Translating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into tangible and measurable national policies and actions requires the involvement of parliaments. This webinar held on June 5, 2020 aimed to share parliaments’ experiences in identifying national priorities and providing guidance on their implementation to ensure that national actions reflect and address specific national needs and circumstances. The main challenges to meeting the SDG targets as well as efforts undertaken by parliaments to mitigate these challenges were also discussed. It furthermore explored success factors and good practices for tracking progress towards the SDGs, with examples from the Uganda and Zambia parliaments.
