Measuring and Reporting on the Impact of Partnerships and Initiatives
Since the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, the international community's focus has shifted from "words are good, actions are better," to "actions are better, and results matter." The challenge for governments and all stakeholders is to measure and report on the results of our sustainable development partnerships and initiatives. It's an exciting and important change, one which can have a tremendous impact on lives around the world.
Through the addition of "Featured Results" on selected SDP.gov fact sheets, the U.S. Government is strengthening its commitment to report regularly on the results of the partnerships and initiatives in which we participate. By sharing results, we are seeking to create a transparent and positive feedback loop that enables others to scale up and replicate those efforts that work.
