This national review is part of the first National Voluntary Report (NVR) as a national effort and a necessary step to monitor the progress toward the SDFs, using a participatory approach and assisted by national consultations (workshops and forums) organized in various Iraqi areas to discuss the development challenges facing Iraq in the upcoming stages. The Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) constitute a key tool to monitor the progress of the National Development Plan (NDP) and promote it locally. The VNRs also contribute to presenting the country’s experience, expertise and lessons to be shared with other countries. The Sustainable development agenda 2030 and its goals control the roadmap tracks for all countries which know they have a responsibility to achieve these goals and increase the implementation percentage to build a world in which all enjoy justice, equality, and sustainable prosperity with protecting the planet resources from inefficient and unfair depletion and guaranteeing the right of the current and coming generations to live a high-quality life. Therefore, these goals are universal, inseparable, integrated and interwoven and they attempt to strike a balance among the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainable development.
