MetaGovernance , the SDG Platform

Policy coherence of SDG implementation requires that sub-national government officials actively engage in inter-ministerial (cross-sector) policy coordination and at the same time conclude government to stakeholder policy consultations. Policy coordination and consultation (inter alia PCC) requires know-how and ability to design and manage governmental policy mechanisms. Without PCC mechanisms and practices, government officials will continue to work in silos and in a vertical manner at the expense of managing horizontal interfaces needed to achieve greater policy impact and desired outcome of enhanced sustainability.
