Abstract

The multi-stakeholder mechanism for furthering development is the global partnership for development. Cooperation for development is made possible through partnerships for the benefit of everyone including the earth, people, prosperity, and peace. To ensure that the sustainable development goals are met, the global partnership for development can bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives from governments, bilateral and multilateral organizations, civil society, the private sector, and representatives from parliaments and trade unions. In this chapter, we’ll examine the potential role that technology might play in making it easier for successful partnerships to emerge for the benefit of development.
