Implementing the 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global task, and one in which cities and municipalities worldwide have a vital role to play. Municipal partnerships provide an important network for sharing a wide range of lessons learned in localising the 2030 Agenda and for working together to achieve the SDGs.

In 2024, the Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW) of Engagement Global will support up to three German municipalities to organise a "SDG Partnership Conference", by providing financial and professional support. Different perspectives and experiences on the 2030 Agenda are discussed with partner municipalities from all over the world, ideas for further cooperation on the 2030 Agenda and activities for implementing the SDGs in partnership are jointly developed.

A SDG Partnership Conference is usually a two- to three-day event format that can be held both in person and digitally. It is also possible for several German municipalities to organize a joint event at a single venue.

Please note that exclusively German municipal authorities are eligible to apply. Proposals cannot be submitted by municipalities or organisations outside of Germany. If you are interested in this format, please contact your German partner municipality.

The Service Agency is looking forward to receiving your application by 31 January 2024!
