This commitment is based on their shared value partnerships strategies, which are fully aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. </p><p>Together UNESCO and its partner foundations are scaling up sustained and mutually beneficial cooperation in the different regions of the world. These partnerships combine expertise, know how, networking, joint advocacy and financial resources. Through its partnerships with Foundations in pursuit of high impact and sustainable solutions, UNESCO is also able to leverage precious technical expertise and innovation capacity for the benefit of its Member States.</p><p>Foundations which are already collaborating with UNESCO may enter in official relations with UNESCO under the framework of the <a href="https://www.unesco.org/en/legal-affairs/directives-unesco-foundations?hub=66535">Directives concerning UNESCO’s relations with foundations and similar institutions</a>, intended to foster the widest possible assistance in the preparation and execution of UNESCO’s programme.
