According to the 2023 SDG progress report, the world is far from meeting many of the goals by 2030. To find lasting solutions, international cooperation is a must. This Handbook supports international cooperation in the SDG follow-up and review process through South-South and triangular cooperation. The integration of South-South and triangular cooperation perspectives in the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) helps track SDG progress progress in a more comprehensive and inclusive way. These efforts can help implement the much needed economic and social reforms to put the SDGs on track. The Handbook was written on behalf of United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) in response to the 2022 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) Ministerial Declaration. It was developed in collaboration with the Group of Friends of the VNRs, UN DESA, the Regional Commissions and a number of other bodies, including UNDP, FAO, ILO, UNIDO, IAEA and UN Member States.
