SDGs Post 2015- Localizing SDGs in Kenya: Building on the Lessons Learned of the MDGs.

May 4, 2017

Kenya like many developing countries has established that local dimension of development is increasingly linked with global and national concerns, an enabling framework for promoting sustainable development. Therefore, agreed upon global development frameworks must be localized to fit within the national and local development contexts. Such would need to be the case with the SDGs. They would need to be localized and implemented at both national and county levels in Kenya. Therefore, the achievement of the SDGs would depend highly on strong national and local actions and leadership, embedded in a coordinated and effective governance system at all levels. In other words, localization and mainstreaming is critical to the successful implementation of SDGs. This entails the need to identify specific mechanisms, tools, and processes to effectively translate the SDGs at the national and local levels for effective implementation, monitoring and reporting.
