Global Institutional Role to Promote Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Zimbabwe

Abstract

The role of institutions in development discourse when it comes to inclusive development is hotly debated in recent years. Nonetheless, little is known about the role of global institutions in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the context of the global pandemic widely known as the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this information, this chapter will focus on the role of global institutions in promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals in Zimbabwe. This study establishes that global institutions play an enabling role when it comes to the achievement of SDGs in Zimbabwe through developmental policy advocacy and guidance, sensitization and dissemination of information, capacity building, and financing developmental programs. Based on these findings, a plethora of recommendations has been proposed that includes expansion of collaboration, improvement of governance systems and practices, improvement on international co-operation, and unlocking of international finance.
