Capacity building workshop on integrated strategic planning and institutional arrangements for policy coherence, leveraged by systems thinking for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals - Mauritius

Following the request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, received on 18 February 2022 for the provision of technical assistance and capacity building on integrated planning towards the SDGs, linking post-2019 recovery needs to long-term sustainable economic objectives, UN DESA/DPIDG in collaboration with UNITAR and the UN Resident Coordinator’s office (RCO) held a hybrid workshop to provide feedback of the country report for Mauritius, called “Strategic planning, systems thinking and policy coherence for sustainable development” which illustrates the use of a qualitative approach to Systems Thinking for decision making, using the crisis as an opportunity to re-assess socio-economic and environmental performance, and allocate investments in areas that provide both short and medium resilience, while addressing the most pressing concerns caused by the crisis.
