SPP Partner application

Share, scale-up and replicate your work and showcase your contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG12) - Become a Partner! 

The OPN SPP Programme is open to all organisations that are interested in joining an active implementing “community of practice” and a collaborative platform supporting the implementation of sustainable public procurement as part of the transition towards sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG12). 

By joining the OPN SPP programme, you become part of the One Planet Network, which is the network of the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, the implementation mechanism for SDG12.

What does it mean to be a Programme Partner?

• Showcase, disseminate or scale-up your work by affiliating your projects and activities with the OPN SPP Programme, making them thus part of the products or solutions  (portfolio) that the programme offers or is developing to support countries in implementing sustainable public procurement;

• Demonstrate your contribution to SDG12/Agenda 2030 by participating in the annual One Planet Network reporting exercise, and in that way:

  • show accountability towards all actors and donors, communicating results to the wider public, and mobilising political and financial support, and

  • get your work included in the 10YFP report to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and other international policy fora as relevant; 

• Participate in OPN SPP Programme activities, team up with other organizations for action on the ground and to develop innovative projects at scale;

• Apply for a seat in the programme’s Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Committee (MAC) in case of a vacancy; and

• Be part of the Programme’s information flow, contributing and benefiting by knowledge sharing within the programme community, sharing experiences, lessons learnt, good practices, tools and methodologies in support of sustainable procurement. 

• The Co-Leads of the OPN SPP Programme  in turn can play its role as a ‘matchmaker’ and link you up with other actors, identify other projects and events that are of interest to you, and promote your relevant work to the network.
