e-Learning series: The 2030 Agenda Follow-Up and Review

This course series is designed to equip learners with the essential knowledge and skills needed to support preparations of the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) for the High-level Political Forum (HLPF).  

The series covers several core areas, starting with enhancing the ability to conduct evidence-based reviews of SDG progress, and utilizing data analysis and insights to inform future policies and actions. It also delves into integrated assessments and highlights the critical role of VNRs in this process. Emphasis is placed on the importance of partnerships and stakeholder engagement to ensure inclusive and participatory approaches in VNR preparations. 

Additionally, the series aims to empower participants to advocate for agrifood system transformations as a powerful catalyst for accelerating the implementation of the SDGs.
