Sevilla Platform for Action

Sevilla Platform for Action


Building on the Sevilla outcome document, the Sevilla Platform for Action will mobilize alliances to implement specific actions of the document to address shared challenges towards the achievement of sustainable development.

Coalitions of countries and other stakeholders are invited to launch voluntary initiatives to deliver measurable progress to boost a renewed financing framework put in place by the Sevilla outcome document with a highly ambitious package of concrete actions.

Implementing entities will be invited to voluntarily share updates on progress in implementation in future editions of the FFD Forum.

Guidelines for Initiative Submission

 

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

To be eligible, an initiative should be:

  • New or represent a significant scaling up of an existing successful effort.
  • Forward-looking and advance progress in at least one FFD action area.
  • Follow the principles of the UN charter and should follow SMART Criteria – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Resource-based, with Time-based deliverables.

The initiatives can be put forward by a single entity or a coalition, and should be open to further participants. In coherence with the SMART principles, participating countries/entities should have the capacity in place to implement the proposed initiatives.

 

HOW TO SUBMIT AN INITIATIVE?

The window for submission of initiatives will open on 1 May and close on 6 June 2025. Initiatives submitted after the close of the window will not be considered.

Lead implementing countries/entities are invited to submit their initiative through a dedicated form that will be available on this page on 1 May 2025 when the window for initiative submission opens.

Each submission will need to provide the following information:

  • Lead implementing countries/entities.
  • Endorsing countries/entities.
  • Initiative description:
    • A brief narrative, including how the initiative will contribute to advancing FFD outcomes (maximum 500 words).
    • A list of specific actions, formulated in a way that they can be monitored, quantified and easily communicated, wherever possible, and with clear implementation timelines.
  • Scope of the initiative, specifying the FFD action areas and SDGs addressed, as well as its global, regional or national focus.
  • Focal point for follow-up.
  • Proposed line up for a press-facing launch at FFD4, e.g. Head of State, Minister, or institutional leader.

Lead implementing entities are strongly encouraged to reach out early to build a coalition of implementing and endorsing countries and entities. To avoid unnecessary duplication, when coalitions on similar initiatives can be established, the lead implementing countries or entities for each initiative will be invited to consider combining their efforts.
