Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) show marked progress by countries as well as challenges in their respective pursuit of implementing the 2030 Agenda. Countries across the globe need to ramp up their efforts to learn from each other in strengthening their governance to accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recommendations are to develop robust vertical and horizontal governance mechanisms to enable national and local governments to address cross-cutting and complex sustainability issues; create links across sectors and actors to strengthen interlinkages between SDGs and targets, and with other agendas, to enhance synergies and minimise trade-offs; integrate the SDGs into national and local budgetary processes to improve policy coherence; link SDGs monitoring and evaluation processes to existing local and national monitoring mechanisms.
