Linking VNR findings and recommendations to national planning processes
Objective
To outline the mechanisms and road map for integrating the 2026 VNR findings and recommendations into national development processes while clearly articulating a development trajectory through 2030.
Overview
The 2026 VNR emphasizes the need to integrate its findings and recommendations into national planning, programming and budgeting processes to ensure that priority actions receive the political and financial support needed for implementation. This will be achieved, among others, by:
• Gradually integrating the findings and recommendations into national and regional development plans, wilaya plans, communal plans and local sectoral programmes. Training and technical support will be provided to local authorities to enhance their capacity to use the VNR in decision-making and policy implementation.
• Translating the findings and recommendations into workplans and operational road maps to inform the refinement of national sustainable development strategies, the updating of government action plans, short- and medium-term sectoral programming, and annual budgetary resource allocations.
A post-VNR road map for the period 2026–2030 is also included. It outlines key milestones from the finalization and presentation of the VNR at the High-Level Political Forum to operationalizing the VNR recommendations in sectoral road maps, annual progress reporting, stakeholder engagement, and preparation for the next VNR cycle.
Informed by the VNR findings and recommendations, the report presents development trajectories through 2030 across key economic, social, environmental, institutional and international cooperation dimensions. These trajectories:
• Describe projected development pathways and expected progress across these dimensions based on policy commitments, available resources, implementation capacities and anticipated global developments.
• Highlight national priorities related to advancing economic diversification, accelerating renewable energy deployment, strengthening water security, implementing climate adaptation and environmental protection measures, promoting social inclusion, modernizing public institutions through digital transformation, and deepening regional and international cooperation.
Challenges
Predominantly descriptive reporting in the previous cycle:
• The previous reporting cycle highlighted the need for a more rigorous assessment of public policies and their effective contributions to the SDGs. This challenge was addressed through the adoption of a data-driven approach, marking a shift to more evidence-based, disaggregated and analytical reporting.
Limited integration of VNR findings into national planning and follow-up processes:
• This challenge will be addressed through the integration of VNR findings and recommendations into national planning cycles through a national feedback process to adjust strategies, programmes and intervention frameworks; the territorialization of VNR conclusions through feedback workshops aimed at adapting recommendations to local realities and strengthening the capacities of decentralized actors; and the development of a post-2026 VNR road map. These measures are expected to provide a good basis for monitoring the implementation of the recommendations and findings of the present VNR, along with their translation into tangible actions, and for preparing the next VNR.
