Abstract
NGOs are recognized as pillars for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the understanding that the State and its institutions cannot achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda by themselves.
This situation is reflected in the very design of the 2030 Agenda, since, this sector had a very important role in the accompaniment of the initiatives, thematic consultations, contribution in terms of inputs and experiences, their participation in the process was generated in the form of coalitions organized by sectors, countries and regions.
The EU must ensure each of the points set out in the 2017 Development Consensus, are taken into account when it adapts and proposes solutions for current problems in line with the 2030 Agenda. In this sense, it is necessary to follow up all the mechanisms and instruments both inside and outside the EU, in which the work of the NGOs is one of the main axes, in particular, the joint programming of cooperation between partners and the development of association modalities and knowledge management that derive of good practices that could be replicated.
