Nine years since the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were unveiled, only about three are on track, depicting slowed implementation that could cost economies billions annually by 2050. “With only 15 per cent of the SDGs on track, economies globally stand to lose an extra $38 trillion per year,” the lobby says. The country has so far launched the SDGs Implementation process, prepared the MDGs end term report that provided baseline and lessons learnt and prepared the SDGs road map. Kenya has also mainstreamed SDGs into the planning frameworks, prepared progress reports including the first VNR in 2017, provided policy gaps analysis and assessed the SDGs awareness across the country. Global Compact Network Kenya Executive Director Judy Njino lauded the the Forward Faster initiative by UN seeking to further the country's achievements while pioneering additional efforts for faster Goals implementation.
