A/RES/S-21/2 Page 23 90. Governments, civil society organizations at the national level and the United Nations system are urged to consult youth organizations in the design, implementation and evaluation of policies and programmes for youth. VI. MOBILIZING RESOURCES 91. Increased political will from all Governments and reaffirmation of the commitment for mobilization of international assistance, as was agreed at Cairo, are urgently needed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action which, in turn, will contribute to the advancement of the broad population and development agenda. 92. All developed countries are urged to strengthen their commitment to the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action, in particular its cost estimates, and to make every effort to mobilize the agreed estimated financial resources required for its implementation; in so doing, the needs of least developed countries should receive priority. 93. All developing countries and countries with economies in transition are urged to strengthen their commitment to the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action, in particular its cost estimates, and to continue to make efforts to mobilize domestic resources. Developing and developed countries and countries with economies in transition are urged to promote international cooperation and to increase technical cooperation and transfer of technology through South-South cooperation, in order to implement fully the Programme of Action. 94. Donor countries and international funding agencies are urged to support the inclusion of South-South components in development cooperation programmes and projects so as to promote cost-effectiveness and sustainability. 95. Translation of commitment to the goals of the International Conference on Population and Development into commensurate levels of donor funding has not been forthcoming, and there is an urgent need for donor countries to renew and intensify efforts to meet the need for complementary external resources required to implement the costed elements of the Programme of Action, namely, in 1993 United States dollars, $5.7 billion in 2000, $6.1 billion in 2005, $6.8 billion in 2010 and $7.2 billion in 2015. Donor countries are also urged to increase significantly official development assistance funding for other elements of the Programme of Action as contained in chapter XIII thereof, in particular, improvement in the status and empowerment of women, basic health care and education, emerging and continued health challenges, such as malaria and other diseases identified by the World Health Organization as having a major impact on health, including those having the highest mortality and morbidity rates; and to intensify efforts to help countries to eradicate poverty. Donor countries are therefore urged to take the necessary action to reverse the current decline in overall official development assistance and should strive to fulfil the agreed target of 0.7 per cent of gross national product for overall official development assistance as soon as possible. 96. With full regard to their respective jurisdiction and mandates, legislators and other decision makers are encouraged to undertake measures to increase support for achieving the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action through legislation, advocacy and expanded awareness-raising and resource mobilization. Advocacy efforts should be increased at all levels, both national and international, to ensure that the resource goals are met. /...
