1. Introduction&&

As"the"Sustainable"Development"Goals"(SDGs)"become"official"global"agenda"after"its"adoption"by"the"United"Nation"in"September"2015,"UCLG"and"UCLG"ASPAC"realize"the"importance"of"SDGs"in"the"role"and" function" of" Local" Government/" Local" Government" Association" (LG/LGA)." Therefore" with" the"support"from"EU"and"ILO"and"close"cooperation"with"Negombo"City"and"Federation"of"Sri"Lanka"Local"Government" Association" (FSLGA)," they" both" organized" regional" workshop" on" SDGs" targeting" local"government"and"local"government"representatives"in"South"and"Southwest"Asia"region.""

The" objective" of" the" workshop" is" 1)" to" identify" plausible" role," responsibility," challenges" of" local"government" to" implement" SDGs," 2)" to" develop" strategy" in" communicating" SDGs" to" Local"Government,"3)"to"develop"a"learning"action"plan"on"SDGs"to"help"local"governments"localizing"and"mainstreaming" SDGs" into" their" development" agenda" in" particular" through" SouthISouth" Triangular"Cooperation" (SSTC)," and" 4)" to" strengthen" the" function" learning" platforms" and" cooperation" among"local"governments."

In"order"to"achieve"those"objectives"and"provide"common"ground"and"baseline"understanding"on"the"relation" between" SDGs" and" LG/LGA," prior" to" the" workshop," UCLG" ASPAC" conducted" rapid"assessment"survey"on"SDGs"targeting"LG/LGA.""

2. Survey&approach&&This"survey"is"designed"to"be"simple"and"focus"on"the"key"issues"to"understand"what"LG/LGA"need"in"relation" to"SDGs" implementation" that" can"be"used"as"a"basis" for"UCLG" to"develop" communication"and"learning"actions.""

The" rapid" need" assessment" consist" of" three" parts." First" part" is" assessing" overall" need" of" LG/LGA"related" SDGs"which" covers" issues" such" as" knowledge;" organization" set" up;" interest" and" relevance;"and"onIgoing"programs/projects"of"LG/LGA"related"to"SDGs"implementation.""

The" second" part" is" assessing" need" of" LG" toward" SDGs" communication." In" this" section," the" survey"focus"on"component"of"communication"strategy"such"as"communication"objectives,"target"audience,"message"framework,"tools/media,"timing,"and"impact"evaluation"of"communication"action.""
