This document presents the summary report on the Sustainable Development Goals for the North Africa subregion. The report was prepared within the framework of the Africa consultations on the post-2015 development agenda and the post Rio+20 follow-up processes. The report highlights the importance of themes not covered by the Millennium Development Goals at the subregional level and which are crucial to the achievement of the sustainable development goals, such as governance, corruption, climate change, green economy, employment and regional disparities. It identifies 4 global goals, 36 targets and 54 indicators. These are compared with programming priorities and matrices defined through a consultative approach in other subregions. The report identifies a certain number of risks which could undermine attainment of the goals and makes recommendations to prevent the failure of such an exercise. These recommendations include: (i) strengthening national data production and analysis systems; (ii) capacity-building to ensure greater ownership of the sustainable development goals and the systemic approach underpinning them; (iii) conduct of training and information campaigns on the green economy (sustainable development approach, principles, tools and benefits); (iv) mobilization of financial means, including internally; and (v) stakeholder coordination.
