Quarterly Newsletter Of The UN Democracy Fund
As the world’s Governments embark on ambitious national plans to implement the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, the role of civil society is crucial. A unifying theme for UNDEF’s selection of projects for Round 10 is supporting the implementation and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals.
A key role of civil society is often holding governments to account – be it for the delivery of particular services or for protecting fundamental human rights. Many of UNDEF’s projects are specifically focused on increasing transparency and participation through strengthening the relationship between government and civil society organizations.
This is the quarterly newsletter of the UN Democracy Fund, which looks at projects on SDGs, and curtain-raises the International Day of Democracy 15 September which can be found here.
