The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations member states in 2015 are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth \u2013 all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. It was only by 2018 that Greece has adopted a strategic approach to achieve the SDGs, ensuring political ownership. The country has introduced a \u201cwhole-of-government\u201d approach, with an active operational Inter-Ministerial Coordination Network, steered by the General Secretariat of the Government, and a \u201cwhole-of-society\u201d approach with a stakeholder engagement aiming at enhancing transparency, partnership and accountability. However, although the Voluntary National Review of 2018<\/a> included a reference to the engagement of NGOs, in practice this was extremely limited. There were very few consultations and activities, almost exclusively focused on environmental issues, even though relatively few of the 17 SDGs are related to the protection of the environment. \u03a4he ecosystem of Greek civil society includes few federations or second-tier organizations and networks. Most of them focus on specific areas of involvement and include NGOs and groups with similar objectives.<\/p>\n

The aim of this project, based on the aims of the Active citizens fund call,<\/span> is to create a new civil society network for the promotion of SDGs in Greece. The project aims to mobilize both formal and informal groups in urban and in rural areas, create cross-subject and cross-organizational synergies, promote cooperation and partnerships and strengthen advocacy and consultation with public bodies. The project promoter and project partner <\/span>will use their long experience to start building a new Greek civil society community in the context of SDGs.<\/p>\n
