Complete and share the Global SDG16+ Survey
What:
This survey is intended to collect reflections and insights from any interested stakeholder working to advance SDG16+ on Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies. This survey is broken up into two parts. The first page of this survey is intended to collect perceptions of progress towards SDG16+ at the national and global levels, and should take 2-3 minutes to complete. The second page is intended to collect perceptions on key challenges around SDG16+, along with collecting concrete recommendations from civil society for strengthening SDG16+ implementation going forward, and should take roughly 8-12 minutes to complete. The inputs into this survey will feed into: 1) The TAP Network’s “Halfway to 2030 Report on SDG16+”; 2) The 2023 Rome Civil Society Declaration on SDG16+ and 3) A Policy Brief on “SDG16+: Peace, Justice, Anti-corruption and Civic Space” for C20 inputs for the India G20 Summit in September 2023.

Make a commitment to accelerate action on SDG16+
What:
In the lead-up to the SDG Summit, TAP will continue to call for civil society organizations working around SDG16+ to share “commitments” outlining their work to advance SDG16+, collecting them on TAP’s newly revamped TAP Network Partner Action Platform. This Partner Action Platform provides an online portal for showcasing the great work of individual organizations around SDG16+, and highlighting opportunities for sharing, learning and collaboration across TAP’s diverse membership. Additionally, the platform serves as an advocacy opportunity by showing to governments the leading role that civil society is taking to advance SDG16+, making the argument that as duty-bearers of the 2030 Agenda, governments need to commit to more ambitious and concrete action towards SDG16+.
