Description
The Global Forum is a network that connects the knowledge and experience of multi-stakeholder councils, commissions and similar advisory bodies for sustainable development worldwide. The required transformations to achieve the 2030 Agenda are very challenging. To find solutions to these challenges, every country needs to enable negotiation between all stakeholders, consensus building and the involvement of all sectors of society to provide governments advice that integrate the various interests and conflicting positions. This is what Global Forum members do. They therefore have a vital function in helping their governments to navigate through these processes successfully. By providing a network that connects national-level organisations, the Global Forum helps to foster accelerated implementation through fast tracking exchange and learning on what works best to deliver the SDGs. The forum seeks to: • bring organisations together to enable exchanges between members and strategic partners • enable the sharing of insights and learning with others in the network • provide opportunities for members to showcase their work • help members to be better informed about global policy cycles for delivering the SDGs.
The Global Forum enables exchanges between members and strategic partners in a variety of ways: • practitioner-based communities of practice to enable learning on themes identified as being of most interest and importance in their local achievement of the SDGs • working groups that pool knowledge to support the development of innovative trans-national tools • webinars and events that present cutting-edge knowledge and insight to a wider audience and showcase member’s work. • sharing insights and knowledge largely, to date, though commissioned reports and, in the future, short practitioner-focused guides and ‘How to…’ notes, but also by contributing to research. Find all our publications here. • regional exchange to enable learning in similar context situations on the African continent and in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Global Forum has a steering group, that consists of two network members from each continent and is tasked with taking strategic decisions. The steering group is supported by the secretariat and encompasses advising members, as well as observers. The secretariat manages the Global Forum's activities and administration.
