Engagement and Advocacy

engagement 2Governments cannot achieve sustainable development on their own. If the international processes currently underway are to be successful in their aim to establish a development framework that meets today’s global needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own, then these processes need to inclusive, transparent, and based upon a diversity of perspectives and experience. Stakeholders at the national, regional and global level will be vital to the implementation and monitoring of a future development framework and therefore have a vested interest in its design.

The importance of multi-stakeholder input and buy-in to the success of a future development agenda has been recognised at the international level and a number of UN-led global consultations have been launched to seek views on a new development framework, and provide evidence and perspectives on the sustainable development challenges people face.

This section of the website aims to encourage and support stakeholders to engage with these consultations and the international processes more widely, in particular the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. This section also provides resources to help stakeholders to develop their own advocacy strategies and conduct advocacy around these processes.
