Regional Cooperation for SDG Implementation: A Model for South Asia

No 20, CPD Policy Brief from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: Since many of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not only interconnected, but also transnational, the countries of South Asia need to cooperate within themselves in order to realise the ambition of the 2030 Agenda. Thus, the quest for achieving the SDGs must be a journey where countries proceed hand-in-hand to accomplish shared goals. Otherwise, the prospects of reaching the final destination of SDG accomplishment in 2030 are astronomically low. In the above context, this policy brief investigates the regional priorities, instruments, and institutions that hold the potential for implementing the SDGs in South Asia by 2030. This study explores how regional cooperation may be conducive to addressing common regional priorities and achieving the SDGs in South Asia.
