The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development places accountable institutions and inclusive decision-making at the heart of achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Challenges like weak capacities, for instance, frequently hamper the effectiveness of parliaments to engage with the SDGs. In partnership with the Islamic Development Bank and other international financial institutions, UNDP is proposing a project that will empower parliaments to become the SDG actors envisaged in Agenda 2030.
