CoNGO President Bautista at the 2023 ECOSOC Partnership Forum: “Partnerships must be at the core of what multilateral and multistakeholder mean. But there are as many perils as there are possibilities in these partnerships.”
New York City | 1 March 2023 (CoNGO InfoNews) – “Partnerships must be at the core of what multilateral and multistakeholder indeed mean. But there are as many perils as there are possibilities in these partnerships, ” stated Liberato Bautista, President of CoNGO, at a side event on January 31 during the 2023 ECOSOC Partnership Forum.
The virtual side event, WSIS Cooperation for Accelerating Progress on the SDGs, was organized by the United Nations Group on the Information Society (UNGIS) and the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
Bautista also said, “Partnerships at the UN flourish under conditions that make it possible for all stakeholders to access both physical space (premises) and substantive agenda (promises) of the UN, not the least on all matters related to the successful implementation of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.”
