Case studies and best practices
The most important function of this booklet is to inspire for local governments and civil society organizations that engage in advocacy activities to promote SDGs. Beyond that, we believe it will be helpful for local governments to develop their own models and to establish partnerships among themselves. This booklet includes examples of services and practices from Turkey that had been put into action long before SDGs were announced, as well as those started a short while ago; from very narrow ones to those with much wider scopes; those that consist of a single administrative decision to those elaborated in action plans. Usually the localisation of SDGs is understood as a complex process that requires the development of extensive action plans. Some examples in this booklet may show you that even tiny steps with concrete targets can help to the overall ambition to accomplish SDGs.
