Information Sharing – August 2018
Please, check the information below about the launching of a practical guide on partnerships for SDGs and an open call for good practices on SDG implementation.
Maximizing the impact of partnerships for the SDGs – A Practical Guide
The Partnering Initiative and United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development Goals
Launched in July 2018, this guidebook aims at supporting organizations and partnerships to maximize the value created by collaboration towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The guidebook deconstructs what “value” means and the types of value that partnerships can create. It also explores the range of partnerships that can be established and how the nature of the partnership influences the type of value created for the partners and for beneficiaries.
Understanding these issues in greater detail should support organizations in the process of identifying, designing and managing effective partnerships that deliver the greatest value, and to think more ambitiously and creatively about how they partner. Download the report here.
Good Practices, Success Stories and Lessons Learned in SDG Implementation –
Call for Submissions to Open on 1st November
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) is launching a call for submissions of good practices, success stories and lessons learned in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. The submissions will be analyzed by a dedicated inter-agency team coordinated by UN DESA, and the results will be made available online for easy access and broad dissemination. Where applicable, the submissions can serve as inputs to thematic preparations for the 2019 sessions of the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF).
An event will be organized in the lead-up to the 2019 HLPF convened under the auspices of the General Assembly to showcase a selection of the good practices and success stories and to present the main findings of the evidence-based stock-taking. More information can be found here.
