The role of evaluation in achieving the SDGs
Abstract This paper proposes a framework on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) evaluation, arguing that attainment of the 17 goals and 169 related targets depends significantly on practice-based monitoring and evaluation. The SDGs’ 15-year time frame can helpfully be divided into three 5-year phases: a planning phase driven by proactive evaluation and evaluability assessment, an improvement phase characterized by formative evaluation and monitoring, and a completion phase involving outcome and impact evaluations. Under these phases, in order not to miss the SDGs’ fundamental philosophy of “no one left behind,” local relevance must be considered when evaluating SDG programs, particularly to capture the overarching concepts applicable across the 17 goals, such as educational dynamics and resilience.
