Iziko laMazwe ngaMazwe le-Ethno-Religious Mediation (“ICERM”) liyaziqhenya ngokuba phakathi kwemibutho ezimiseleyo yobukhulu nogxininiso, ukusuka kumazwe kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye sifuna ukusebenzisana nawe kunye ne-UN ngokugqithisa konke okulindelweyo kwi-2030. I-ajenda.

I-ICERM yanikwa iwonga lokubonisana elikhethekileyo, ngokuyinxenye, ngokusekelwe kubuchule bayo obukhethekileyo kwi-SDG 17: UXolo, uBulungisa kunye namaZiko aQoqisileyo. Amava ethu kulamlo kunye neendlela ezipheleleyo zokudala uxolo oluzinzileyo zibonelela ngamathuba okwandisa iingxoxo ezahlukeneyo kunye nezibandakanya i-UN iququzelela-kwaye kuya kufuneka ukuba kufezekiswe zonke ii-SDGs. Nangona kunjalo singumbutho omtsha kunye omncinci osafunda ukuzulazula kubume obuntsonkothileyo be-UN. Asisoloko sifumana ulwazi ngeziganeko apho sinokuba nexabiso elikhulu khona. Oku, ewe, ngamanye amaxesha kuyasilela ukuthatha kwethu inxaxheba. Ke, nazi iimpendulo zethu kwimibuzo ebuziweyo.

• Ingaba ii-NGOs zingaphinda zibe negalelo njani kumsebenzi we-ECOSOC kunye namaqumrhu ayo ancedisayo?

Ngokuphunyezwa kwe-Indico, kubonakala ngathi kuya kuba neendlela ezingcono ze-UN kunye ne-ECOSOC zokubandakanya ii-NGOs, ngokusekelwe kwizakhono zabo ezizodwa. Sinochulumanco malunga namathuba enkqubo entsha, kodwa sisafunda indlela yokuyisebenzisa ngempumelelo. Ngaloo ndlela, uqeqesho luya kuba yingenelo kakhulu kuye wonke umntu obandakanyekileyo.

Kubonakala ngathi ii-NGOs ziya kukwazi ukugcina amaxwebhu, imbalelwano, kunye nolunye ulwazi malunga nobuchule babo, ukugxila kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba. Nangona kunjalo uqeqesho luya kuqinisekisa ukuba amandla ezi mpawu anyusiwe. Ngokufanayo, ulwazi kunye noqeqesho malunga nothethwano olusebenzayo lunokwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle kokuthatha inxaxheba kweeNGO.

Kubonakala ngathi kukho ukuphucuka okuqhubekayo kwezi nkalo, nto leyo ethakazelelwa kakhulu. Sicinga ukuba sithetha ngazo zonke ii-NGOs xa sisithi sizimisele ngokunzulu ekuxhaseni uthumo lwe-UN kunye nee-SDGs, kodwa kuhlala kunzima kuthi ukufumanisa indlela yokufikelela ngcono kumaqumrhu ancedisayo kunye nabantu esinokuzuza kakhulu. Sinethamsanqa lokuba uMongameli wethu kunye ne-CEO, u-Basil Ugorji, wayengumsebenzi we-UN ngaphambi kokuseka i-ICERM.

Nokuba kunjalo, uphuculo lunokwenziwa kwicala lethu ngokuthi:

1. Ukuseka iishedyuli zethu zokujonga i-UN kunye neewebhusayithi zeminyhadala ukuchonga amathuba okuthatha inxaxheba. Umsebenzi wethu ubaluleke gqitha ukuba silindele izimemo, nangona zamkelekile yaye ziluncedo xa zisiza.
2. Ukuhambelana nezinye ii-NGOs ezabelana ngeenjongo zethu. Ngabangaphezu kwama-4,500, ngokuqinisekileyo bakho abanye esinokusebenzisana nabo.
3. Ukucwangcisa iinkcazo kwangaphambili ngemixholo ekunokuthethwa ngayo kwimisitho yonyaka. Xa sele sichaze ukulungelelaniswa kwethu kunye ne-SDGs, i-Global Compact, kunye ne-Agenda ye-2030, kuya kuba lula ukuba siziguqule ukuze zihambelane neengqungquthela zeseshoni.

