Organization's priorities and work in relation to commitment:
The Government of Sri Lanka has decided to present its Voluntary National Review (VNR) to the UNHLPF this year. Stakeholder engagement is one of the most important components of the national review on the SDGs. The objective of the stakeholder engagement is not merely to consult, but also to ensure that no one is left behind in all aspects of the process; planning to implementation & review. In the absence of a proper engagement process for an inclusive transformation, Sri Lanka has since 2018 conducted an Independent Monitoring, Evaluation & Review Mechanism with many outcomes including a VPR, PSC & a Domestic Resource Mobilization Framework; This year we are adding a VSR as well & all in partnership. Also, Focused SDG Reviews (FSR) on SDG4, SDG5, SDG14, SDG15, SDG17 are planned with strategic partners.
Organization's work related to TAP network's SGD16+ work & accountability for 2030 Agenda:
