SDGs Localization Reports - Second Edition

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is based on the principle of “leaving no one or place behind,” which means that sustainable development must include all groups and places without any discrimination. This requires a great effort, especially in large countries in terms of population and area, such as the Arab Republic of Egypt. Therefore, the Egyptian state is paying increasing attention to the process of settling the sustainable development goals because of their impact on the world achieving inclusive and sustainable growth and balanced regional development as one of the most important pillars of the National Sustainable Development Agenda: Egypt Vision 2030.

In order for local authorities to participate effectively in the process of settling the sustainable development goals, it was necessary to have data that defines the status of each governorate in the indicators of the sustainable development goals and the indicators targets for each governorate in 2030 based on the current situation and ambition to reach the goals of the sustainable development goals at the national level.

In this context, the first version of the Localizing Sustainable Development Goals Reports was launched in 2021. The second version builds upon the first, incorporating several developments in line with the government’s ongoing efforts to monitor and assess sustainable development indicators at both the national and local levels. This reflects the government’s belief that effective localization follows a bottom-up approach.
