Background
The Workshop on "Building Partnerships for Sound Policymaking and Effective Institutions to Implement the Sustainable Development Goals at the Local Level: The critical role of collaborative networks among national research institutions, local and regional governments, and national government ministries” marks the first occasion for National Research Institutions (NRIs), Local and Regional Governments (LRGs), and National Government Ministries (NGMs) to gather and enhance their collaborative efforts towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level. It aims to provide practical eye-level policies that LRGs from different regions, environments, level of infrastructure, number of human resources, and amount of allocated budget can adopt for SDG implementation. The Workshop is expected to encourage the formation of a robust policy network among the NRIs and encourage their active participation in formulating practical policies for SDG localisation.
 
The primary focus of the Workshop is to explore methods, challenges, and opportunities to foster partnerships among the NRIs, LRGs, and NGMs to develop practical policies on SDG localisation utilising their respective expertise. This event provides a significant opportunity for the actors to enhance their roles and contributions towards achieving the SDGs at the local level. It will encourage NRIs to ponder over the methods to collaborate with each other in not only localising the SDGs, but also in providing practical eye-level policies for LRGs to implement. It will also foster national ministries to act as an umbrella to support the establishment of relationship among NRIs, LRGs, and NGMs.
 
The Workshop will also serve as a pre-meeting to the Local Governance and Partnership Forum to be held during the 7th Regional Symposium on Effective Governance and Digital Transformation from 17 to 19 October 2023.
 
Objectives
The objectives of the Workshop include the following but are not limited to:
  • Raise awareness on the importance of the roles of NRIs and fostering concrete and active partnerships among NRIs, LRGs, and NGMs for the SDGs implementation at the local level;
  • Explore and identify solutions to address institutional and non-institutional challenges in the course of building partnership among NRIs, LRGs, and NGMs;
  • Discuss how NRIs can provide practical policies utilizing their respective expertise for SDGs implementation at the local level that addresses diversified challenges due to the differences in local contexts, level of infrastructure, number of human resources, and amount of allocated finance for LRGs in the following areas:
    • Strengthening NRIs’ capacities for more integrated and sustainable solutions for the practical SDGs implementation at the local level
    • Harnessing technological innovation and digital governance for SDGs localization
    • Fostering local activists and bolstering local and regional action to enhance SDGs implementation
