2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourages member states to “conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels, which are country-led and country-driven”. These national reviews – Voluntary National Reviews (VNR) – are expected to serve as a basis for the regular reviews by the high-level political forum (HLPF), meeting under the auspices of ECOSOC. Regular reviews by the HLPF are to be voluntary, state-led, undertaken by both developed and developing countries, and involve multiple stakeholders.

Ahead of the 2018 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development titled “Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies”, 35 countries have already declared to present their experiences in implementing the Agenda 2030 through the VNRs, and 8 of them are from the Central and Eastern European region: Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
