Accelerating SDG Implementation at Local Level: Post-VLR and VSR Action + Official Closing

By drawing on concrete experiences, this session will convene LRGs, associations of LRGs, and other stakeholders to discuss approaches to institutionalizing the review process by translating VLRs and VSRs findings into tangible policies and outcomes. Through interactive dialogue, participants will explore how to ensure that VLRs and VSRs lead to measurable impact, stronger vertical and horizontal policy coherence, and stakeholder collaboration in planning and implementation processes.

The session will examine barriers, such as outdated or non-disaggregated data, access to finance and limited internal capacity, that hinder implementation, and identify strategies to overcome them. It will also reflect on what kind of enabling environment is needed, looking at how national governments, the international community, development partners, and the private sector can provide the right tools, resources, and incentives to transform VLR/VSR outcomes into sustained local impact.
