How We Make a Difference
A Message from the TAP Steering Committee
The past several years have not been easy for the global community; amidst a global pandemic, increasing war and violence worldwide and a myriad of other crises, we have been backsliding on our mutual goals of international peace and justice. Since their inception in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals, and SDG16+ in particular, have been a roadmap towards a better future. Yet, as we near the halfway point to 2030, we are nowhere near its achievement. We believe that as a platform that brings together a diverse array of civil society actors from around the world, the TAP Network can play a critical role in empowering local actors to advance this important work, and we call on all actors – including governments, donors and other institutions – to support these efforts going forward. We are proud to put forward this 2023-2025 Strategic Plan for the TAP Network, which outlines the key objectives and theory of change for our collective work together. This plan will look to strengthen TAP's added-value as a convener, mobilizer and advocate, as well as the network's role in providing a platform for sharing and learning amongst civil society around SDG16+, and the 2030 Agenda overall.
