3. Preparedness of urban LG in delivering SDGs in BD
3.1 Interpreting Government SDG initiatives
■ Voluntary National Review (VNR)
-
VNR of Bangladesh (2017) has acknowledged the local
government sector to a very limited extent
Regrettably, very few specific strategies or initiatives for
localising the SDGs have been mentioned in the report
The establishment of union digital centres (UDCs) in all the
union councils-is the only initiative mentioned in the VNR
In addition, data regarding the LGD is absent from the data
tables presented on the status of data availability of the SDGS.
As the VNR focused on SDGs 1 (end poverty), 2 (Zero
Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 5 (Gender
Equality), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 14
(Life below water) and 17 (Partnership), not much could be
found on SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and
SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions).
