SIDS Global Business Network

We are a network for private sector partnerships that contribute to the sustainable development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Small Island Developing States Global Business Network (SIDS-GBN) is led by the United Nations Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS). The network harnesses the innovation of the private sector to achieve sustainable development in SIDS. It network forges partnerships among SIDS regional private sector organisations and works towards strengthening inter-regional business alliances, encouraging international businesses to focus on SIDS as potential market opportunities and vice versa. The SIDS-GBN also fosters greater awareness of the importance of sustainable development as a guide to promoting dynamic business sectors in line with the SAMOA Pathway and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals.
