none Development Partners
“The dialogue on sustainable development has been enriched and expanded by emphasising the role of, and partnerships between, various groups who have a stake in related policy and decision making, rather than just governments and the business sector. The equal participation of women as the largest single stakeholder group has been recognised as essential to achieving sustainable development at national, regional and global levels.”
Eun Kyung Park, Vice President, World YWCA
