OSG - Office of the SecretaryGeneral

Published purpose

The Office of the Special Adviser (OSA) to the United Nations Secretary-General on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) is a key centre of influence in the process to engage, guide and support member states with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Multi-stakeholder coordination for the 2030 Agenda supports the OSA to coordinate strategic engagement among member states, the multilateral system, civil society, business, social media and academia. Project activities include: (1) engaging politically and programmatically with national governments to provide guidance, support and/or develop linkages amongst actors for the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda; (2) working with the multilateral system to ensure that it provides the best possible support for 2030 Agenda implementation in all of the countries and/or thematic areas in which it operates; and (3) developing pro-active outreach campaigns to ensure that information regarding the 2030 Agenda is widely dispersed and accessible through the active involvement of organizations and stakeholders in civil society, business, communications, social media, academia and other bodies.
