Partnerships for the Goals

Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships

Initiatives that bring together governments, businesses, civil society, and academia to address specific challenges and promote sustainable development in a coordinated manner. These partnerships encourage diverse perspectives and expertise, leading to more comprehensive and innovative solutions that can effectively tackle complex global issues.

Global Knowledge-Sharing Networks

Platforms that facilitate the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions among countries and organizations to accelerate progress toward the SDGs. By promoting information sharing and collaboration, these networks enable faster learning and replicating successful initiatives across different regions, maximizing the impact of sustainable development efforts.

Capacity Building and Technology Transfer Programs

Supports developing countries in acquiring and utilizing technology and knowledge to implement sustainable practices and projects. These programs empower local communities and institutions with the skills and resources needed to implement sustainable solutions, fostering self-reliance and ownership of development processes. Additionally, technology transfer ensures that innovations are accessible to those who need them most, promoting equitable development.

108.4 Million

According to The UN Refugee Agency, at least 108.4 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Among them are nearly 35.3 million refugees, around 41 percent of whom are under the age of 18.

There are also millions of stateless people, who have been denied a nationality and lack access to basic rights such as education, health care, employment and freedom of movement.

At a time when more than 1 in every 74 people on Earth has been forced to flee, our work at UNHCR is more important than ever before.

3.6 Trillion

The annual costs of international corruption amount to a staggering $3.6 trillion in the form of bribes and stolen money, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said on International Anti-Corruption Day, December 9.

Corruption can take many forms: bribery, embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion and cronyism, to name a few. Whatever its shape, corruption always comes at someone's expense, and it often leads to weaker institutions, less prosperity, denial of basic services, less employment and more environmental disasters.

Less than 50%

According to The World Bank, in many countries around the world, less than half of the population believes they have access to a fair and efficient justice system, according to a report published by the World Justice Project (WJP) in 2021. The WJP Rule of Law Index assesses the perceived accessibility and effectiveness of justice systems in various countries based on factors such as due process, absence of corruption, regulatory enforcement, and fundamental rights.
