Background
The Effective National to Local Public Governance for SDG Implementation eLearning course, developed in alignment with UN DESA's objectives, addresses the critical role of coordinated governance in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The success of the SDGs depends on strong, integrated public governance that ensures effective collaboration between national and local governments, as well as engagement with the private and non-profit sectors.

Objectives
The 2026 Edition of the Blended eLearning Course aims to strengthen public institutions to facilitate consistent and effective SDG implementation. Participants will explore how national and local authorities coordinate in areas such as planning, policy development, and financial management to drive SDG progress.
In addition to providing a broad understanding of effective national-to-local governance, the course delves into key aspects of SDG localization, including vertical integration, SDG financing, and monitoring and evaluation. By examining case studies and practical tools, learners will gain valuable insights into fostering integrated governance structures that enhance the implementation, oversight, and long-term success of the SDGs.
