SIDSnet serves as a global platform to coordinate and facilitate the activities related to the sustainable development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in three key areas:

• Track international meetings and inter-governmental processes related to SIDS
• Contribute to filling the gaps in data availability by collating national data and statistical information towards assessment of vulnerability-resilience country profiles.
• Facilitate and motivate partnerships across the thematic areas of the Barbados Programme of Action (BPoA).

A new project entitled “Capacity Development through Education for Sustainable Development and Knowledge Management for Small Island Developing States” will redevelop SIDSnet, creating a much needed central knowledge management system to facilitate information sharing and collaboration.
