The Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development
(PPGD) rests on a vision of development that is equitable ,
sustainable, free from violence, respectful of human rights,
supportive of self-determination and the actualization of
human potentials, and participatory and empowering . It
places people at the center and aims to make development
work for all groups. However, it recognizes that
discrimination exists on the basis of gender, class and
ethnicity. In the light of historical gender inequalities and
inequities, it puts greater emphasis on women as a
disadvantaged group. It is in here where gender and
development was anchored into.
The Magna Carta of Women (MCW) is a comprehensive

This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also
seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that
eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is
the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable
development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership,
will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny
of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take
the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto
a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge
that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169
targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this
new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals
and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of
all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable
development: the economic, social and environmental.
The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen years in
areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet:
a) People. We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and
dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in
dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
c) Prosperity. We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy
prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological
progress occurs in harmony with nature.
The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are
of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized. If
we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be
profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better.
