Palestinian Coalition for SDGs
Description
The Coalition objectives:<br />
• Establish national partnerships between various stakeholders towards realization of SDGs 2030, especially at the levels of planning, implementation, and monitoring, all the while ensuring that national policies are aligned towards achieving SDGs.<br />
• Consolidate the efforts of civil society, the private sector, and the public in challenging the political, economic, social, and environmental constraints that hinder the realization of SDGs 2030.<br />
• Mobilize local and national resources needed to realize SDGs 2030.<br />
• Encourage exchange of experiences, best practices, initiatives, and innovative models that mainstream SDGs in the work of all stakeholders.<br />
<br />
The Coalition roles:<br />
• Develop a road map for civil society efforts contributing to SDGs 2030, and preparing annual reports that reveal these efforts and contributions.<br />
• Active social accountability to ensure that all stakeholders, particularly the government, is mainstreaming SDGs in their national policies, strategies, and programs. <br />
• Raise awareness in local communities about SDGs 2030, their targets, and indicators, ensuring their practical integration in local development efforts.<br />
• Participate in regional and international networks and coalitions that advance SDGs 2030, particularly those contributing to SDG 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
It is noteworthy that the Palestinian civil society organizations, despite all their great efforts, have not yet been able to keep up with their priorities and agendas in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The gap has not narrowed compared to the role played by civil society in many societies across the world, systematic mechanism adaptation for 2030 in their communities, which is what we seek in this initiative to see it.<br />
In this context, the initiative of forming the "Palestinian Coalition for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" is consistent with all international, regional and national trends. Sustainable development depends on its ability to mobilize new actors, partnerships, constituencies and citizens of the world as a whole.<br />
<br />
So the Coalition is work to build the capacity of their partners and in the same time to help the government in the data collection of the SDGs and the accountability on the government commitment to the SDGs.
The Coalition has a clear structure consists of:<br />
1. Steering committee from 5 elected institutions, Coordinator of the Coalition and representative of working groups. The steering committee is responsible about the main decisions of the coalition according to the flow of information that they have from the working groups and the coordinator.<br />
2. The Coordinator or the Coalition collect the requiring information and is responsible about the management, coordination and liaison of the Coalition.<br />
3. The Working Groups is responsible about the defining of the lobbying agendas, and the consist of sector-specific experts who works on participatory approach in all the needed tasks. <br />
<br />
The Coalition roles:<br />
• Develop a road map for civil society efforts contributing to SDGs 2030, and preparing annual reports that reveal these efforts and contributions.<br />
• Active social accountability to ensure that all stakeholders, particularly the government, is mainstreaming SDGs in their national policies, strategies, and programs. <br />
• Raise awareness in local communities about SDGs 2030, their targets, and indicators, ensuring their practical integration in local development efforts.<br />
• Participate in regional and international networks and coalitions that advance SDGs 2030, particularly those contributing to SDG 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.<br />
<br />
In light of the above, the role of Palestinian civil society organizations in contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals and supporting all national efforts to achieve them is complementary and consistent with the governmental role. Perhaps the previous review of the institutional arrangements in which the Palestinian government in this field shows a good level of participation of the civil society structurally as part of the national team for sustainable development goals and national working groups linked to goals.<br />
