WHAT WE DO
Global Advocacy For The Sustainable Development Of Small Island Developing States Through Durable Private Sector Partnerships
The Small Island Developing States Global Business Network (SIDS-GBN) is an online platform and resource hub to share best practices and lessons learned in support of private sector partnerships for small island developing States (SIDS). The network forges collaboration among SIDS regional private sector organisations and works towards strengthening inter-regional business alliances, encouraging international businesses to focus on SIDS as potential market opportunities and vice versa.
The SIDS-GBN also fosters greater awareness of the importance of sustainable development as a guide to promoting dynamic business sectors in line with the SAMOA Pathway and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals.
PARTNERS AND COLLABORATORS
Partnerships are at the centre of our advocacy work. We have had the pleasure of ongoing and past collaboration with a wide variety of organisations, foundations, individual companies and civil society:
