World Benchmarking Alliance

One year ago, the New York Public Library provided a beautiful backdrop for the start of the WBA’s global consultations during the 72nd United Nations General Assembly. Today, the library will act as the platform from which we take the next step. Over the past 12 months, we have seen first-hand that together we are greater than the sum of our parts. From New York to Nairobi, Buenos Aires to Bonn, we have listened to and worked with a wide-reaching network of individuals to mobilise a global community of over 10,000 advocates and supporters, including over 70 Allies. While this is a good start, we know that the real work is just beginning, as we strive to scale our efforts and deepen our impact.

The Alliance brings together a broad, balanced group of stakeholders with SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals) at its core. Allies represent a large mix of voices aligned with the universality of the SDGs. These range from civil society and business networks, to financial institutions and multi-lateral organisations.

An inclusive Alliance is essential to the effectiveness of the WBA and in creating long-lasting impact.

Allies are exploring working in partnership to maximise the impact of the WBA and as an Alliance of stakeholders. Building the bridge as we walk over it, our focus is on learning, collaboration and diversity of perspectives.
