“…A majority of SDG adopters report their outcome and impact indicators using official country data, compared to 29% of development partners that have not adopted the SDGs yet (Table 3.3). This difference is significant and consistent with other comparable country studies recently carried out by the OECD in Peru, Samoa and Uganda (Guerrero-Ruiz, Kirby and Schnatz, 2021 [41]; Guerrero-Ruiz, Sachin and Schnatz, 2021 [42]; Guerrero-Ruiz, Kirby and Sachin, 2021 [43]).…”

“…Such adaptive practices include the use of management approaches that stress the ability to anticipate, react and correct actions as the context changes. This finding echoes similar findings in other OECD country case studies (Guerrero-Ruiz, Kirby and Schnatz, 2021 [41]; Guerrero-Ruiz, Sachin and Schnatz, 2021 [42]; Guerrero-Ruiz, Schnatz and Verger, 2021 [38]; Guerrero-Ruiz, Kirby and Sachin, 2021 [43]). During project preparation, almost all SDG adopters (95%) are required to carry out context-sensitivity analysis to ensure the design of a fitting results framework (Table 2.1).…”

Achieving sustainable and resilient societies everywhere is the defining challenge of the 21st century. Realising that ambition, made concrete in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), requires the international development community to work more closely together. Indeed, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the community will need to collaborate in ways that lead to an inclusive recovery and to systemic transformation.Can the framework for the SDGs, with its 169 targets and 232 indicators, be used at the country level as a shared framework for results by development co-operation actors? If governments and their international partners can incorporate the SDG framework in useful ways into their planning and policy or project design, efforts will be less fragmented and better aligned. Interventions will reinforce each other and account for possible synergies and trade-offs. By using SDG-aligned indicators to monitor the results and impact of their efforts, stakeholders can report on their respective contributions, hold each other accountable, learn about what works and better co-ordinate their decisions. However, reaping these benefits will first require that all partners collectively align to the SDGs.In response to a request by the DAC Results Community in 2019 for guidance on these matters, the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate has undertaken a series of case studies exploring the use of the SDGs in various development contexts. This report describes Bangladesh's experience. Its findings and lessons can be applied to other international norms and frameworks, such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. This work contributes to the broader OECD effort to improve the alignment and contribution of development co-operation towards the SDGs.
