The meeting will bring together key stakeholders, including governmental national SDG Focal Points, international and regional organisations, civil society, academia and the private sector.

The side event will focus on equality and non-discrimination and will look at ways of identifying and reaching those at risk of being left behind highlighting the importance of disaggregated data. It will take place on 22 March.

FRA will also join a side event organised by the European Youth Forum on 21 March. This event will look at quantitative data on the challenges and opportunities youth are facing.
