Nacionālā starpnozaru koalīcija Ilgtspējīgas attīstības mērķu ieviešanai – National Multistakeholder Coalition for the Implementation of SDGs

Background

The Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation (LAPAS) has coordinated multistakeholder activities on SDGs since 2014. The Voluntary National Review held in 2018, increased the recognition, capacity and need for more regular and formal cooperation. In October 2019, the National Multistakeholder Coalition for the implementation of the SDGs was established. Additionally to representatives from Latvian Civil Society Organsiation,  this coalition gathers representatives from the government, academia and the private sector.
