One of the most ambitious and important global agreements in recent history is the  Agenda 2030. It focuses on Transforming Our World: The  Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. The implementation of this agenda came into effect on 1 January 2016,  and rests on the five Pillars which are: People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership and Peace. Since 2016, the Annual Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit (ISDS) had focused these Pillars, one after the other: -People in 2016, Planet in 2017 and Prosperity in 2018.

The 2019 Summit is the 10th anniversary of the Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit (ISDS). One key success story of the Summit is the breaking  of silos and the forging of partnerships among various stakeholders in achieving the SDGs. The success of the SDGs requires partnerships among governments, the academia, the private sector and civil society organisations. Strategic partnerships that are built upon principles and values,  shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre are needed at the global, regional, national and local levels. The importance of global partnerships as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships cannot therefore, be over-emphasised in order to adequately mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, and to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals across scales.

The 10th ISDS will focus on Partnerships, thus the theme of the Summit is Building and Sustaining Strategic Partnerships for the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this regard, the following sub-themes will be addressed:

1. South-South Cooperation and Partnerships for Achieving SDGs

2. North-South Cooperation and Partnerships for Achieving SDGs

3. Resource Mobilization and Financing Solutions Initiatives  for the SDGs

4. The Quadruple Helix (Government – Universities – Private Sector - Civil Society) Partnerships for Sustainable Development

5. Technology, Creativity and Innovation Solutions

6. Population, Migration and Sustainable Development

7. Partnership for Inclusive Growth and Economic Development

8. Partnering for Sustainable Cities

9. Collective Actions to combat Climate Change

10. Partnership for Essential Data and Blockchain
