ICYMI: Post-HLPF 2026 People’s SpeakOut

Missed the conversation? Watch the recording of the Post-HLPF 2026 People’s SpeakOut organized by the Asia Pacific Regional Civil Society Engagement Mechanism (APRCEM).

Governments recently gathered in New York for the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2026 to review progress on sustainable development. But across Asia and the Pacific, grassroots communities continue to experience the realities of an unjust and unequal development model — from displacement and inequality to the ongoing struggles for rights, justice, and dignity.

The SpeakOut brought together civil society and grassroots voices from across the region to reflect on the outcomes of HLPF 2026 and discuss why global development processes must be rooted in people’s lived realities.

The path toward development justice is driven by people’s collective action. Grassroots movements and communities on the ground must be recognized as key actors in shaping the solutions and actions needed to transform unjust systems.

| ✊📢 At the APRCEM side event “𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁”, civil society voices from Asia and the Pacific spotlighted why the region is falling behind on the SDGs. The issue isn’t a lack of promises- it’s structural barriers like debt burdens, illicit financial flows, shrinking civic space, and policy incoherence that block progress. Speakers called for progressive taxation, distributive fiscal measures, and reforms that align financing with people-centered governance.

💡 Reflections on the 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘰 𝘥𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 revealed both opportunities and challenges. While the framework acknowledges domestic resource mobilization and social protection, concerns remain over its market-driven orientation, limited accountability safeguards, and weak integration of gender equality and climate justice. Civil society stressed the need to move beyond rhetoric toward mechanisms that ensure transparency, equity, and inclusion in financing for development.

🤝 Revitalizing SDG 17 means reclaiming partnerships that truly serve communities. Participants emphasized localization, equitable funding distribution, and accountability that reaches people directly.

‼️From climate resilience in small islands to protecting civic space, the message was clear: commitments must translate into action that prioritizes trust, transparency, and community leadership. Only then can partnerships drive people-centered development forward.

Speakers:
Shilpa Lamichhane, Visible Impact
April Porteria, APWLD - Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development
Akmal Ali, Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations - PIANGO

Moderated by:
Ralf Dugan, Reality of Aid - Asia Pacific

Mitos Urgel of the Social & Community Enterprises Constituency delivers a collective statement under Agenda Item 4c. She asserted that social and community enterprises—built by farmers, women, Indigenous peoples, migrants, refugees, and informal workers—are not market trends but responses to exclusion and exploitation.

She further emphasized: “The real question is not if social enterprises can scale, but if governments are ready to challenge corporate power, unjust debt, and unequal trade. To truly leave no one behind, we must scale justice, not just markets.”

Danish Tariq from the APRCEM Youth, Children and Adolescents Constituency spoke at a panel on the "Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the subregional level." He emphasized the striking gaps in commitments to concretely achieve equity, justice, and accountability.

Danish specifically pointed out critical concerns of the subregions for each SDG under review -- finding a common ground where communities are not meaningfully included in policy-making and implementation. He ended his piece by demanding "to reform the system, to share the power, and to realize " immediately.

Roshni Anwar delivered a powerful collective statement on 'Follow-up on the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development', on behalf of the APRCEM.

She highlighted that the Compromiso de Sevilla fails to call out the increasing military expenditure, anti-people and anti-gender policies, and divestments in public financing for development.

Hence, she recommended that to enable Financing for Development Justice, there should be an establishment of a comprehensive framework of international investment based on the principle of human rights, SDGs, core treaty compatibility, replacing neoliberal instruments like the Investor-State-Dispute-Settlement.

✊ Under the Agenda Item 4 of the ongoing , Review of Regional Progress and Opportunities for Achieving the SDGs, Renuka Kad, from the fisherfolks Constituency of the APRCEM, delivered the collective statement that called the forum to uphold people’s voices in shaping the agenda of our future.

🔈 She also highlighted that the crises are compounded by the role of parallel institutions, such as the IMF-World Bank, with its structural adjustment programs, the WTO pushing for liberalization, privatization, and deregulation, at the expense of state policy, fiscal space, labor, and environmental standards, in the absence of clear accountability mechanisms.

‼️“𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.”

✊ On behalf of the APRCEM constituency of People Living with and Affected by HIV, Sita Shahi urged that reforms should anchor on the colonial origins of underdevelopment and to dismantle colonialities, reforms must be grounded in Southern narratives. Reforms should also enact accountability for actors worsening underdevelopment, whether multilateral, state, or corporate.

ICYMI: Yesterday, Tirtha Prasad Saikia spoke on behalf of the People Affected by Conflicts and Disasters Constituency, stressed that across Asia and the Pacific, communities are living at the intersection of escalating conflicts, climate-induced disasters and deepening inequalities.

He further emphasized: “Yet those most affected are not passive recipients of aid. They are the first responders and custodians of contextual knowledge. Their leadership must be recognized as central - not tokenistic - to sustainable development, peacebuilding and climate action.”

Multilateralism for the Peoples! ✊

During the silent protest right outside the ESCAP hall, Shilpa Lamichhane, one of the new co-chairs of the APRCEM, addressed the urgency in responding to the current crises that are impacting the Asia and the Pacific region.

Multilateralism must be rebuilt with development justice and the voices of the people at the forefront of social transformation.
