SOUTH AFRICA
2019 VOLUNTARY NATIONAL REVIEW (VNR)
OPENING STATEMENT
"We can in fact change the word and make of it a better place."
Nelson Mandela The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015 signalled the universal commitment of the world's leaders together to confront challenges that must be successfully overcome if humankind is to survive on this planet. From our own experience as South Africans, we fully appreciate the significance of a common cause that unites diverse people to successfully defeat even the otherwise most intimidating of human challenges and adversity. For it was with similar solidarity and support from the international community that South Africa was freed from the yoke of apartheid in 1994. Apartheid was an atrocious, anti-human and anti-development political system that the world, through the United Nations declared a crime against humanity, and whose scars still linger in the socio economic fabric of now democratic South Africa.
South Africa's first Voluntary National Review (VNR) is testimony to the national commitment to the full and integrated implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The National Development Plan (NDP): Vision 2030 ? "Our future, make it work, was adopted in 2012, as South Africa`s development loadstar and roadmap. It predated the 2015 adoption of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 - "The Africa we want". The NDP has a 74% convergence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and prioritises job creation, the elimination of poverty, the reduction of inequality and growing an inclusive economy by 2030.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of these complementary aspirations and developmental agendas, South Africa has recently established a national coordinating mechanism for national engagements and reporting on the 2030 Agenda, the AU's Agenda 2063 and the Southern African Development Community's (SADC) Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP), in alignment with the NDP. This national coordinating mechanism will ensure that national resources are optimally deployed, together with international support, the provision of public sector finance,
