2024 Module 6 Achieving Sustainable Prosperity through Partnership
Live session 23 November 2024
10:00-16:15
The Sustainable Development Goals are universal, and the call to action continues by all countries across the North/South divide to ensure no one is left behind. It requires partnerships between and within governments, the private sector, and civil society (SDG 17), through a bottom-up approach. Module 6 explores how strategic partnership can be used to promote and attain the prosperity chapters - SDGs 7,8, 9, 10, and 11. Using A4ID projects as examples, we will showcase some practical ways of enhancing international cooperation by illustrating our networks and relationships in programme countries across the world, and highlight actions that the legal community can take to promote global partnership.
