1. Background
■ Achieving the SDGs requires a inclusive and disaggregated approach as
well as holistic and transformative approach
The MDGs heavily relied on the central government since implementation
modalities were primarily top-down
Local governments (LGs) were given a very small role to play, which was
identified as a major shortcoming of the MDGs experience
The SDGs are universal with implications at the local level and the agenda
is also meant for "localising" (aligning, mainstreaming etc.) the SDGs
Localisation is “taking into account sub-national contexts,
LOCALIZING challenges, opportunities and governments at all stages
THE SDGS
of the Agenda, from the setting of goals and targets, to
determining the means of implementation and using
indicators to monitor progress (UCLG, n.d.)."
A number of SDGs and their targets involve the prominent role of
LGs in the 2030 Agenda
