The University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Collaboration with the Department of Science and Innovation will be hosting an SDG Indaba on 6 June 2022 at the Cape Town City Hall.

The theme is 'Agenda 2030: A Paradigm Shift to Agenda 2063. A Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue.'

Background

UWC has positioned itself as an intellectual base for solving challenges set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as inequality, climate change, food and water insecurity, unemployment, safe cities amongst others. These are global grand challenges, but Africa is at the frontline of their impact.

We therefore seek to bring together key role players (Government, Community, Organisations and Universities) who will contribute in the production of high-impact, cross-cutting research through multi-disciplinary teams and approaches. Ultimately, this research can be transferred to the communities to have a meaningful impact in bettering the livelihoods of the marginalised.

Key objectives of the SDG Indaba

• Is to set out foundation for partnerships
• Establish a shared agenda
• Develop a basis of understanding to pursue research and innovation from a multi-stakeholder perspective
• How do we form part of a multi-stakeholder agenda that advances sustainable development through a clear set plan of action?
