Background |
||
The UNDP Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) is UNDP’s Global Policy Centre for policy development and applied research with an overarching focus on democratic governance and peacebuilding in crisis, conflict and transitional contexts. The Oslo Governance Centre sits within the Governance and Peacebuilding Cluster, Bureau for Policy and Programme Support. It engages with Nordic and other partners, including from the South, in undertaking applied research and developing policy options and tools for governance support in post-crisis and post-conflict environments, in order to find practical solutions on the ground. One of the priority areas for the OGC is UNDP’s support to the implementation and monitoring of Goal 16 of the SDGs – promoting peaceful, just and inclusive societies. This focus on peaceful, just and inclusive societies in the 2030 Agenda includes key elements on democratic governance, peace, security, justice, human rights and institutional capacity With 10 years left for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is a real urgency in working towards achievement of the goals and targets – many of which have faced setbacks because of COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19 goes beyond health and the economy and has affected the quality of governance in many countries. At the same time, it has also shown how interlinked governance and the thematic issues covered under SDG 16 is to the rest of the 2030 Agenda – from ensuring effective and inclusive service delivery to enable equitable access to health and education services, to addressing issues of integrity and corruption in procurement processes of the public sector, to putting in place safeguards to uphold human rights and the rule of law. As countries adopt response and recovery plans, there is also an opportunity to envision a recovery that aims for achieving more peaceful and just societies with more inclusive, accountable and responsive institutions. UNDP’s work on SDG 16 includes:
