Issue: Setting national priorities
Finding: A National SDG Team leads the 2030 Agenda implementation in the State of Palestine. Its responsibilities include determining sustainable development priorities and integrating them within the national framework for planning. Twelve multi-stakeholder SDG work groups support its efforts, each with a focal point. Together, the focal points identified SDG priorities based on factors such as population needs, resource availability, the national planning timeframe, and service-providing restrictions resulting from Israeli presence in the field. Thus, SDG prioritization became aligned to national development through a multi-stakeholder process led by the government, and based on real opportunities, as well as financial and operational constraints.
