  • Kiribati National Voluntary Review and Kiribati Development Plan Mid
    Formatted: Justified Kiribati Voluntary National Review and Kiribati Development Plan Mid-Term Review New-York, July 2018 FOREWORD I am honoured to present this first Kiribati Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Voluntary National Review Report (VNR). The VNR has provided us with an opportunity to take stock of our current stage of development and assess where our future plans will take us. It is a chance for us to engage all the people of Kiribati in helping to shape our development story to the world. It is for this reason that we have made extensive efforts to engage with our community and service organisations, the private sector, religious bodies, development partners, and all levels of government. This report is truly a product of collaboration and partnership. Effective implementation through partnership is respected by Government. Government engages NGOs, CBOs and the private sector in many of its national committees and task forces. This is also enabling ownership of development by the community. International and Regional partnership is equally important for Kiribati, and is partner/signatory committed to a number of regional and international conventions such as the Istanbul Plan of Action, the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway and the Framework for Pacific Regionalism. Our national scorecard, embodied in the Kiribati Development Plan (KDP) 2016-2019, is fully integrated with the SDGs, and groups goals into six Key Policy Areas as a way of localising the SDGs into Kiribati activities. Now that we are at the mid-point of implementing the KDP it is an opportune time to review our progress on our development agenda thus far.
