In 2015, world leaders committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Kenya was among the major advocates for the SDGs,

Kenya's as nation serves as a role model to its peers on the implementation of the goals. As Kenya joins the world in implementing the agenda 2030 for sustainable development, the role of NGOs and other CSOs in complementing government interventions is becoming increasingly important. 

Key Stakeholder engagement and building strong partnerships between government, private sector and NGOs/CSOs will catalyze Kenya's realization of the SDGs Goals. NGOs work in diverse areas of public interest including Climate change, Health, Food security, Gender and development, Children’s rights, poverty alleviation, Peace, Training, small scale enterprise development, disability among others, and most of all to recognize and reward the good performance of its members. In country planning, SDGs have been mainstreamed by all sectors during the development of the Vision 2030 Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) (2018-2022) to be launched soon. This also applies to the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs).

Kenya has laid down a robust framework and mainstreaming measures to implement SDGs. Some of the thematic areas in the implementation plan include awareness creation. Policy formulation and implementation and stakeholder mapping. NGOs and the work they do with communities contribute to achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals.

We shall hold one day National NGOs/CSOs dialogue on Friday 20th December 2022 in Nairobi that will bring together various International Organizations, National Organizations and grassroots Based Organizations among other key stakeholders together to exchange knowledge, ideas, address the challenges and set out clear areas of collaboration towards achieving the goals and celebrate excellence in NGOs/CSOs and other stakeholders realization of the SDGs.

The participants are national NGOs /CSOs, county-based Organizations and other key stakeholders in the SDGs and development process.
