Multiple parties, including FBO’s – Faith Based Organisations, are stakeholders in the 2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals. An advocacy toolkit is available.
The Sustainable Development 2015 (SD2015) programme is a multi-stakeholder engagement programme run by Stakeholder Forum and CIVICUS, in collaboration with UNDESA. The programme provides tools and opportunities for all stakeholders to input to the process and help build a more sustainable future, through five focus areas: raising awareness; increasing engagement; empowering stakeholders; coordinating advocacy; and strengthening governance.
