23 Oct 2024
Development2030 Stage
In our pursuit of the UN SDGs, the crucial role of grassroots organisations cannot be overstated. However, effectively leveraging direct funding and establishing long-term partnerships with these actors remains largely underutilised. This panel aims to address the challenges of such collaborations, reflect on learnings, and explore pathways to empower local organisations as catalysts for achieving the UN SDGs.
