A Message from the TAP Steering Committee
The launch of this Strategic Plan for the TAP Network effectively builds upon the extensive momentum the network has built over the years to advance SDG16+ and SDG accountability, and represents a year-long consultation process with TAP Network Members and Partners throughout 2019. 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.
