Handbook for preparation of Voluntary National Reviews (2024 Edition)
This is a handbook for countries preparing to conduct a voluntary national review (VNR) and present their VNR at the 2024 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to be held under the auspices of ECOSOC from 8 to 17 July at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
It provides step-by-step guidance on the process of preparing and presenting a VNR, and includes the Secretary-General’s Voluntary Common Reporting Guidelines for VNRs.
The handbook and the guidelines both offer instructions and provide practical information on the steps that countries may take when preparing a VNR. The handbook is not exhaustive and there are many other sources of information that may further assist countries, some of which are indicated in the text.
