Highlighting the unique character of the joint project designed to support SDG attainment not only for the region but for the world as a whole, UN representatives underlined the importance of the long-term planning when implementing follow-up projects on SDG achievement, integration of SDG in the national plans and programs, and coordination of SDG implementation and use of cross-sectoral approaches.

It is important that the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Belarus for 2021-2025 aims to support implementation of the National Sustainable Development Strategy until 2035.

To carry out the long-term planning it is necessary to harness the potential of the Council for Sustainable Development, which engages all the ministries and many partners, including the private sector, who support SDG activities at the local level. The format of the Council’s activities will also allow the UN agencies to coordinate their work on SDG achievement more efficiently, in particular, after signing and start of implementation of the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Belarus for 2021-2025
