Africa SDG INDEX AND DASHBOARDS REPORT 2018

The report is also a call to action for governments to focus efforts on the SDGs with new information on where they stand. The Dashboards should help each African country identify priorities for action, understand key implementation challenges, and identify the gaps that must be closed in order to achieve the SDGs by 2030. We hope this report supports African discussions about priorities in achieving the SDGs and that it is operationalized into a tool for national and regional discussion and planning. Our vision is for an official day on which African countries will convene stakeholders in their respective countries around the SDGs, with this report presented as a useful tool for analysis and action. The “Africa SDG Day” would allow all actors to discuss appropriate SDG strategies given their national contexts and the findings of this and related reports. Additionally, we hope that the results of this report are disseminated in creative ways into local communities to spark collective and inclusive engagement on ways they can contextualize the SDGs and spur on progress.

Inégalités régionales sous le prisme des Objectifs de Développement Durable à l’horizon 2030

La Direction des Etudes et des Prévisions Financières (DEPF) a mené, dans le cadre de sa contribution au débat national sur la question de la réévaluation du modèle de développement, une étude intitulée : « Inégalités régionales sous le prisme des Objectifs de Développement Durable à l’horizon 2030 ».

GENDER IN THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS: INFORMATION GUIDE FOR ARAB MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOAL REPORTS

This booklet represents the main outcome of the project "Toward more gender-responsive Millennium Development Goal (MDG) monitoring and reporting in the Arab region" that was implemented by the ESCWA in cooperation with United Nations agencies in the Arab region. The project aimed at forging a common understanding among stakeholders on ways to engender quantitative monitoring and reporting on the MDGs, particularly the identification of priority regional gender issues and the development of gender-sensitive measurements in Arab countries. We hope this booklet, with its in depth analysis of current practices in gender monitoring and reporting in the Arab countries, the proposed framework and the ways forward, will serve as a useful information guide for statisticians, gender experts and other stakeholders with regard to mainstreaming gender statistics in MDGs in the Arab region.

Action against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: An Updated Strategy

This document presents an updated strategy: action against sexual and gender-based violence. This strategy provides a structure to assist UNHCR's operations in SGBV interventions through a multisectoral and inter-agency approach. This book provides instructions for UNHCR's operations to develop their own multi-year SGBV strategy across the country. Developed from a matrix, these strategies will reflect the needs of different populations at risk and can be adapted to either stable or emergency contexts, and to urban or rural / camp environments. Action against SGBV stresses that it is at the highest levels of management that responsibility for the development and implementation of SGBV control programs lies. Based on an independent evaluation carried out in 2008 on UNHCR's efforts to prevent and respond to SGBV, Action against SGBV was prepared in consultation with UNHCR staff, partners, persons of concern, governments and experts. The book includes recommendations for action in three major institutional areas to strengthen UNHCR's capacity and expertise in addressing SGBV, and aims to improve the quality of protection by promoting six areas of concern. often neglected and integrating them into a comprehensive protection strategy, as appropriate.
