Historique

The Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD) offers a selected group of outstanding graduate-level students the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to IICPSD's work as a Center of excellence for private sector in development and inclusive markets. 2015 is a historic year, it marks the end of the MDGs and the beginning of a new and much more ambitious global development agenda; the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on the need to create a common ground for discussion on multi-stakeholder partnerships in the implementation of the SDGs, Istanbul IICPSD will organize a two days-long event entitled “Building Multi-stakeholder Partnerships for Implementing the SDGs”.
