Stakeholder Views: Mongolia Civil Society Joint Report on Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals 

Voluntary National Review (VNR) is the globally accepted path to share the success, achievement, best practices, challenges, lessons learnt and actions to take to advance the implementation of global sustainable development goals (SDGs) 2030. The VNR shall also support the implementation of SDGs through encouraging cooperation of sectors, expand partnerships to improve the state policies and strengthen the existing structures. Country reviews are discussed on the United Nations High Level Political Forum (HLPF).

The CSOs network of Mongolia presents this first joint report on SDGs and targets related to their areas of work and challenges faced. The 2019 SDG implementation report is called to address the activities to “Empower people and ensure access and equality”. Mongolia shall be specifically presenting “air pollution” as one of development issues. The CSO report reviews the current conditions of the implementation of SDGs and targets which are directly related to CSO activities as well as the challenges faced.

The CSOs believe that implementation of SDGs directly depends on the inclusion of SDGs in national policies and programmes of Mongolia and their coordination. For this purpose, we have specifically reviewed the inclusion of the solutions, measures to ensure implementation of SDG targets and indicators in the MSDV-2030 adopted in 2016, “Three pillar development policy” ratified by the resolution 42 of the Government in 2018, Government platform for 2016-2020 and its action plan and relevant national programs, policy papers of the sectors.
