A Stakeholders’ Chamber Pledge of Commitment Ceremony was held on April 7, 2022 to formalize the first institutionalized multi-stakeholder body for the SDGs in the country. The Stakeholders’ Chamber was created to promote understanding, develop ownership, and enable well-aligned partnerships among government, private sector, and civil society actors for the achievement of the SDGs.  

The Pledge of Commitment to the 2030 Agenda aimed to ensure that members of the Stakeholders’ Chamber are committed in working together to support actions and programs on the SDGs, and in actively engaging in the development of projects, increasing public awareness, and recommending policies to strengthen SDG implementation.
