U4SSC Implementation Programme
The partner UN agencies also support the implementation of smart sustainable
solutions through technical assistance projects, forums, conferences and
capacity building events. Information on the UN partner organizations’ projects
is disseminated through the U4SSC Implementation Programme (U4SSC-IP).
The Implementation Programme disseminates information on partnerships and
promotes exchange of experiences and best practices.
The benefit
SDGs define priorities and establish long-term goals for cities. Since the U4SSC
initiative operationalizes the SDGs, by working within its KPI framework based
largely on the SDGs targets, cooperation with U4SSC will help cities become more
sustainable and get to the root of their challenges. The analytical nature of the
U4SSC framework lends itself to the use of clear baselines to improve internal
planning and implementation. Other derived benefits include the possibility of
gap analysis, infusing priorities into a budget process, cutting programming
redundancies and saving resources, and tracking outcomes. Cities also have
opportunities to engage across the global network of public and private
organizations engaged in U4SSC activities.
