As every year since 2016, Cepei has been monitoring and analyzing the voluntary national reports (VNRs) submitted by Latin American and Caribbean countries to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on their progress toward the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This year, as part of its follow-up and analysis, Cepei conducted a multi-stakeholder campaign with representatives of the United Nations, civil society, and experts from the Cepei team on the VNRs elaboration process, as well as the challenges faced by the region in meeting sustainable development.
Mabel Bianco, Member of the Facilitating Group of the Latin American and Caribbean Civil Society Participation Mechanism for sustainable development, comments on the main challenges to following up on the 2030 Agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean.
