Implementing Agenda 2030 in Food and Agriculture: Accelerating Policy Impact Through Cross-Sectoral Coordination at the Country Level (Paperback)

Description

---

Achieving the specific targets set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires the engagement and coordination of multiple government sectors. Yet guidance remains scarce on how to integrate cross-sectoral approaches into national and sub-national planning and implementation. This paper is conceived as a resource for national and international actors who seek to work across sectors to achieve common strategic development goals at the country level. Building on the available literature and on country studies from Asia, Africa and Central America, it covers the design and implementation of cross-sectoral coordination, emphasizing the role of multistakeholder collaboration and working at both local and national levels.
