Malawi presents SDG progress at UN High Level Political Forum
Malawi on Thursday, July 16, 2020 presented its progress report on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the United Nations (UN) High Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development which was held under the theme ‘Accelerated action and transformative pathways: realizing the decade of action and delivery for sustainable development’.
The virtual presentation was made in form of a Voluntary National Review (VNR) mechanism, a process through which countries assess and present their progress in achieving the SDGs to fellow UN member states.
The Malawi Government, through the National Planning Commission (NPC), undertook the task of developing the VNR Report through a Technical Committee whose membership included various stakeholders such as government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Civil Society Organizations and others.
