actors such as civil society and the private sector while formulating their national development plans.
4. The role of international development cooperation to also be looked at within the complex, dynamic and inter-related landscape.
Live in inter-related world. Policy, instruments, approach, actions behavior by partners have impacts in a way in which partners engage and support country level implementation efforts, engaging in multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Effective development cooperation is about improving the interface between partners and country-level implementation frameworks and strengthening the role of development cooperation. Principles of effective development cooperation guide the efforts by all to improve this interface and to strengthen quality of partnerships. Because of the inter-connected world, the principles intend to facilitate some changes in policies, instruments, behaviour of development stakeholders (government, partners, etc., etc.) to make their cooperation more effective.
The principles – informing new ways of working –supporting process of policy coherence, integration, and implementation.
Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation is a unique multi-stakeholder platform to advance the effectiveness of development efforts by all actors.
The Nairobi HLM reflected these dynamic, complex and inter-related work, and revisited the vision of the Global Partnership to maximize effectiveness of all forms of cooperation for development for the shared benefits of people, planet, prosperity and peace;
Nairobi HLM attended by more than 4000 from over 130 countries.
Renewed mandate of the Global Partnership – set out five core functions: Explain five core functions. For 2017-2018, special focus on promoting private sector engagement and learning from different modalities as key issues for specialized dialogue.
One of the key flagship deliverable is: Monitoring – generating data and evidence on effective development cooperation
One of the key flagship deliverable is: Monitoring – generating data and evidence on effective development cooperation
Purpose: incentivise and guide changes in practices and behavior. And monitor at country level – led by country through a set of 10 indicators. Monitoring the progress in implementation of the principles.
GPEDC being country-focus, the monitoring is undertaken under the country leadership using country mechanism. In 2016– 81 countries undertook monitoring of effective development cooperation –over 125 countries data provided, with 81 countries undertook monitoring of effective development cooperation at the country level.
Data and evidence culminated in global progress report that provided inputs to the Nairobi HLM 2.