I-UN kunye ne-ECOSOC inokuphucula igalelo le-NGO ngoku:

1. Unxibelelwano lweseshoni kunye neentsuku zomsitho ubuncinci beentsuku ezingama-30 kwangaphambili. Ngenxa yokuba uninzi lwethu kufuneka luhambe kwaye lulungiselele ukuba kude kwezinye izibophelelo, isaziso esiphambili sixatyiswa kakhulu. Ngokufanayo, iingxelo zethu ezibhaliweyo nezithethiweyo ziya kujoliswa ngakumbi kwaye zicokiseke, ukuba sinikwa ixesha elingakumbi lokuphanda nokuzilungiselela.
2. Ukukhuthaza amaphulo, oonozakuzaku kunye noonozakuzaku ukuba badibane neeNGO. Sifuna ukuxhasa abo banokuba nemilinganiselo efana neyethu, abasukela imibono efanayo, nabanokungenelwa kubuchule bethu obukhethekileyo. Ngamanye amaxesha, okona kulungileyo ukuba sikwenze oku kwiimeko ezisondeleleneyo kwaye unyaka wonke, hayi kwimisitho yonyaka.
3. Ukunika uqeqesho olungakumbi kunye neengxoxo, ezifana nale. Nceda usixelele into oyifunayo, oyifunayo, kwaye uyilindele. Silapha ukuze sikhonze. Ukuba asikwazi ukubonelela ngeenkonzo okanye izisombululo eziceliweyo, sisenokuba nezixhobo esinokukuthumela kuzo. Masibe ngamaqabane akho, abanxibelelanisi, kunye nezixhobo.

• Zeziphi ezona ndlela zisebenzayo zeeNGOs ukuba zenze igalelo ekwenziweni komgaqo-nkqubo weZizwe eziManyeneyo, ziqondwe kwaye zibe nefuthe kwezi nkqubo?

Nangona siyixabisa kakhulu inkqubo evuleleke kakhulu kwiinkomfa ezininzi kunye nemisitho, sihlala sikhutshelwa ngaphandle kwezo zibandakanya isakhono esikhethekileyo esithe sanikwa iwonga lokubonisana. Oku kusishiya ukuba siphande ngokuzimeleyo iindlela zokuzama ukufikelela kunye nokugxila kwiiseshoni ezinganxulumananga ngokuthe ngqo nobuchule bethu. Isiphumo asisebenzi kuthi sonke, njengoko iingxelo zidla ngokuphuma emxholweni ukuze zifumane ingqwalasela yesizathu esithile, kodwa mhlawumbi phakathi kwabantu abangenagunya lokwenza nantoni na. Kuya kuba luncedo kakhulu ukulungelelanisa ii-NGOs kunye nobuchule bazo kunye neemfuno ze-ECOSOC, ukuqinisekisa ukuba abo banomdla kunye nabanamava basebenzisana kwiinjongo ezithile. Umzekelo, i-ICERM iya kubandakanywa kwiingxoxo zokwenza uxolo kwaye inokubizwa xa ukungavisisani okanye ungquzulwano oluphezulu kulindeleke ngexesha leseshoni.

• Ngokwembono yombutho wakho kufuneka kwenziwe ntoni ukubonelela ngenkxaso engcono kwii-NGOs ngexesha lenkqubo yokufumana iwonga lokubonisana ne-ECOSOC?

Sijonge iinzame ezintsha ngomdla omkhulu kwaye okwangoku asinazo iingcebiso kule ndawo. Enkosi ngokunikezela ngoqeqesho olongezelelweyo kunye namathuba afana nala.

• Kunokwandiswa njani ukuthatha inxaxheba kwee-NGOs ezivela kumazwe asakhasayo kunye namazwe anoqoqosho kwinguqu kumsebenzi we-UN?

Kwakhona, ngetekhnoloji, kubonakala ngathi kukho amandla amakhulu okudibanisa ii-NGOs kwihlabathi liphela kunye ne-UN. Ukukhuthaza kunye nokuququzelela intsebenziswano kunokunyusa inxaxheba yee-NGOs ezivela kumazwe asakhasayo kwaye ibonise umzekelo onamandla wendlela esinokusebenzisana ngayo ngcono kunye kuwo onke amanqanaba.

• Nje ukuba imeko yokubonisana inikwe imibutho, ii-NGOs zinokufikelela njani ngokungcono kumathuba anikiweyo okuthatha inxaxheba kwiinkqubo ze-UN?

Singathanda ukubona unxibelelwano olusexesheni noluthe rhoqo malunga neziganeko ezahlukeneyo kunye namathuba, ngakumbi kwiinkalo zethu zokugxila kunye nobuchule. Sicinga ukuba i-Indico iya kuba nako ukutyhala izaziso kwii-NGOs, kodwa asikafumani umxholo ofanelekileyo xa siwufuna. Ngoko ke, asisoloko sithatha inxaxheba kumanqanaba ethu aphezulu. Ukuba sinokukhetha iindawo ekugxilwe kuzo kwi-Indico kwaye sibhalisele izaziso ezikhethiweyo, sinokucwangcisa ukubandakanyeka kwethu ngcono. Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi kwii-NGOs, ezifana ne-ICERM, enabasebenzi bokuzithandela abaqeshwe ngokusisigxina okanye amashishini alawula ngaphandle komsebenzi wabo we-UN okanye nee-NGOs ezisebenza ngaphandle kweSixeko saseNew York.
