The 2nd Regional Symposium on “Strengthening Public Institutions and Governance for Achieving the 2030 Agenda: Developing Capacity of Public Institutions & Building Effective Partnerships”
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) has organized several regional Symposiums on the theme of equipping public institutions for implementing the 2030 Agenda, including in Bolivia, Bahamas, Ethiopia and the Republic of Korea. Against this backdrop, UN-DESA’s Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government, through its Project Office on Governance (UNPOG), is organizing the second Regional Symposium in Incheon, Republic of Korea, with support from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Incheon City Government of the Republic of Korea. The Symposium will provide a platform for decision-makers to discuss challenges and share knowledge on how to strengthen public governance and bolster capacities of public institutions to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Asia and the Pacific. Selected Eastern Africa countries will also benefit from the discussions. The event is expected to achieve two key goals: i) enhancing the capacities of public servants to design and establish effective, inclusive and accountable institutions in support of Agenda 2030 and ii) enhancing the capacity of public servants to engage in North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation among Asian and African countries.”
