Sustainable Partnership with Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions are goals 16 and 17 of the sustainable development goals developed by the UN General Assembly. Numerous policies and strategies have been proposed and are already involved in the change process aimed at accomplishing those ambitious agendas. However, it can be argued that one of the most effective ideas for achieving successful and sustainable Partnership with Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions is the creation of special public awareness teams.
These teams will be created in all UN member states and cooperate with the official UN Offices in those countries. However, they will focus on the relations with the public in order to reinforce achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 16 and 17. For example, they will encourage citizens to take part in programs and procedures aimed at holding state governments accountable for their commitments to the goals (“Lecture 14,” 2022). They would increase public awareness about the importance of voting, explaining that every vote matters and counts in creating a more accountable, just, inclusive, and peaceful society (“Lecture 14,” 2022). In can be argued raising public awareness is one of the most efficient steps towards achieving the 17th goal.
In addition, these teams will help establish stronger partnerships between states. They will organize programs that will involve people from different countries working together, engaging through social media and other platforms. They will work with their foreign partners to ensure that there is less corruption in their societies and engage in different environmental activities in their local communities. The type of global entrepreneurship that would be most applicable for this idea is “horizontally minded entrepreneurship for problem solving” (“Lecture 14,” 2022). This model is likely to be the most efficient type because it provides opportunities for the comprehensive integration of human resources, skills, and knowledge.
