VNRs can serve as key drivers of Africa's efforts to achieve SDGs following COVID-19 | United Nations Economic Commission for Africa

Brazzaville, Congo, March 2, 2021 (ECA) - The devastating effects of COVID-19 are being felt in all spheres of life, and in most cases, the pandemic has exacerbated poverty, hunger, violence against women, children and other vulnerable groups.
However, African countries can strategically use available tools to steer their countries out of the depressing ripples of the pandemic, and the global sustainable development goals Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) have been identified as efficient tools to help countries find ways out of the doldrums.
A panel discussion Tuesday at the ongoing Seventh Session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD) being held virtually, unanimously agreed that the VNRs can be useful in mapping out solutions and strategies to attaining the SDGs and Agenda 2063.
