Colombia’s Child-Led Voluntary National Review 2024

This study examines the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Colombia through the perspectives of children and adolescents. Aligned with the 2030 Agenda, the research aimed to assess the government’s commitment to the SDGs and the inclusion of children’s voices in the national review process. Using a unique methodology, a Children’s Scorecard, young participants from various regions rated the government’s performance on SDG principles using a happy-sad face scale. The insights gathered reflect their lived experiences and perceptions of SDG fulfilment. The study offers a child-centred view of Colombia’s SDG progress, identifying strengths and areas for improvement to ensure no child is left behind.
