Monitoring and reporting
• Follow-up monitoring mechanism a continuously evolving
process to reinforce partnerships and mutual accountability
• LLDCs should identify indicators to monitor progress in
implementing the VPoA.
• Regular National reviews and reporting involving all
stakeholders – annual inputs to the global Report of the
Secretary General
• Regional Reviews and reporting should be informed by the
National Reviews – done by the UNECA.
• Global Reviews should take into account Regional and Sub
Regional Reviews and National inputs.
• UN-OHRLLS working on a set of indicators for monitoring the
VPoA
• In 5 years there will be a mid-term review of the VPoA – all
LLDCs will be called upon to submit a mid-term report on the
implementation of VPoA
UN-OHRLLS

assessment of progress
towards the implementation of
the VPoA

states
National Report prepared
by the Country
Objective  provide an
assessment of the progress
towards the implementation of
the VPoA, raise awareness,
advocate; address areas of
need

National level Selection of the indicators for
Monitoring the VPoA
Based on:
• VPoA priorities being implemented
• Data availability,
• Frequency of data collection
• Data accuracy/quality of the data
• Harmonization and rationalization of the
development indicators with data required for
the other processes eg. National development
plan, SDGs etc.
• Collaboration with relevant agencies in data
compilation

• Agenda 2063
UN-OHRLLS
In addition
• Monitor and review the relevant national
actions under each priority area
• Prepare national report – annual, mid-term
review and comprehensive 10 year review
