Partnerships
for the Goals!
SDG Accelerator for international projects
As pioneers of social innovation, non-profit civic organizations and social entrepreneurs are important actors in the implementation of Agenda 2030. They act locally to tackle global issues, like climate change, waste, human rights and corruption. Local partnerships, international exchange and translocal cooperation help to develop efficient solutions, increase the impact and contribute to the SDGs. We launch the second SDG Accelerator to advance translocal cooperation and develop new partnerships for SDG 17. Apply with your ideas and innovative solutions, meet German, Belarusian, Moldovan, Russian or Ukrainian partners, develop your own bi- or multilateral project and receive funding for its implementation!
