MetaGov: A Comprehensive Governance Solution for Sustainable Development

The platform is embedded with tools that enable the management of the whole collaborative and multilevel assessment process of policy efforts towards SDGs. Click on the tabs to learn more about this process

Includes the identification and mapping of stakeholders, the creation of oversight and executive committees, budgeting & costing, the decision on support tools to be used, the planning of the assessment, the assignment of tasks to project assessment team members

A collaborative assessment project is used as means to engage effectively with stakeholdes at all levels of governance around MetaGovernance platform. This collaboration helps to breaking the silos approach in policy making, strengthens the process trasparency and creates a common ownership of Agenda 2030

This process helps government ministries complete their own evidence-based assessment of SDG progress. The assessment evaluates the National / Sectoral progress across its SDG targets and corresponding indicators which were selected through an expert-driven, consultative process. MetaGovernance uses a novel approach combining several contemporary methods to produce a comprehensive assessment of sectoral progress on the SDGs. The assessment process maintains the integrity of the SDG framework and a clear linkage to official targets and indicators, while also having regard for national & sectoral priorities and relevance.  

Large assessment are deconstructed into numerous sub-assessments that can be conducted by multi-level stakeholders resulting in numerous sub-reports that are then synthesised collaboratively in a sectoral Progress draft report that is internally reviewed before submission to the Center of Government. The collection of all sectoral reports would constitute the National SDG Progress Reports that is then submitted to relevant parliamentary commission for input and review before its final amendment and sharing with stakeholders and with relevant multilateral organisation (such as APRM, HLPF, ..)

The ultimate objective of the MetaGovernance process is to improve policy making based on the evidence found in the assessments which are expressed in terms of clear policy recommendations paper. After insuring that such recommendations are coherent, an analysis on the enabling factros is conducted to insure that the proposal is technically sound, the implementation is financially reasonable, politically acceptable and will enjoy the public consent. Once the recommendation gets the green light from the decison maker, an action officer / unit is assigned and action plan is developed, Finally, the implementation of the recommendation is imonitored

 Monitoring policy development and implementation is an integral component of the policy cycle. In the context of Multi-level governance, the challenge is how to strike a balance between various stakeholders who can influence the movement of policy from inception to implementation. MetaGovernance Platfom helps documenting the whole policy cycle and input from involved stakeholders
