Policy Brief on The Contribution of Higher Education Partnerships in Southeast Asia Towards The Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030

The SHARE Programme is pleased to publish its latest policy brief entitled ‘The Contribution of Higher Education Partnerships in Southeast Asia Towards The Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.’

This Policy Brief summarises the outcomes of Policy Dialogue 14 held in Bangkok in March 2022, showcasing the contributions of Southeast Asian partnerships in higher education to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. The event attracted SHARE’s many partners in the higher education sector from across the region and beyond, including representatives of the ASEAN Secretariat, the EU, SEAMEO RIHED, UNESCO, the ASEAN University Network, Asia-Europe Foundation and many others.

The Policy Dialogue explored how to promote partnerships between higher education, the private sector and civil society, with the aim of creating collective intelligence on how these stakeholders can work together towards the SDGs. The outcomes of this event were brought forward to the UNESCO World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2022), which took place in Barcelona between May 18 and 20, 2022.

This Policy Brief integrates case studies of good practice, as well as the voices of students, to share learnings for creating equitable and successful partnerships towards achieving the SDGs.
