The study shows that MSPs can create spaces for dialogue, joint learning and coordinated solutions, but their impact cannot be taken for granted. Clear goals, fair opportunities for participation, transparent decision-making and reliable support are among the factors that matter. The research also highlights that MSPs cannot replace political institutions or international cooperation, but can complement them. These findings offer practical insights for those looking to strengthen and develop MSPs so they can work more effectively together and contribute to sustainable development.

Ten years after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study Multistakeholder partnerships after a decade of sustainable development goals: synergies, effectiveness, legitimacy and the future of sustainability governance takes stock of the role of multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) in advancing sustainable development. The authors examine what MSPs can contribute, where their strengths and limitations lie, and which conditions influence their effectiveness and legitimacy. Key topics include how different stakeholders work together towards shared goals and how they navigate conflicting interests and unequal power relations.
