Abstract

The article is devoted to the role of civil society in achieving the SDGs. The author notes that civil society institutions can play the role of initiators of social transformations, consultants, communicators, monitors and tools for strengthening partnerships both at the national and global levels, in the process of achieving the SDGs. At the same time, the article emphasizes the still insufficient level of civil society involvement in the achievement of the SDGs. The author provides an overview of the best practices in this area and makes proposals for activating civil society in the implementation of the SDGs. The goal is to determine the role and functions of civil society in achieving the SDGs, identify the main areas of activity, develop recommendations for enhancing the role of civil society in achieving the SDGs. Research methods - analysis of legal documents, review of best practices. Research results. - Civil society is a key partner in achieving all 17 sustainable development goals, but is not sufficiently involved in the processes of achieving the SDGs; - New forms of cooperation and interaction with civil society institutions should be introduced for their active involvement in the achievement of the SDGs; Conclusions. It is necessary to ensure the involvement of civil society institutions in all stages of the implementation of the SDGs - from the development of national action plans for achieving the SDGs to reporting. At the same time, it is important to strengthen the interaction not only between the state and the institutions of civil society, but the interaction between the institutions of civil society themselves, including through the creation of their coalitions.
