17.14 Enhance policy coherence for sustainable development

Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

‘Policy coherence of sustainable development’ has been interpreted as the coherence between policies in general that cover the dimensions of sustainable development.

This indicator is a composite indicator that covers mechanisms related to:

1. Institutionalization of political commitment;
2. Long-term considerations in decision-making;
3. Interdepartmental and intersectoral coordination;
4. Participatory processes;
5. Linkage of the three dimensions of sustainable development, policy impact assessment, and their interconnection;
6. Alignment between levels of government;
7. Monitoring and reporting on policy alignment;
8. Financial resources for policy coherence.

Each of the 8 domains is scored on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means that none of the required mechanisms have been implemented, and 10 means that all required mechanisms have been established. Then, for each country, the percentage of points out of a total of 80 points is calculated.

National data are collected through the UNEP questionnaire on the mechanism in place to improve the coherence of sustainable development policies.
