Event Description
Currently, the global community is living through an unprecedented period of overlapping global crises - food security, public health and education systems, climate change and other interlinked and cross-boundaries development issues. The situation has emphasized the need to work together across countries to bounce back and build resilience post-pandemic recovery.
The UN recognizes Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (also known as MSPs) as crucial to the 2030 Agenda. Often defined as initiatives involving governments, intergovernmental bodies, civil society, the private sector and other stakeholders in pursuit of a common goal or commitment, MSPs bring together different stakeholders for innovative solutions around resource mobilization (finance, knowledge, and capacities) as well as strengthen the ownership of development efforts.
In this context, the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) brings diverse development actors together through a principle-led approach to foster trust and policy action in countries.
The GPEDC’s flagship monitoring exercise provides fresh evidence on the four effectiveness principles - country ownership, focus on results, inclusive partnerships, and transparency and mutual accountability - empowering country-level actors to identify and tackle challenges for better development co-operation. The monitoring exercise entails a process of multi-stakeholder participation, data collection, and dissemination of results, leading to a period of strategic reflection, dialogue, and action towards achievement of the Agenda 2030. As the official source of data for three of the SDG targets (SDG 5.c, SDG 17.15 and SDG 17.16), it drives collective accountability and enhances countries’ Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) with insights on opportunities for accelerating SDG implementation.
