Methodology for reviewing the SDGs in the VNR report

Objective

Review all SDGs and ensure consistency in the presentation methodology.

Overview

The 2021 Voluntary National Review of Egypt covers all seventeen SDGs. It adopts a consolidated structure for reviewing the SDGs, which includes the following sections: an overview of the Goal implementation status, the Government’s relevant efforts, partnerships to implement the Goal, challenges facing implementation, the impact of COVID-19 on implementation and the mechanism adopted by Egypt in response thereto.

The section on partnerships addresses the efforts of non-governmental entities that participated in the preparation of the report, specifically civil society and the private sector, to highlight initiatives, programmes and projects that help in achieving the SDGs.

The report includes projections for the year 2030 for select indicators in each SDG, which compare the value of the indicator in case efforts continue as is versus the expected value if the pace of achieving the SDG were to be accelerated.
