The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) is pleased to launch the SDG.Guide “Getting Started with the SDGs”. Available as an online resource and a booklet, this guide aims to help stakeholders, including national and local governments, businesses, academia and civil society, understand the 2030 Agenda, start an inclusive dialogue on SDG implementation, and prepare SDG-based national development strategies.
The guide offers practical suggestions for how to get started with implementing the 2030 Agenda, including how to measure current performance and how to prepare a roadmap for the design of SDG strategies. It also includes tools to support the design of sector- and goal-based strategies to achieve the SDGs.
The guide is currently available in English. Translations into Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, and possibly other languages are expected in early 2016. A Google translation function is available on the SDG.Guide website.
We hope you will find this resource useful and . These will inform subsequent versions of the guide.
