The primary objective of the event is to build common ground on how implementation of the IPoA can be enhanced by building synergies and coherence in the implementation of the IPoA and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event also aims to discuss how to strengthen global partnerships for sustainable development for enabling half the number of the least developed countries (LDCs) to attain the graduation threshold. Participants will be invited to make specific expressions of support to LDCs.
