The Sustainable Development Advisory Council represented Namibia in the first meeting of the Open SDG Club, which was held from 21-23rd November 2016 in Berlin Germany.

Coming a year after the adoption of the SDGs, the first meeting of the Open SDG Club, an inititative of the German Advisory Council for Sustainable Development, provided a forum for participants to share their views and experiences about their first steps implementing the 2030 Agenda; the emerging or existing SD governance structures in their countries; the politics of data; multi-stakeholder engagement and communication; the roles played by civil society in the implementation; as well as emerging tools and platforms supporting implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

A second meeting of the Open SDG Club is planned for 2018 with participants continuing to exchange information and actions in the 32 countries in the meantime.
