The workshop provided the participants with a learning opportunity where the invited speakers, Serena Li (World Resources Institute), Maggie Dennis (World Resources Institute), Tim Bishop (The Partnering Initiative), and Booyuel Kim (Seoul National University) shared an extensive expertise on what a transformative partnership means and how it can contribute to accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals, and working knowledge on how to design and implement multi-stakeholder partnerships.

The invited experts put an emphasis on leveraging the private sector as a key partner for the SDGs in such areas as technology and innovation, vision and scaling, and business acumen and experience.
