Is your company in contact with local UN officials? As a business leader, are you aware of UN activities in your country? Would you be interested in engaging in a dialogue with UN officials? Would you like to share with the UN your views on how they can improve their work in-country? By taking part in our survey, you are raising awareness of business expectations of the UN and what is the most effective path towards forming stronger partnerships between the international body and the local private sector.

The survey results will contribute to an in-depth analysis and playbook currently being produced jointly by the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and the Konrad-Adenauer Stiftung (KAS). This playbook is part of a major joint project to strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and the private sector to deliver on the 2030 Agenda as well as to address the socio-economic impact of Covid-19.

IOE is the foremost global representative of business in social and employment policy debates taking place in the International Labour Organization (ILO), across the UN, G20 and other emerging forums. IOE brings a global representativity of over 50 million businesses, both large and small, across all sectors and in over 140 countries; experience and expertise in socio-economic policy advocacy at the international level and on the ground; and in-depth knowledge of the specific needs and challenges of the local business community.

KAS fosters multi-stakeholder engagement in striving to further the Sustainable Development Goals. It seeks to strengthen partnerships and exchanges with UN institutions and agencies, governments as well as actors from civil society and the private sector.

We sincerely appreciate the time you take to complete this brief survey and look forward to engaging with you.
