Taking place at the start of the 2021 UN Partnership Forum, IOE-KAS-DCO launch their joint publication Playbook: Building Momentum in the Decade of Action through Collaboration between Employers and UN Resident Coordinators. The aim of the Playbook is to fill gaps in understanding and to help UN Resident Coordinators (RCs) and employer organisations find the common language needed for conversations that lead to positive action on the ground. Engagement is a two-way street; RCs and employer organisations both need to take meaningful steps to reach the other and build the partnerships needed to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030). 

The virtual event brings together leaders from the public and private sectors including Ms. Amina J. Mohammed, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Ambassador Mr. Luigi Mattiolo, Diplomatic Advisor to the Prime Minister and G20 Sherpa, and other dignitaries such as Ms. Valerie Julliand, UN Resident Coordinator in Indonesia, leaders of employer organisations and companies such as Microsoft and Arçelik of Koç Holdings, among other experts. The aim is to highlight the importance of multistakeholder collaboration in sustainable development and COVID-19 recovery, while also providing practical and actionable information on how to translate dialogue into action, including through the guidance of the Playbook.
