Comoros's status across the 17 SDGs, as assessed in this VNR.
The Union of the Comoros (Comoros) presented its second Voluntary National Review (VNR) in July 2023, three years after its first report in 2020, amid a challenging global context shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Despite these difficulties, the country has advanced from low to medium human development and from low-income to lower-middle-income status. Anchored in the Plan Comores Émergent (PCE), adopted in 2019 to align national development with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 2023 VNR highlights efforts to integrate emergency responses with long-term goals, notably through the 2022 post-COVID-19 Recovery Plan. The review adopts a participatory approach, engaging central and local authorities, civil society, the private sector, and vulnerable groups to assess progress and identify structural constraints to fully achieving the United Nations’ (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
