SOCIAL AUDITS, COMMUNITY SCORE CARDS AND CITIZEN REPORT CARDS
By localizing SDG 16 oversight mechanisms and creating pathways for citizens to monitor progress towards the SDGs from local to global levels, stakeholders can obtain more reflective data to measure progress in reaching marginalized communities while fostering ownership and promoting local delivery of the SDGs in the process
High-quality, accessible, timely, disaggregated and open data and statistics are essential in order to measure and monitor progress towards peaceful, just and inclusive societies
Civil society reports, or spotlight reports, serve as an important mechanism for holding national governments accountable for making progress on their commitments
Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) can provide insight into SDG16+ implementation, promote inclusive and meaningful multi-stakeholder participation and advance and accelerate implementation of the SDG16+ agenda
USING INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND LABOUR STANDARDS MECHANISMS
International monitoring mechanisms play a key role in monitoring, reviewing and making recommendations on the implementation of human rights and labour standards that are essential to achieve peaceful, just and inclusive societies
National Human Rights Institutions can play a key role in advancing peaceful, just and inclusive societies through their core functions and other actions that support the SDGs
Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) can play a critical role in advancing several SDG16+ targets and in holding governments accountable for overall SDG16+ implementation
