National Government
The report of the High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (May 2013) describes the specific role national governments have play in the new global partnership as follows:
National governments have the central role and responsibility for their own development and for ensuring universal human rights. They decide on national targets, taxes, policies, plans and regulations that will translate the vision and goals of the post-2015 agenda into practical reality.
They have a role in every sector and at many levels – from negotiating international trade or environmental agreements to creating an enabling environment for business and setting environmental standards at home.
