Capacity Development Workshop on “Changing Mindsets for Innovation, Digital Transformation, and Improved Public Service Delivery for Sustainable Development Goals Implementation” in Bolivia

The Association of Bolivian Municipalities (AMB) and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG), with the support of the UN Bolivia, are co-organizing a Training workshop with the objective of applying the contents of UN DESA’s Curriculum on Governance for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular the main modules of the toolkits on Changing Mindsets in Public Institutions to Implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and on  Innovation and Digital Government for Public Service Delivery. The in-person workshop is a follow up of the online Training of Trainers (ToT) previously held on 14 June 2023. 

The toolkits are part of the Curriculum on Governance for the SDGs which was developed by UN DESA/DPIDG.  DPIDG’s mission is to advance effective, accountable, and inclusive governance and public institutions for sustainable development, including through innovation, digital government, and digital transformation. The Curriculum on Governance for the SDGs aims to promote critical understanding of sustainable development issues, enhance governance capacity, and strengthen public servants' awareness of their active role in contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.  

The Association of Bolivian Municipalities (AMB) representing the largest municipalities in the country advocates for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), within the framework of the New Urban Agenda and the National Policy for the Comprehensive Development of Cities (PNDIC) and recognizes the importance of supporting the changing mindsets of the public sector at the local level, as well as for innovation and digital transformation.
