The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Catch-Up Plan assesses the region’s progress in achieving the SDGs, highlighting key performance trends, implementation challenges, and strategic opportunities for improvement. It outlines targeted initiatives and a structured mechanism for implementing and monitoring the Plan to ensure effective execution.
The Plan prioritizes accelerating progress on lagging or regressing indicators, as identified in the Philippine Statistics Authority’s SDG Pace of Progress report. Key focus areas include reversing alarming trends in malnutrition, non-communicable diseases, and fatalities from disasters and road crashes. Additionally, the Plan aims to enhance household and individual income levels to support overall socio-economic growth.
