Developing a Prototype SDG Voluntary Local Review (VLR) Tool Tailored for Philippine Local Governments
Soleil Erika Manzano
[Program Officer of Special Projects Programs, Project and Policy Department of Quezon City, The Philippines]
This course project aims to develop a prototype SDG voluntary local review (VLR) tool tailored for Philippine local governments, specifically cities. A unique feature will include a human rights lens to probe if the entire review process employed a human rights-based approach. This course project will focus on one specific goal that the pilot city/ies are prioritizing.

In the long term, the prototype tool can become the reference tool of cities in conducting VLRs independently. The experiences of Philippine cities in the VLRs will be gathered and documented and will be included in the League’s database. More importantly, this course project will catalyze the League’s SDG and human rights portfolio strengthening in the League’s agenda, which can be further promoted in the upcoming 2022 administration. The creation of the SDG and human rights portfolios will be a first in the history of the League.
