Welcome to the United Nations
The 2024 Webinar Series on Effective Governance and the Quintet of Change for the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (UN DESA/DPIDG), through its Programme Management and Capacity Development Unit. The Webinar Series aims at addressing contemporary challenges and opportunities in public administration, including around the key thematic areas of the UN 2.0 Quintet of Change. Through a series of six dynamic webinars, spread out throughout 2024, this series will explore topics such as changing mindsets in public institutions, innovation and digital government, strategic foresight, transparency and accountability, leaving no one behind and localization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Presentations will be based on the Curriculum on Governance for the SDGs developed by UN DESA/DPIDG. The 11 principles of effective governance for sustainable development, which were developed by the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration and endorsed by the UN Economic and Social Council in 2018, will also be highlighted. Each webinar will feature expert presentations, case studies, and real-world examples, providing participants with practical insights and actionable strategies.
