Pathway - was the establishment of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Partnership Framework, designed to monitor progress of existing, and stimulate the launch of new, genuine and durable partnerships for the sustainable development of SIDS.</span></p><p><span>Guided by a member States driven Steering Committee, the framework has since its launch ensured that partnerships for SIDS have remained high on the UN’s agenda, providing a multi-stakeholder platform for reviewing progress made by partnerships for SIDS, and for sharing of good practices and lessons learned among all stakeholders, on an annual basis.</span></p><p>The Steering Committee, for the year 2024 is co-chaired by H.E. Ms. IIana Seid, <span>Permanent Representative of the Republic of Palau to the United Nations, and H.E. Mr. Fergal Mythen, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the United Nations. The Committee </span>is open to all States Members of the United Nations or members of the specialized agencies, and is supporting the follow-up of existing, and promotes and advocates the launching of new, partnerships that advance the sustainable development in SIDS.</p><h5>Strengthening of the SIDS Partnership Framework</h5><p>The outcome document of the fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4) - The Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS (ABAS) – includes a request to the UN Secretary-General, in consultation with States and the Steering Committee on SIDS Partnerships, to present recommendations for the strengthening the SIDS Partnership Framework. </p><h5><strong>Background</strong></h5><p><span>The Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States was held from 1 to 4 September 2014 in Apia, Samoa under the overarching theme of "The sustainable development of small island developing States through genuine and durable partnerships". The Conference resulted in an intergovernmental agreed outcome document – the SAMOA Pathway - and the announcement of 300 multi-stakeholder partnerships devoted to the sustainable development of SIDS.</span></p><p><span>At the Conference, member States emphasized that international cooperation and partnerships of various kinds and across a wide variety of stakeholders are critical for the implementation of the sustainable development of SIDS. This notion was enshrined through a formal request by member States, through the SAMOA Pathway, for establishing a SIDS Partnership Framework - designed to monitor progress of existing, and stimulate the launch of new, genuine and durable partnerships for the sustainable development of SIDS.</span></p><p><span>The Framework, formally established in December 2015 by General Assembly resolution 70/202, consist of 1) a member States driven Steering Committee on SIDS Partnerships, 2) the organization of an annual action-oriented and results-focused Global Multi stakeholder SIDS Partnership Dialogue, 3) a standardized partnership reporting process of all stakeholders, and 3) the organization of regional and 4) national SIDS partnership dialogues with support from the United Nations system and the international community.</span></p><p><span>The SIDS Partnership Framework has ensured that SIDS issues have remained high on the UN’s agenda, and provided a broad multi-stakeholder platform for reviewing progress of SIDS partnerships, sharing of good practices and lessons learned among all relevant stakeholders, and for launching new initiatives devoted to SIDS.</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-4 no-gutters"> </div> </div> </div> <div aria-labelledby="co-chairs_2024-tab" class="tab-pane fade " id="co-chairs_2024" role="tabpanel"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-lg-12 test"> <h3> Co-chairs 2024 </h3> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--tabs paragraph--view-mode--tabs-content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-paragraph-content field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The Steering Committee on partnerships for SIDS was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 (A/RES/70/202) to support the follow-up of existing and promote and advocate the launching of new SIDS partnerships.
