Venue: University of Ibadan, Nigeria
The 2019 Summit is the 10th anniversary of the Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit (ISDS). One key success story of the Summit is the breaking of silos and the forging of partnerships among various stakeholders in achieving the SDGs. The success of the SDGs requires partnerships among governments, the academia, the private sector and civil society organisations. Strategic partnerships that are built upon principles and values, shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre are needed at the global, regional, national and local levels. The importance of global partnerships as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships cannot therefore, be over-emphasised in order to adequately mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, and to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals across scales.
The 10th ISDS will focus on Partnerships, thus the theme of the Summit is Building and Sustaining Strategic Partnerships for the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this regard, the following sub-themes will be addressed:
South-South Cooperation and Partnerships for Achieving SDGs
