To support cooperation between active and potential stakeholders in multi-stakeholder partnerships, the 2030 Agenda Partnership Accelerator has produced two publications: a guide on how to build strong partnerships effectively and a research report on partnership platforms.

The 2030 Agenda Partnership Accelerator is a collaborative initiative by United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and The Partnering Initiative, in collaboration with United Nations Office for Partnerships (UNOP), UN Global Compact, and the UN Development Coordination Office. The initiative aims to significantly help accelerate and scale up effective partnerships in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The guidebook aims to help stakeholders to understand the value of multi-stakeholder partnerships and provide guidance on how to build robust and effective collaborations that can achieve extraordinary results for the SDGs.

The research report draws out good practices from in-country ‘partnership platforms’ that are evolving around the world. These platforms aim to catalyze and support new multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable development.
