Is your organisation a company, NGO or knowledge institute? Do you want to contribute to sustainable development goals in developing countries in a public-private partnership? Then, your project may be eligible for support from the SDG Partnership Facility.
The SDG Partnership facility (SDGP) aims to help achieve the following sustainable development goals in developing countries:
• SDG 2 (ending hunger)
• SDG 8 (decent jobs and economic growth)
• SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals)
These are key goals which cannot be solved by one party. That is why the SDGP works with partnerships between government, businesses, NGOs and/or knowledge centres. Partnerships are capable of aligning interests and bridging differences so that major steps can be taken towards attaining the SDGs.

In addition to supporting projects, SDGP also offers program-wide activities. These activities aim to increase the impact, innovative strength and visibility of public-private partnerships (PPPs).
For the new and current PPPs there is the Impact Accelerator (IA). With this activity programme we facilitate knowledge exchange and the creation of new networks. In close consultation with embassies, we plan training, networking meetings and webinars. Do you want to know more about IA? Then, contact our advisors.
