7 Relationships across levels of governments National level National plans and policies with implications for local governments National SDG mechanisms that integrate local governments Sub-national level Coordination coordination Coordinated SDG plans and policies Local SDG plans and policies with potential for integration into national frameworks

8 Chapter 3 - Approaches and tools for vertical integration Alignment or integration of SDGs in sub-national plans & strategies Analytical tools to identify priorities and prepare for implementation at local level National coordination/decision making structures include LG or are multilevel Multi-level budgetary processes Localizing indicators Vertically integrated monitoring and evaluation structures Participation of local authorities in voluntary national reviews at the UN Vertically integrated oversight and auditing

9 Engagement: identifying the right stakeholders?

11 Integration in post-conflict contexts Primacy of politics and the critical importance of inclusion SDGs more difficult to achieve.. But also tools for peace Using the SDGs to align strategies and actions could help prioritize and allocate resources Critical importance of budget processes Rebuilding public administration Which levels of government to support? Potential tension Secure quick gains Restore physical and human security Alleviate extreme poverty and hunger Restore access to basic services Restart the economy Reintegrate former combatants Rebuild basic functions of the State Rule of law and justice system Protecting human rights and freedoms Executive decision-making and coordination Public revenue and expenditure management (incl. aid) Government employment and public administration Security functions Local governance Inclusion Address root causes of conflict Sustainable development (all SDGs) Address social inequality, poverty Address discrimination of certain groups Expand the economy and fiscal space Preserve the environment Optimize management of natural resources Importance of engaging minorities, women, youth

12 Messages for SAIs The three dimensions used in the report provide a robust framework for analyzing integration at the national level All play a role Can be used to analyze other SDG areas Integration difficult to measure What should be the aim? What is the benchmark? Benefits and costs of integration High level of idiosyncrasy in national institutional contexts, change over time More integration is not always synonymous with better outcomes for people E.g. migration and refugees and cross-agency/ cross-level enforcement, exchange of data E.g. tensions between national and local levels (chapters 5, 7): to some extent, irreducible (different sources of legitimacy, accountability mechanisms) Trade-off coherence / innovation Beyond institutional arrangements and formal structures, crucial role of: Strategies that take SDG linkages into account Budget processes Monitoring and evaluation systems Information, data Crucial importance of the political dimension
