Celebrating the Launch of the CSOs 2024 VNR Report: A Milestone in Kenya's Sustainable Development Journey
SDGs Kenya Forum
Platform aimed at a coordinated approach for CSOs & citizens to engage government & development actors towards implement
The recent launch of the CSOs 2024 Voluntary National Review (VNR) Report marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s commitment to sustainable development. This comprehensive report, developed through a collaborative effort of various Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), offers an in-depth analysis of our progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event was more than just a presentation of data and findings; it celebrated collective efforts and a renewed commitment to leaving no one behind.
A Collaborative Effort
The development of the CSOs 2024 VNR Report is a testament to the power of collaboration. CSOs from Kenya came together to share insights, gather data, and amplify the voices of marginalized communities. This inclusive approach ensured that the report not only highlights the progress made but also brings to light the challenges faced by different segments of society. By involving diverse stakeholders, the report provides a holistic view of Kenya’s journey towards sustainable development.
Amplifying Marginalized Voices
One of the most remarkable aspects of the 2024 VNR Report is its focus on marginalized groups. Throughout the process, special attention was given to ensuring that these communities had the opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives. This approach underscores the principle of leaving no one behind and demonstrates a commitment to social justice and equity. The insights from these groups have enriched the report and provided valuable lessons for future policy and program development.
Insights and Findings
The report offers a detailed analysis of Kenya’s progress on various SDGs. It highlights achievements in areas such as education, health, and economic growth, while also pointing out areas that require further attention. The data and case studies presented in the report serve as both a celebration of accomplishments and a call to action for addressing ongoing challenges. This dual focus ensures that the report is a record of the past and a guide for future actions.
Importantly, the CSOs VNR Report complements the Government's Voluntary National Review Report, as Kenya is among the countries listed for VNR at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2024.
