The ESCAP-ADB-UNDP Asia-Pacific SDG Partnership is based on the common interest to eradicate poverty and achieve inclusive growth and sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.
Having collaborated on a wide range of issues, including the Millennium Development Goals, the partners have created a platform for delivering knowledge products and data to support the effective implementation of the sustainable development goals.
The partnership seeks to deepen linkages between evidence-based policy and implementation at national, sub-regional and regional levels, drawing from respective strengths to produce and disseminate regional SDG reports to support follow up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The themes of annual reports have been aligned with the themes of the High-level Political Forum for Sustainable Development
