To monitor and evaluate the implementation of the goals in all regions, a plethora of NGOs operate around the world. One of these NGOs is established in Germany and called ‘Dekabristen’.

Achieving sustainable development would require the active participation of all sectors of society and all types of people.

Anna defines the term VNR as a process which aims to facilitate the sharing of experiences, including successes, challenges and lessons learned, with a view to accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The VNRs also seek to strengthen policies and institutions of governments and to mobilize multi-stakeholder support and partnerships for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
