Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs) are a process to monitor SDG achievement at the local level and powerful accelerators of the SDG localization process. As their use is gradually adopted by more and more local and regional governments from around the globe, VLRs have become an instrument to orient strategic planning, financing, and initiatives through the SDG lens. That is why UN-Habitat supports the development of action oriented VLRs, connecting monitoring to planning, and fostering horizontal and vertical policy coherence

The VLR global movement is growing day by day: more than 300 local and regional governments have developed VLRs from all over the world. Search the UN-Habitat VLR repository to see all the VLRs produced worldwide:
