The UNDA 1819Q Project “Towards coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of the Sustainable Development Goals” aims to strengthen the capacity of four countries (Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Colombia and Guyana) to develop national policies or strategies that include multi-sectoral priorities and build technical capacity to deliver on the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs in a coordinated and integrated manner. The project implementation phase covers 2018 to 2021 and is in its final stages.
The interregional meeting will convene partner governments officials from the four Project countries, UNEP staff who participated in the implementation of the Project or in activities related to policy coherence for sustainable development, as well as UN country partners, government focal points and other important partners for the Project and/or related to the Project’s implementation (e.g. statistical offices) and SDG focal points in countries. The closing session of the workshop will provide senior officers with the opportunity to reflect on the results of the Project.
The invitations to the Workshop will be sent by the UNEP Law Division. In addition, each Regional Office is encouraged to suggest 1-2 additional countries per region to invite.
