Integrated Policy Practitioners' Network

A global network for acceleration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Welcome to the Integrated Policy Practitioners' Network (IPPN)! This global knowledge network brings together development practitioners across the UN system, Government, development partners, civil society, academia and beyond to address multidimensional development challenges and accelerate progress across the 2030 Agenda. The network aims to link existing efforts on SDG integration, and enable cross-pollination and learning, to enhance capabilities of development practitioners to deliver high-quality integrated policy support.

How is the network managed?

IPPN is led by a coalition of UN agencies with a Joint Support Team hosted by UNDP assuming day-to-day management of the network. A multistakeholder Advisory Group guides the Joint Support Team on substantive focus and strategic direction. Additional partners are invited to play active roles in co-leading and cofacilitating the network and to contribute resources, practices and lessons learned.
