Abstract:

This study aims to thoroughly examine the process of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) localization within Suryabinayak Municipality. By drawing on a comprehensive range of published secondary sources and engaging in discussions with Municipality Officials, this research provides valuable insights into the current status of SDG localization. It highlights some of the expenditure details of the municipality in relation to this endeavor. Moreover, the study offers significant recommendations for enhancing SDG localization efforts. It emphasizes the importance of simplifying the global and national SDG framework for local implementation, with local governments taking ownership of the process. The primary focus of SDG localization is to promote ownership, participation, and targeted approaches, ultimately leading to more sustainable and inclusive development outcomes.
