Knowledge management has been one of the driving forces behind the innovative solutions that cut across stakeholders including government, academia, corporations and non-profits and sectors like healthcare, social protection, and livelihoods in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has amplified the need to establish and scale up virtual networks for knowledge exchange, while also accelerating the use of digital technologies for enhancing the knowledge eco-system.

Through this knowledge platform, UNDP aims to enable knowledge sharing using a communicative and transformative process of shared learning. The platform will place the experience of different stakeholders in a shared virtual library for others to learn and gain from. This national knowledge sharing network for SDGs will encourage better evidence informed policy making to help ensure that India remains on track to achieve the 2030 Agenda.

UNDP Seoul Policy Centre

  • Knowledge exchange is a crucial dimension of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UNDP Seoul Policy Centre (USPC) for Knowledge Exchange through SDG Partnerships is facilitating global knowledge exchange through various forms of innovative and tested-and-proven policy solutions in several thematic areas.

  • USPC focuses on facilitating dynamic and concrete knowledge exchange between the Republic of Korea and the developing world, as well as among developing countries and among OECD countries and with South-South Cooperation providers. Its areas of “SDG Partnerships consist of (i) governance, (ii) resilience, and (iii) development cooperation.

  • Through SDG Partnerships, USPC is seeking a unique role to sharpen global debates on knowledge exchange with a very close link to concrete development challenges in partner countries. In the context of India, USPC has shared knowledge on SDG localization and has partially financed the digital platform responsible for its facilitation.
