Finding
Japan's government organized a series of multi-stakeholder roundtables aimed to review the 2030 Agenda commitments on national implementation. Based on their results, the country adopted its SDGs Implementation Guiding Principles, representing Japan's national strategy to address the critical challenges for implementing the 2030 Agenda, including the definition of national priorities.
The Guiding Principles set by Japan establish that the international effects of domestic efforts should be considered, placing human security at the center of Japan's development cooperation. Based on the participatory nature of any 2030 Agenda implementation effort, the government commits to publicly disclose regular assessments on the national advancement of SDG implementation. Finally, the principles assume that based on the Goals’ indivisibility, the work should enhance synergies among policies.
