Palestine's status across the 17 SDGs, as assessed in this VNR.
The State of Palestine’s Voluntary National Review (VNR) 2018 presents the country’s progress, challenges and national efforts towards implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development under conditions of prolonged occupation and political instability. Palestine integrated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the National Policy Agenda (NPA) 2017–2022 and sectoral strategies, focusing on 105 SDGs targets aligned with national priorities. Despite severe restrictions on movement, land, water and economic resources, the Palestinian Government continued efforts to improve social protection, healthcare, education, food security and institutional development. The VNR highlights that sustainable development in Palestine remains closely linked to ending the occupation and ensuring the rights and wellbeing of the Palestinian people.
