B.10.5.2 ACCOMMODATION FOR THE VENICE WINTER SCHOOL EVENT (from 19 October to 23 October 2026, in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy)

PROJECT BACKGROUND

UNDP provides integrated programmatic, policy and financing solutions to realise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, UNDP has created a Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan. The Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) and the Crisis Bureau (CB) are the two anchor Bureaux of the GPN.

Through SDG Local Action, the GRP Hub seeks to contribute to peace and development, achieving a visible impact on communities and improving lives by delivering integrated solutions that harness global expertise and partnerships. The SDG Local Action Unit works closely with local and regional governments as key development players, highlighting their role as public service implementers, as drivers of innovation and the closest institution to people.

Local and regional governments are already responsible for over 65% of the SDG targets, most of them linked to basic service provision from water, sanitation, mobility, climate action, health or education. Cities and territories play a big part in the implementation of SDGs, that are becoming a new tool for strategic planning and budgeting in the mid-to long-term. Since 2015, local governments and their associations have been increasingly active in promoting the SDGs through advocacy, working with their local population and partners in transposing the spirit of Agenda 2030 in cities and territories. Local Governments have also started to use SDGs as a strategic framework to deliver better and more innovative public services linked to SDG targets and indicators.

UNDP is seeking accommodation services in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy, to host its Venice Winter School from 20 to 22nd October 2026. This international meeting will bring together city leaders to explore concrete, practical and experienced solutions to improve public services.
