Launch of SDG6 Acceleration Framework
On 9 July 2020, The FAO Director-General, QU Dongyu, officially opened the SDG 6 Accelerator Framework. With this Framework, the UN system aims to coordinate better in targeting the use of water resources and deliver results faster at an increased scale.
Following the launch of the SDG 6 Accelerator Framework, the UN aims to deliver fast results at an increased scale. The UN system and its multi-stakeholder partners, driven by country demand and coordinating through UN-Water, will unify the international community’s support to countries for SDG 6.
By 2023, the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDG 6 Global Acceleration Framework will have brought about three major changes in ways of working:
- Better coordination among the UN entities in their diverse global, regional, transboundary and in-country support to countries;
- Streamlined support to countries as a result of better-aligned operational and financial policies and approaches;
- A purpose-driven collaboration among all stakeholders that is integrated into their organizational cultures, encompassing leadership at global, regional and country levels.
