Information
Implementation of successful sustainable
development partnerships is a complex process. It requires
actions involving many different organisations and individuals;
it encompasses activities which vary widely between different
countries, localities and parts of global and national economies.
CASDP will expand and centralise access to information and
good-practices thereby improving the capability of partnerships,
the efficiency of development capital markets, and the effectiveness
of government policy making.
Capacity
Building
The centrepiece of each partnership is the
partners, who depend upon their relative strengths and competencies
for success. To enable all partners to perform at their highest
capacity, CASDP will deliver access to:
- Lessons-learned and good practices
- Partner matching
- Case studies
- Policy, political declarations and government
regulations
- Guidance for different aspects of setting
up and running partnerships
- Expert-to-expert training and exchanges
- Research and academic reports
Financing
Innovative multi-stakeholder partnerships
can play a key role in making the case for additional donor
funding for sustainable development. They can also help leverage
new private sector investment into sustainable development
through creating strong partnerships between public and private
actors. CASDP seeks to improve the efficiency and transparency
of information between donors and project implementers. CASDP
will build a clearinghouse of information on development finance,
designed to assist partnerships with identifying funding sources,
navigating donor agency project criteria and mobilizing multiple
financiers. The clearinghouse will also provide transparency
to donors so they can more readily discover WSSD-oriented
projects and finance best practices and feasible projects.
Awareness
In order for sustainable development policy
frameworks to be effective and global, they must extend beyond
public authorities and influence the actions of all actors
who have an impact on sustainable development, whether they
be governments, businesses, local authorities, civil society,
trade unions, or, importantly, the public at large.
The CASDP communication and outreach strategy
emphasizes global awareness as key to engaging participation
and action in the policy-making and implementation process.
In particular, CASDP will focus on:
- Raising awareness on commitments (e.g.
WSSD, Millennium Summit) to achieve sustainable development.
- Promoting the partnership approach as a
powerful tool towards achieving sustainable development.
- Extending the partnership approach to developing
country governments; and integrating the approach across
UN programmes and within business, civil society, etc.
Achievement
Partnerships can clearly play a major role
in achieving WSSD and Millennium Development Goals. However,
demonstrating how and where partnerships have been successful
and, in particular, more effective than current approaches,
will require a dedicated effort to track the activities of
partnership work from around the world. CASDP is committed
to working closely with partnerships to collect information
and track developments. CASDP will create a central location
to showcase activities and achievements and supply accomplishments
back into the system, demonstrating the contributions of public-private
partnerships towards implementing WSSD declarations, Millennium
Development Goals and governmental commitments.
