Support the TAP Network and #SDG16Now Campaign

As the world faces more conflicts than ever before, access to peace, just and inclusive societies remain a great necessity for sustainable development. Millions of people across the globe are deprived of access to justice and their human rights. It is critical that peace, justice and strong institutions become central to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through the promotion of interlinkages across sectors (SDG16+).

That’s where the Transparency, Accountability and Participation (TAP) Network comes in. The TAP Network is a broad international coalition of civil society organizations (CSOs) working together to: advance SDG16+ at global, regional, and national levels. At the TAP Network we mobilize our members, strengthen capacities, and work alongside decision-makers and policy-makers towards our goal of building a more peaceful, just, inclusive, accountable and sustainable world.

Why the TAP Network?

The TAP Network’s work is informed by the experiences of CSOs working on SDG 16 implementation, monitoring, and accountability around the globe, and we encourage our Members and Partners to engage with us in the following ways:

Supporting Civil Society

By supporting the TAP Network, you will help us continue to build and foster our community of empowered civil society actors working to advance SDG16+ at all levels, and to hold governments accountable to the SDGs more broadly. As a network, we connect national local civil society organizations with global and regional opportunities.

The #SDG16Now Campaign

Overall, the global community is behind schedule on achieving the SDG’s ambitious targets, including SDG16+. As we approach the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda, the world faces the pressing reality that, in many countries and communities, progress towards sustainable development is backsliding. The #SDG16Now Campaign mobilizes actors to advance commitments on SDG16+.

Sharing & Learning

The TAP Network includes and engages some of the foremost expert organizations working to advance SDG16+ and social accountability at all levels. TAP’s membership includes a diverse range of organizations—including global and grassroots groups, national, regional and thematic CSO networks and international NGOs and independent think tanks.
