A new partnership should be based on a common understanding of our shared humanity, underpinning mutual respect and mutual benefit in a shrinking world.

This partnership should involve governments but also include others: people living in poverty, those with disabilities, women, civil society and indigenous and local communities, traditionally marginalised groups, multilateral institutions, local and national government, the business community, academia and private philanthropy.

• Each priority area identified in the post-2015 agenda should be supported by dynamic partnerships.

It is time for the international community to use new ways of working, to go beyond an aid agenda and put its own house in order:

• to implement a swift reduction in the following;

• corruption,
• illicit financial flows,
• money-laundering, tax evasion, and
• hidden ownership of assets.

We must fight climate change, champion free and fair trade, technology innovation, transfer and
diffusion, and promote financial stability.

And since this partnership is built on principles of common humanity and mutual respect, it must also have a new spirit and be completely transparent.

Everyone involved must be fully accountable.
