Abstract:
With globalization, the international development agenda is now influenced, monitored and implemented by a wide array of actors, and not only by States. Civil Society Organizations are among them, and they are seen as the interlocutors between global civil society’s demands and international fora. They have conquered unprecedented opportunities to voice their concerns, take part in decisions, and assist in their implementation.
In this policy paper, the author presents recommendations on how the G20 can foster the inclusion of global civil society in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
