Historique

The Sustainable Development Goals Fund is a development cooperation mechanism created in 2014 to support sustainable development activities through integrated and multidimensional Joint Programmes. It builds on the experience, knowledge, lessons learnt, and best practices of the MDG Fund and the MDG experience, while focusing on the fostering of sustainable development, public-private partnerships and gender and women’s empowerment as cross-cutting priorities in all our areas of work. The SDG Fund aims to act as a bridge in the transition from MDGs to SDGs providing concrete experiences on how to achieve a sustainable and inclusive world as part of ‘Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.’ 

As per the TORs, all joint programmes will commission an independent final evaluation in the last three months of implementation. The SDG Fund Secretariat shall assume the role of guidance and oversight in the final evaluations. For more information about the joint programmes see the generic TORs; for more information about M&E, please see the SDG Fund’s M&E Strategy.

  3. Measure to what extent the joint programme has attained the results originally foreseen in their project document, M&E frameworks, etc;
  4. To measure the impact of the joint programme on the achievement of the SDGs;
