1. Where does the initiative stand?
Almost half way through first 1000 days…
• There has been progress in SDG implementation
• But speed of progress needs to be stepped up
• Slower take up at local level
• Some programmes seeking to help with this
Examples of
initiatives:
localzing.org
UNSDSN Cities
Guide; US cities
SDG Index
ODI Projecting
Progress
odi.org/cities-
scorecard
2. Examples of what cities are doing
• Mapping assessments of targets and indicators
(e.g. Medellin c.70% of indicators for relevant SDGs)
• Implementation plans (e.g. Medellin holding
consultations with wider stakeholders this year)
“The SDGs provide an opportunity to inform policy & priorities
using evidence rather than short-term political interests”
Interview with local government official
3. Some of the challenges
• Feasibility/relevance/prioritisation of targets
• Complexity of monitoring framework and
availability of data/analytical capacities
• Institutional challenges and finance
(working across-sectors; government levels)

4. Entry points for DeLoG:
Points for discussion
• 2018: opportunity as countries report on SDG 11
• Raising awareness/exchanging knowledge on early

• Provide examples of good practice/evidence on
key issues for implementers
