Concept notes and papers
The Division for Public Administration and Development Management (DPADM) of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) has issued a pilot version of a compendium that takes stock of institutional arrangements adopted by 22 UN Member States to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The pilot compendium highlights the important role of governments and public institutions for SDG implementation and reflects on different approaches taken by countries facing different contexts and circumstances. The document focuses on: the adoption and the adaptation of national strategies and plans; national institutional arrangements; local authorities; parliaments; engaging and equipping public institutions and administrations; civil society and the private sector; and monitoring and review. It includes a global synthesis based on the 22 countries as a whole and a synthesis per country.
