ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to present the results of the OECD pilot programme Capacity Building Programme (CBP) for Polish public administration managers with regard to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set in the 2030 Agenda. Given that, despite individual states and public authorities’ strong commitment to work towards SDGs, 65% of the 169 SDG targets defined will not be achieved without close involvement of and proper coordination by regional and local authorities, the programme in question is particularly important, as it builds civil servants’ awareness of and trains them in SDGs, making it easier for them to reach SDG targets. The results of the programme can also be used in industries and sectors other than the public sector.
