UN SDGs and the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) on Gender: What Countries are Reporting and What is Missing in VNRs
About this video
Prof Kim explains what can be learned from monitoring progress in achieving SDGs at national level. So far, both the interest and the level of achievement have been very disappointing. For instance, of the 33 selected gender equality dimensions, only 4 dimensions are receiving attention from more than 50% of countries. Strategic dimensions, particularly related to political and economic empowerment, are receiving the least attention. Prof Kim explains the reasons behind this shortcomings and make recommendations how national review activities could be improved to make better progress in the future.
