Sovereign Sustainability and Development (SSD) is a UK private limited company that was created in late 2017 to act as the convener and secretariat of the G20 Global Health and Development Partnership. Following consultation with a number of key stakeholders and confirmation from the Government of Argentina that health would remain a focus of the G20 under its Presidency in 2018, Sovereign Strategy – the organisation that had provided secretarial pro-bono support to the Partnership in 2017 – created a sister company to provide comprehensive management of the Partnership during its consequential phase and to reflect the increasing focus of its mandate and expertise in the sustainable development field.

Partnership members benefit from being integrated into the mission, vision and strategic objectives as outlined in the Strategic Objectives of the Partnership as outlined under section “G20 Health and Development Partnership”. Partners will have the unique opportunity to raise their excellent work and issues in the collaborative platform that SSD is creating to enable a first-class cross- sectorial dialogue. With the organisation of high-level events throughout its strategic year and the collaborative advocacy strategy, SSD will bring partners together with high-level policymakers, beyond the G20. Partners will have the unique opportunity to continuously contribute to the strategic direction of the Partnership and benefit from the Partnership as a platform which facilitates the pursuit of individual as well as collective objectives.
