Second Voluntary National Review, Sustainable Development Goals Costa Rica 2020

Abstract

The purpose of this Review is to highlight Costa Rica’s state of progress in indicators and targets towards the implementation of the SDGs as the result of national ownership efforts, processes, and mechanisms of the various stakeholders beyond institutions.In that context, the Review is the outcome of dialogue and consultation with different stakeholders represented in the SDG Advisory Committee, providing a broad and transparent view on the national state of progress towards the 2030 Agenda. It is a national rather than a government vision. As any report should, it provides non-biased, balanced, and transparent information to showcase progress and good practices. At the same time, it recognizes the challenges and lessons learned that will lay the foundations for the Costa Rican roadmap in promoting the Decade of Action.
