Stakeholder Engagement and Partnerships
Introduction
Why partnerships?
The ambitions of the 2030 Agenda are unprecedented in scope and cannot be achieved by the resources and reach of the United Nations (UN) and governments alone. Meeting these ambitions requires the scale, innovation and expertise of diverse partners – from the private sector and civil society to academia, philanthropy and local communities. Harnessing the unique strengths of each actor is essential for advancing sustainable development.
At the same time, the 2030 Agenda offers significant opportunities for all sectors – from businesses accessing new markets and strengthening resilience, to civil society and academia shaping inclusive solutions, to investors mobilizing resources for long-term impact. Unlocking these opportunities through effective, cross-sectoral partnerships is critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Harnessing private sector potential for the SDGs
Our learning offer is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to build impactful alliances with the private sector. Our programmes help stakeholders understand the imperative of private sector engagement, apply practical frameworks for partnership design and strengthen due diligence and risk management practices.
Participants also build advocacy and negotiation skills to embed sustainability at the heart of business models and investment strategies. By exploring innovative financing models and resource mobilization practices, our courses prepare actors across sectors to navigate an evolving partnership landscape and unlock the private sector’s full potential for advancing the SDGs.
