To implement the SDGs effectively – drawing on the widest possible range of knowledge, experience, expertise, and resource provision –the participation of many types of stakeholders is necessary.
Establishing strong foundations is an important precondition for effective partnering. Preliminary steps should take into account the complementarity and diversity of the partners and how this will work for the benefit of the initiative at hand.
Effective partnering requires a culture of collaboration and communication. That means actively deepening working relationships and building all participants’ capacity to partner.
Partnering for the SDGs requires governance structures that can manage the often complicated, complex, and dynamic nature of multi-stakeholder engagement.
