Welcome to the United Nations
The Global Initiative on Governance for the SDGs engages schools of public administration and regional associations of public administration through a Global Network of Schools of Public Administration. Its aim is to strengthen the capacities of governments and public servants (in terms of knowledge, skills, attitude, leadership competences and mindset) to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
It was established in 2018 following a meeting held in Morocco with Schools of Public Administration who expressed an interest in working together. It is composed of a global network of schools of public administration and regional task forces of schools of public administration.
The initiative aims to support dialogue among the schools of public administration within and across regions on the importance of mainstreaming the SDGs in their training programs and developing the necessary skills of public servants to respond to governments’ priorities in implementing the 2030 Agenda.
