This short, self-paced course is based on models, tools and methodology outlined in the “Goal 16 Advocacy Toolkit” developed by TAP Network. The course focuses on understanding SDG 16 – Ensuring Peaceful, Inclusive and Just Societies – as well as its targets and indicators.

The course provides practical tools and a step-by-step approach explaining how faith actors can be engaged, and how to best work with various government institutions to plan and implement SDG 16 at national and global levels. The course also provides recommendations on how faith actors can: engage with the SDG Policy Coordination Mechanisms; provide input to national SDG implementation plans; and work with government institutions to improve national SDG programmes. 

All course components are available now and can be completed at a time that is convenient for you (within a one-month period). Please note that this course is not facilitated by a course team leader. Any specific questions can be emailed to the KAICID E-Learning Programme at GEORGIA.GLEOUDI@KAICIID.ORG or elearning@kaiciid.org
