Project LOCAL 2030

The success of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals hinges on effective collaboration between all relevant actors. Knowledge, resources, skills, and partnerships will need to be mobilized on an unprecedented scale to implement all of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Local2030: Localizing the SDGs is a network and platform that supports the on-the-ground delivery of the SDGs, with a focus on that furthest behind. It is a convergence point between local and regional governments and their associations, national governments, businesses, community-based organizations and other local actors, and the United Nations system. Local2030 supports local leaders in collaboratively incubating and sharing solutions, unlocking bottlenecks, and implementing strategies that advance the SDGs at the local level.

SIA - SUSTAINABLE IMPACT ALLIANCE

The Sustainable Impact Alliance (SIA) is a collaborative framework that aims to help local stakeholders address societal issues in a sustainable way. The SIA focuses on promoting transparency, accountability, and data-driven solutions to tackle challenges related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The SIA brings together diverse stakeholders such as businesses, civil society organizations, government agencies, academic institutions, and community groups to work towards shared goals. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the SIA seeks to build capacity, promote innovation, and drive systemic change.

One key feature of the SIA is its emphasis on data-driven decision making. The alliance works to promote the collection and analysis of high-quality data that can inform evidence-based policies and programs. This approach helps to ensure that resources are directed to where they can have the greatest impact, and that progress towards sustainable development goals is accurately measured and tracked over time.

Overall, the Sustainable Impact Alliance is a promising initiative that seeks to promote sustainable development through collaboration, transparency, and data-driven decision making.
