A searchable online registry<\/a> that outlines the actions, initiatives and plans for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 39\u00a0Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System entities was launched today by the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Department of Economic and Social Affairs (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ DESA).<\/p>\n

By providing a clear picture of each entity\u2019s activities, the new tool will help the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System to avoid duplication, deliver as a whole, and develop a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System-wide roadmap for the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, explained Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs Liu Zhenmin.<\/p>\n

In December 2017 Mr. Liu invited Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System entities to respond to a survey and share their actions to advance the SDGs. \u00a0The results of that survey have now been turned into a user-friendly, searchable online database.\u00a0 Mr. Liu stressed how responsive and supportive the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System had been in this endeavour.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the survey and database [\u2026] we can see that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ entities are making a serious effort to align their new strategic work programmes with the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs,\u201d said Mr. Liu. \u201cI\u00a0am delighted to see a new institutional mind-set gradually taking shape, with a growing emphasis on moving away from silos to inter-linkages, to working in partnership, and to seeking synergies across organizations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted with appreciation that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system\u2019s support to member States is also being geared toward an integrated approach, focusing on linkages and nexuses among the SDGs. He observed a clear willingness to enhance collaboration both within the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System and with business and civil society stakeholders. \u201cThe aim is to build on each other\u2019s comparative advantages and focus on adding value to countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The database launched today offers a wealth of information and has great potential as a reference and analytic tool. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system entities can use this information to learn from each other and identify more opportunities and better ways for collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we focus collectively on how the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system can be transformational and do things differently, let us embed the integration, the interlinkages, and the \u2018leaving no one behind\u2019 principles into the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ\u2019s culture and DNA,\u201d said Mr. Liu.<\/p>\n
