The North Eastern Region District SDG Index 2.0 shows remarkable progress in the region!

@UNDP_India is proud to support @NITIAayog, @MDoNER_India & NER states in tracking & accelerating the #SDGs in the region.

Frontrunner districts up from 62% to 85% since 2021-22. #Mizoram, #Sikkim & #Tripura now have all districts in Frontrunner status. The region shines in #SDG6 (Clean Water & Sanitation) & #SDG15 (Life on Land).
✅ 94% of districts are Frontrunners in #SDG6
✅ 90%+ are Frontrunners/Achievers in #SDG15

#UNDP’s technical support helps states use the Index for sharper policies, local dashboards, & better targeting of schemes.

Sharing (from my prior role) a just-published policy brief I co-wrote on India’s work on institutionalizing SDG localization at multiple levels of governance, where the SDG framework is a reference point for billions of dollars of local government spending. @UNDP_India

[UNDP India @UNDP_India]

With a population exceeding 1.4 billion, #India 🇮🇳 will play a leading role in determining the relative success or failure of the #SDGs!

India has made a policy choice to prioritize the institutionalization of the SDGs.

The morning after. Disappointment. But an awareness that we saw this team play special cricket for 10 games in a row. And a big big shout-out to Rahul Dravid; stayed in the background while the team was winning, fronted up when the team lost. Backed players, created a fantastic combination with Rohit and, well, was just utterly decent as always
