Accountability for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda 2023-2026


The implementation of the 2030 Agenda is guided by a follow-up and review process that supports accountability for the Agenda at national, regional and global levels. With this contribution to a set of partners notably from civil society, Switzerland enables key stakeholders to take part in the review processes for more inclusive monitoring of progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind.

Contexto

The 2030 Agenda with its 17 SDGs is the overarching agreement for sustainable development among UN Member States and its legitimate guiding framework, globally and nationally. The High-level Political Forum (HLPF) is the global platform for follow-up and review of implementation at the global level and provides necessary political guidance. The HLPF includes yearly Voluntary National Reviews.

At midpoint of the 2030 Agenda the achievement of the SDGs is at great risk if no meaningful acceleration is achieved. This requires appropriate review and accountability mechanisms, stronger capacities to design and implement inclusive policies in line with the 2030 Agenda and an explicit focus on those furthest left behind.

Objetivos To contribute to a credible and inclusive global accountability mechanism for the 2030 Agenda with an evidence-based and multi-stakeholder process for follow-up and review to accelerate progress in SDG implementation to leave no one behind.
Grupos destinarios 2030 Agenda stakeholders: national and sub-national governments and civil society organizations, mainly from Least Developed Countries (LDC) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but also academia, private sector, UN member states and SDC staff (Outcome 3).
