Our Work on the Sustainable Development Goals in Philippines

The UN is a staunch partner of the Philippine Government for achieving national development goals and the 2030 Agenda, including the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development (PFSD) supports the national long term vision and maps directly and indirectly into Philippine Development Plan (PDP) priorities, organizing its strategic contributions through a 2030 Agenda lens into three pillars: “People”, “Prosperity and Planet”, and “Peace.” It builds on decades of close cooperation between the Philippines and the United Nations for the achievement of national and global development objectives, focusing on areas where the capacities of the UN, when working across mandates, will have the greatest impact to leave no one behind. As an initial investment in the longer-term UN support to 2030 Agenda, it recognizes the strengths and capacities of the Philippine government and focuses on historically challenging areas that are foundational to SDGs to complement Philippines-led efforts towards acceleration.
