Detailed approaches to mainstreaming and accelerating SDG16 implementation by leveraging the VNR process follow. The resource\u2019s content is structured through the role of key stakeholders at the subnational, national, and global levels. Finally, the resource is underpinned by the guiding principles that service the entire 2030 Agenda: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave No One Behind.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 16pt;\">Key Findings<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b style=\"font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;\"><i>Approaches to strengthen the VNR design and streamlining the process with SDG 16 implementation:<\/i><\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">For example, in the planning stage of the VNR process, immediate next steps should be identified, embedding accountability mechanisms for follow up. Post-VNR presentation follow-up at the national level could include reporting back to parliament and\/or the media about the VNR presentation as well as longer-term implementation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Consolidating the VNR process with other reporting mechanisms and broader review frameworks leads to more coherent policy, consequential coordination, and greater impact. Additionally, streamlining these processes expands and deepens stakeholder engagement and allows for more effective use of collected data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><i>The importance of accountability while practicing the \u201cwhole of government\u201d and \u201cwhole of society\u201d approach:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">The \u201cwhole of government\u201d approach calls on coordinated and systematic coordination across sectors of the government and public agencies at national and subnational, local levels. This approach ensures better coordination and mobilization of public resources in the implementation and VNR review process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">On the other hand, the \u201cwhole of society\u201d approach refers to forms of collaborative governance that engage non-state actors, including civil society, the private sector, and the media, among others, at every step of development. By engaging civil society actors and grassroots organizations, in particular, not only strengthens the impact of implementation, but it also facilitates greater ownership, and by extension, accountability in the review process. Ultimately, civil society plays a fundamental role in advocating for inclusivity and supporting marginalized communities, filling gaps in data, and providing relevant ideas that would otherwise be overlooked. Thus, meaningful civil society engagement based on a whole of society approach is crucial for accountability in the VNR design delivery and follow-up as it reflects inclusive decision-making, effective governance, ensuring that SDG 16 is included and no one is left behind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><i>The urgent need for localization to facilitate ownership and accountability, as seen in case studies of meaningful community engagement:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Localization refers to the process of meaningfully taking into account sub-national contexts and local actors in the processes of decision-making, implementation, and review to \u201clocalize\u201d the 2030 Agenda. More specifically, through a \u201cground-up\u201d process, local actors can support the VNR and post-VNR processes. Critical to realizing the vision 2030 Agenda where no one is left behind is the meaningful inclusion and engagement of local governments and civil society at every level of the SDG process. It ensures greater accountability and inclusivity cultivated from the ground up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><i>The nature of data and data reporting mechanisms, as well as financing and partnerships as they relate to the VNR process:<\/i><\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Adequate data collection is a persistent challenge to tracking the progress of SDG16. It affects both the coverage and quality of data available for SDG 16 targets. In the face of this challenge lies an opportunity for bringing in diverse, new stakeholders into the process of data collection, disaggregation, monitoring, and reporting. Especially within the context of the pandemic, greater innovation, and inclusivity in collecting and managing data is critical for better quality and coverage. This endeavor requires greater coordination and communication among National Statistics Offices, UN agencies, human rights institutions, civil society, and other data collectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54a95e8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"54a95e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b097d52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b097d52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Judith Kaulem, Director of the Poverty Reduction Forum Trust in Zimbabwe and TAP Steering Committee Co-Chair explains the timely importance of this guidance resource:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d5b05c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d5b05c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe integral role played by the Voluntary National Reviews in the 2030 Agenda and SDGs follow-up cannot be over-emphasized&#8230;the process towards their production provides an opportune moment to localize the 2030 Agenda by rallying together all key stakeholders, thus ensuring local ownership of the Agenda.
