However, reaching an agreement on a shared vision for the future is one thing, another is to implement it. A determining factor will be the implementation readiness of the member states. Factors such as integration of the new global goals into national development strategies and budget planning, assessments of institutional capacity, data availability, accountability structures and partnerships are all critical for success.
UNDP and Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation invite you to a seminar on implementation challenges and on how Sweden can contribute, not only to the adoption of the new agenda but also help support its implementation from the start.
The seminar was live streamed and can be seen here.
Speakers
Keynote presentations by Magdy Martinez-Soliman, UN Assistant-Secretary-General and UNDP Bureau Director for Policy and Programme Support; and Ulrika Modéer, State Secretary to the Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.
We start with serving coffee and tea at 12.40.
