Committed to support and implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Malaysia has incorporated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into its five-year development plan. In the current Twelfth Malaysia Plan (2021 to 2025) the SDGs are integrated with a very strong emphasis on localising SDGs at the grassroots levels.   Malaysia has employed a multi-stakeholder partnership model in the implementation of the SDG. This model provides opportunities for all stakeholders to participate in our journey to recover from the health, economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, besides encouraging strong engagement between the federal and local governments; and the public sector and local community.  

Just like Malaysia, its Southeast Asian neighbours, namely Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines also have their experiences in fostering a partnership model in building back better. This sharing of experiences will illustrate the effective ground models of innovation among a number of Southeast Asian countries.  

Therefore, this side event features two panel sessions.

  • The first consists a case study of the Malaysian experience with four panelists from the federal and local government, parliamentarian and civil society; highlighting the Malaysian SDG innovations in building back better.  
  • The second panel, comprises ASEAN regional partners such as the ASEAN Secretariat and academicians from three Southeast Asian countries, namely Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines. The session will draw both achievements and challenges in localising SDGs through a partnership model to ensure that no one is left behind in the socio economic and environmental development agenda of building back better.
