Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what plans the Government has to demonstrate progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the next 12 months.

Following the publication of the Government’s report on how it is delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in March, it is now embedding the SDGs in Single Departmental Plans. Over the next few months, these will be updated to reflect the Government’s new priorities. A public version will be published on GOV.UK and Departments’ contributions to the delivery of the SDGs will be reported publicly in their Annual Report and Accounts.The Government will announce in due course when it will showcase its work by presenting a Voluntary National Review at the United Nations.
