Creating Pathways for Sustainable Development
Member Engagement Platform for SDG Philanthropy
The SDG Philanthropy platform is a global UNDP community dedicated to solving sustainable development goals (SDGs). With the help of Open Social, it builds the bridge between the UN, governments and the private sector by encouraging collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
This online community allows stakeholders to connect and contribute to a plan of action for the planet, people, and prosperity.
“We are an online collaboration platform that provides access to information on what partners are doing, real-time data on relevant SDGs, and events and solutions that funders and others are supporting. We add curated, targeted information every week, with a growing, connected audience.”

SDG Philanthropy’s Challenges
Contribute to the UN’s Goals
Open Social’s Solution
SDG Philanthropy Member Engagement Platform
Open Social set up SDG Philanthropy’s online member engagement platform, allowing them to create a multi-stakeholder community to advance the UN’s SDGs globally.
Promoting SDGs
With Open Social, SDG Philanthropy could create visually-appealing pages, intuitive graphical solutions, and informative images. This helps promote the community publically and to the private sector.
Making the community look, feel, and function like a user-friendly social media platform while retaining core stakeholder networking functionalities is key to drawing in new members and facilitating connection and communication between them.
Creating Engagement
The community has successfully enabled its members to reach the ultimate goal: work together and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
This is done through Open Social’s unique features and extensions, including:
- Groups for organizing stakeholders around topics
- Events to connect members online and offline
- Topic Pages to promote specific subjects
- Discussions to facilitate conversation and debate
This community spans across various countries, each with their own initiatives, groups and stakeholders. Open Social offered the perfect amount of flexibility to facilitate this.
Platform flexibility
With Open Social SDG Philanthropy’s community can support a number of sections that contain a wide variety of information.
The SDG Philanthropy site managers are able to construct each country page to their liking with Open Social’s flexible layout features, creating unique working spaces on a single platform.
The power of content blocks
The country pages were designed using the flexible sections and content blocks layout. This means that site managers can design a page using interchangeable sections with unique content blocks (text, highlights, resources, content streams, events, KPI analytics, quick links, and more).
Sections can be placed anywhere on the page, the order can be changed via drag and drop, and they can even be duplicated for ease of use.
