Challenges to Implementation of SDG 16 (About SDG 16)

 

A further debate takes place around the challenges of SDG 16’ implementation. SDGs in general find difficulties to gather data about its indicators, but SDG 16 certain targets are misaligned with their indicators, making even harder for them to be achieved. Another challenge is the inequality of countries and actors’ capacities to collect, monitor and track the indicators that would serve as guidelines to a more effective action towards the goal. Although these problems may be great challenges to SDG 16, its complexity and limitation dwell on the agreement of the role of institutions, a factor that was not included in the MDGs and raises a lot of debate inside the countries. The fulfillment of SDG 16 is possible, but its ambitious characteristics make it a more difficult goal to pursue.

Above all, Localization can be a more objective way to address the challenges towards the completion of SDGs.                                    ...
