The second annual Global Multi-stakeholder Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Partnership Dialogue is being organized by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (OHRLLS) in consultation with the Steering Committee on Partnerships for SIDS, co-chaired by Maldives and Italy. The dialogue is a component of the SIDS Partnership Framework, which aims to monitor and ensure the full implementation of pledges and commitments through partnerships for SIDS, and to encourage new, genuine and durable partnerships for the sustainable development of SIDS. This event is organized on the occasion of the UN Ocean Conference, and will have a focus on ocean partnerships for SIDS, and aim to galvanize voluntary commitments for the implementation of SDG 14 among the SIDS partnership community. The programme is now available.
