Strategic Planning for Leave No One Behind Coalition

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) also known as transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are seventeen goals and 169 targets adopted by 193 UN member states in September 2015. The commitment to these goals will help ensure those experiencing the worst forms of poverty, exclusion, violence and discrimination receive priority access to the resources and programs being mobilized by the global goals. It aims to ensure that no one is left behind which is the overarching means for evaluating the implementation of the goals.

In light of this, ADD International, Christian Aid, Dan Church Aid, Enfants du Monde, The Fred Hollows Foundation, HelpAge International, Islamic Relief, Leonard Cheshire Disability, Helvetas, Orbis, Plan International, Room to Read and Sightsavers have come together and are building on their previous and on-going work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and have formed the Leave No One Behind Coalition on the Sustainable Development Goals in Bangladesh (LNB Bangladesh Coalition). Four organizations (ADD International, Christian Aid, Dan Church Aid, HelpAge International) initially formed the Coalition and implemented jointly a project supported by CIVICUS. Several consultations at the divisional and national levels were organized, participated by various marginalized groups and a need for further grassroots engagement, raising voices of the marginalized and policy influencing surfaced during discussions. In view of addressing some of these issues, the organizations felt the need of a formal coalition to work with the LNOB agenda. 

The objective of the coalition is to 1. Demystify and build an understanding of the SDG and LNB agenda for all including civil society and policymakers. 2. Strengthen a national level platform of multi-stakeholders on the LNB agenda. 3. Gather information on data gaps and best practices on the LNB agenda. 4. Create linkages with policymakers and civil society actors to influence debates and make recommendations at the national and global level. The Coalition intends to use the opportunities created by the LNB agenda to challenge social barriers perpetuating inequality, exclusion, discrimination, stigma and hold decision-makers accountable.
