The Měj se k světu Initiative in 2017

With the new strategic framework for sustainable development (called Czech Republic 2030), SDGs implementation enters a new phase. The framework defines strategic tasks for sustainable development both within the Czech Republic and beyond its borders – and puts in place mechanisms for more integrated and long-term decision-making. The Měj se k světu initiative, an inter-disciplinary umbrella structure for eight NGO platforms and other network organizations, has been actively participating in the preparatory work on this framework. On the basis of its jointly negotiated vision and strategic priorities, it has contributed to the formulation of the government’s proposal and provided qualified feedback. From 2017 onward, the project is going to focus primarily on the implementation of the Czech goals for sustainable development – especially on NGOs’ own contribution in the form of voluntary commitments, pilot projects and institutional capacity-building for monitoring of goals fulfillment, active coordination among NGOs, government and other actors, and communication of strategic goals and practical realization by NGOs.

Main Goals for 2017

The project’s main goal is to strengthen inter-disciplinary partnerships among NGO networks from the Měj se k světu Initiative and enhance their capacities for monitoring, coordination and communication on the occasion SDGs implementation in the Czech Republic.
