Support to SDG Office 2021-2024 - Support to SDG Office Support to SDG Office 2021-2024 UNDP har ansökt om ett stöd på 3,6 miljoner kronor för att genomföra projektet 'SDC Bridge Ukraine' under perioden 2021-2023.

Projektet kommer att stödja etableringen av ett system för att integrera Agenda 2030 och de globala målen för hållbar utveckling (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) i den ukrainska regeringens policydokument och i uppföljningen av statligt finansierade SDG-relaterade aktiviteter i Ukraina. Detta ska göras genom a) stöd till utvecklingen av en strategi för hur den globala målen ska integreras i regeringens policies (i samordning med nyckelaktörer),  b) rådgivning till regeringen i utformningen av program och uppföljnings-och koordineringsmekanismer c) strategisk planering och finansiering för hållbar utveckling på nationell och regional nivå i Ukraina, d) att stärka dialogen om genomförandet av de globala målen mellan regeringen, parlamentet och givare (med utgångspunkt i givarkoordineringsstrukturen i Ukraina), och e) att bidra till att anpassa regeringens strategidokument till  Agenda 2030 och de globala målen.

Insatsens totala budget är 5,1 miljoner kronor, varav 3,6 miljoner kronor utgör det svenska bidraget (varav 8% kommer att gå till UNDP General Management Support Cost). United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has applied to Swedish Embassy in Ukraine for funding of 3,6 million SEK to carry out the 'SDC Bridge Ukraine' Project in Ukraine during the period 2021-2023. 

The intervention aims at establishing a well-conceived and tested system for mainstreaming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into policy-documents and tracking government-funded SDG Target-related activities in Ukraine by a) elaborating a conceptual approach to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) mainstreaming into national policies, strategies and programming process in coordination with key stakeholders; b) advising the Government on designing adequate programming and tracking instruments and coherent coordination mechanisms; c) promoting strategic planning and financing for sustainable development at the national and regional level in Ukraine; d) strengthening the dialogue on SDG implementation between the Government, the Parliament and development partners (building on the existing three-level international technical assistance (ITA) coordination system); and e) contributing to aligning high-level strategic policy documents with the SDG framework and Agenda 2030.

The intervention’s total budget is 5,1 million SEK, out of which 3,6 million SEK is Swedish contribution (out of which 8% will amount for UNDP General Management Support Cost). Project's Overall Goal (longer term goal) is: Women and men in Ukraine see tangible improvements to their standard of living and governance quality due to better implementation and funding behind the SDGs and their targets as adopted for Ukraine.

The Project will have one Output (immediate objective): Ukraine has a well-conceived and tested system for mainstreaming SDGs into policy-documents and tracking government-funded SDG Target-related activities backed up by improved governance dialogue and political will.
