The 2024 HLPF featured presentations of Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) by 36 countries. Since 2016, 366 reviews have been presented at the HLPF by 191 countries and the European Union. Most countries have now conducted at least two VNRs, demonstrating a continued global commitment to monitoring and follow-up on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The process of conducting a VNR can help to support and enhance national monitoring mechanisms, provide continuous real-time data and feedback, and facilitate timely adjustments to policies aimed at achieving the SDGs. Over the years, VNRs have illustrated good practices in governance, institutional capacity-building, stakeholder engagement, data collection and analysis, and means of implementation that engage both local and national actors, with emphasis on the principle of leaving no one behind.
