In the lead-up to the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) summit, UNDP worked closely with governments worldwide, involving about 90 countries. These efforts aimed to identify SDG priorities and gather insights into achieving the goals. Although the focus was largely on the public sector and development partners, it became clear that achieving the SDGs by 2030 requires collective action from various stakeholders. The private sector's pivotal role in this endeavor cannot be underestimated. UNDP made considerable strides in engaging the private sector in SDG policy discussions throughout 2023. Their initiatives included supporting the International Chamber of Commerce's first-ever Supply Chain Summit in Ghana, collaborating with KPMG on a pre-budget survey to gather private sector perspectives on priority SDGs, and producing a COVID-19 business tracker, an MSME ecosystem resolution report, and eight SDGs investment plans (including six local and two national maps). These efforts enabled UNDP to determine key areas where the private sector can contribute to SDG implementation in Ghana. This policy brief aims to share the crucial findings from these initiatives, shedding light on UNDP's work to mobilize private sector resources for SDG implementation in Ghana.
