“Status quo of SDGs in Afghanistan and express the future plan of MoE related to SDGs”

There are few challenges that exist in implementation of the SDGs. The first one is the lack of data and accurate figures and statistics available to track the progress of the SDGs targets and goals. The second challenge that exists is that some of the nationally prioritized

programs at some government units are not based on the National SDGs. The third challenge is that five of the Nationally Prioritized Programs do not have an implementation plan. And finally the lack of budget for the achievement of the SDGs in Afghanistan is another major challenge.

The next steps are:

1. To prepare a 10-year strategy for the implementation of the ASDGs in Afghanistan;
2. To prepare a financial strategic for the implementation of the ASDGs in Afghanistan;
3. To Localize the process of the A-SDGs in sub-national level;
4. Align A-SDGs with national development frameworks;
5. Align the A-SDGs with national budget plan;
6. Invent mechanisms for Monitoring and Reporting of the ASDGs progress.
