Activities
As a convenor, we bring together development cooperation providers (donors),
partner country governments and CSOs to engage in open and inclusive dialogue
to find common ground. As a knowledge broker, we raise awareness on
international commitments on CSOs in development and offer guidance,
evidence and practical tools to further their implementation.
9 July 2019 - 18 July 2019
HLPF Side-event
The 2019 High Level Political Forum (HLPF), with the theme empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality, will take place 9-18 July 2019 in New York. Both SDG 16 (on peaceful, just and inclusive societies) and SDG 17 (which includes multi-stakeholder partnerships) will undergo an in-depth review. Given their relevance to the Task Team’s work, the Task Team is considering organizing a side-event on these SDGs.
Background
The Task Team engages with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) because of their relevance to the Task Team’s work (link to about us). CSOs are expected to play a critical role in the SDGs, both as implementers and as watchdogs for accountability. Every year, progress in the realization of the SDGs is reviewed at global level at the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) in New York. The theme of the 2019 HLPF is empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality. The SDGs that will be subjected to an in-depth review are: SDG 4 (education and lifelong learning), 8 (sustainable economic growth and decent work for all), 10 (reduced inequality), 13 (climate change), 16 (peaceful, just and inclusive societies) and 17 (means of implementation).
Side-event SDGs 16 and 17
SDGs 16 (on peaceful, just and inclusive societies) and SDG 17 (which includes multi-stakeholder partnerships) are highly relevant to the Task Team’s work. The same can be said of the theme for the upcoming HLPF. The Task Team is therefore considering the organization of a side-event. The side-event will focus specifically on multi-stakeholder partnerships in advancing the SDGs as part of SDG 17. It will also raise awareness on international commitments made on the role of CSOs in development. These are as relevant now, as when they were established, given the role that CSOs are expected to play in the implementation and realization of SDG 17, and therefore, all SDGs. More information to follow soon!
