Voluntary Local Review of Male
2024 – 2025
What we are doing
A Voluntary Local Review (VLR) is a process through which sub-national governments undertake a voluntary review of their progress towards delivering the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Conducting a VLR helps spread awareness on the SDGs with local communities and accelerates their uptake across all municipal departments, strengthening horizontal and vertical coordination between them, as well as more informed decision making. A VLR acts as a unifying exercise at the local level that serves as a model for comprehensive bottom-up action to achieve the SDGs.
What we are achieving
To support the development of Malé VLR, ICLEI South Asia is supporting ESCAP by collecting the data, drafting the VLR and linking these to a participatory process. ICLEI South Asia is responsible for the research of current trends and tendencies in the light of the SDGs and the systematization of data received from Malé City Government and other entities.
