the needs of adolescents and the rural and the urban poor, and on ensuring the
safety of services and their responsiveness to women, men and adolescents. In
mobilizing resources for these purposes, countries should examine new modalities
such as increased involvement of the private sector, the selective use of user
fees, social marketing, cost-sharing and other forms of cost recovery. However,
these modalities must not impede access to services and should be accompanied
with adequate "safety net" measures.
13.23. Governments, non-governmental organizations, the private sector and
local communities, assisted upon request by the international community, should
strive to mobilize the resources needed to reinforce social development goals,
and in particular to satisfy the commitments Governments have undertaken
previously with regard to Education for All (the Jomtien Declaration), the
multisectoral goals of the World Summit for Children, Agenda 21 and other
relevant international agreements, and to further mobilize the resources needed
to meet the goals in the present Programme of Action. In this regard,
Governments are urged to devote an increased proportion of public-sector
expenditures to the social sectors, as well as an increased proportion of
official development assistance, stressing, in particular, poverty eradication
within the context of sustainable development.
13.24. Governments, international organizations and non-governmental
organizations should collaborate on an ongoing basis in the development of
precise and reliable cost estimates, where appropriate, for each category of
investment.
