2000 Advocate Tolulope Lewis Tamoka, the United Nations Global Compact Chief of Government Relations and Africa, shared the following: “The Group of Friends of the UN Global Compact, co-chaired by South Africa and Switzerland convened at the Permanent Mission of South Africa [in late November] …. I was pleased to engage with Member States on how we can deepen collaboration to finance the SDGs and scale private-sector contributions to national development priorities, while reflecting on the UN Global Compact’s forward-looking agenda….As we conclude the year marking the UN Global Compact’s 25th anniversary, I remain encouraged by the strong alignment between governments and responsible businesses, an essential driver of measurable progress across the SDGs.”
