2:00-3:00 PM OPENING SESSION “Working Together to Achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals: , Youth and Multi-stakeholders“ On 25 September 2015, the 193 countries of the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Development Agenda titled Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Following the adoption, UN agencies, under the umbrella of the United Nations Development Group, decided to support a campaign by several independent entities, among them corporate institutions and International Organizations. The overall success of the SDGs depends on youth engagement because youth are critical thinkers, change makers, innovators, communicators and leaders. Young people are active drivers of change in local communities. Young people have a role in engaging people at the grassroots level and a role in communicating the goals to a wider society.

4:00-5:30 pm Concurrent Working Sessions

SESSION 1: Public Private Partnership in Community Development

Financial constraints and other resource limitations, as well as lack of innovative leadership, often impede agencies in providing solutions to unmet needs in local communities. These challenges have opened opportunities for creative private and non-profit institutions with support of grassroots community and youth-driven efforts to augment government in rendering more effective local services through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). How are exemplary PPPs providing win-win solutions to all parties? How can PPPs leverage each party’s expertise and resources to deliver lasting results? This session will draw attention to the challenges and best practices of PPPs in providing innovative solutions to achieve development goals in communities.

SESSION 2: Engaging Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Skill-Based Volunteering with Community-Based Development

On a range of economic, social, and environmental objectives, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a platform for organizations and companies to develop a sustainability framework that can benefit communities. How does CSR encourage government and non-government organizations, small and medium enterprises, and multinational corporations to develop closer ties with the community? How can CSR drive employee engagement towards a culture of social responsibility?
