Research results. - Civil society is a key partner in achieving all 17 sustainable development goals, but is not sufficiently involved in the processes of achieving the SDGs; - New forms of cooperation and interaction with civil society institutions should be introduced for their active involvement in the achievement of the SDGs; Conclusions. It is necessary to ensure the involvement of civil society institutions in all stages of the implementation of the SDGs - from the development of national action plans for achieving the SDGs to reporting.
