    IFLA Committees and the Sustainable Development Goals
    (2023-08-11) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    There are already strong levels of awareness of the SDGs among IFLA’s volunteer groups, and over half have planned conference sessions on them or used them in action planning. As for individual SDGs, SDG4 (quality education), SDG10 (reducing inequalities) and SDG17 (partnerships for the goals) are most commonly referenced. There remains scope both to raise awareness, and build understanding of how to work with the SDGs in ways that boost the impact of IFLA’s work on wider development

    Libraries Engaged in Voluntary National Reviews — Part 1: Find out who’s in charge (2024)
    (2023-11) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    The first step towards engagement in a Voluntary National Review is to find out who is responsible for leading it. Each government needs to identify a focal point, who can both coordinate within your country, and be in contact with the United Nations. Most of the time, the name or organisation with this role will be named on the webpage for the VNRs.

    Libraries Engaged in Voluntary National Reviews — Part 3: Prepare your data
    (2023-11-03) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    The third step towards engagement in a Voluntary National Review (VNR) is to match the stories you have collected with facts and data. The 2030 Agenda includes a set of 231 indicators matching up with the different targets. A number of these, such as literacy rates and people with internet access, are highly relevant to libraries. Governments can also use their own measures in order to describe their situation.

    (2023-11-03) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    The fourth step towards engagement in a Voluntary National Review (VNR) is to present the information you have gathered – data, stories, background information – in a way that will be most effective in encouraging your government to include libraries.

    Libraries Engaged in Voluntary National Reviews: Part 5 - Engage with Decision-Makers
    (2023-11-03) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    The fifth step towards engagement in a Voluntary National Review (VNR) is to engage with decision-makers. This is very much the culmination of the work suggested in the previous three parts – preparing stories, data and facts, and presenting things effectively. It is also a crucial one, given that in the end, the success of advocacy is measured in how far you manage to change the minds and actions of those in power.

    (2023-11-03) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    The eighth step towards successful engagement in a Voluntary National Review (VNR) is to prepare for the High-Level Political Forum at which Reviews will be presented. There is still plenty of uncertainty about how things will work in 2022, and whether in-person participation will be possible. However, after two years of practice, opportunities for online participation have been improved, meaning more people can join more easily.

    Libraries in Voluntary National Reviews 2023
    (2023-07-18) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
    This report updates our analysis of the inclusion of libraries in Voluntary National Reviews of implementation of the SDGs in 2023. The year has been a record one for the share of Reviews referencing libraries, and continues to show the breadth of contribution that our institutions make, although also scope for other countries to do more in recognising this. Ireland is this year's stand-out example, with the Maldives, Canada and Poland also providing very strong examples.
