“…It identified four approaches through which INTOSAI and SAIs can participate in the achievement of the SDGs, namely, (1) evaluate member states' readiness (2) audit performance (3) participate in achievement and (4) prospects towards best practices (22 nd INCOSAI Report). Yonehara et al (2017) argued that the achievement of SDGS relies mainly on practice-based monitoring and evaluation. Earlier, Bamberger et al (2016) argued that instead of delaying it 2030, one should periodically review and audit the implementation process of goals and policies.…”

“…Since the process of monitoring and evaluation in the first-phase is crucial as stakeholders are rushing towards the development and implementation of SDGs. Yonehara et al (2017) re-conceptualizes the developmental matters of each phase and divided the SDGs program into three phases (table 1). Since the first phase has been concluded successfully, so one of the significant steps at this stage has been identified as performing an analysis of the preparedness level which will help in identifying the structural gaps and shortcomings while ensuring the development of coherent and well-versed programs in the future.…”

“…Since the first phase has been concluded successfully, so one of the significant steps at this stage has been identified as performing an analysis of the preparedness level which will help in identifying the structural gaps and shortcomings while ensuring the development of coherent and well-versed programs in the future. Referring to work of Yonehara et al (2017) and table 1, once SDG related programs, the analysis has identified a dire need of developing a stringent and robust monitoring system to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and economy of the projects. This calls for the development and testing of monitoring and evaluation frameworks so that results can be substantiated.…”

This paper aims to perform an in-depth analysis of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have been implemented by the United Nations in the year 2015. The research is based on performing an audit of the design and structured framework in order to understand the level of its successful implementation along with highlighting the grey areas and potential threats which require a proactive and strategic move. All the presentations and discussions which happened in the 15th General Auditing Bureau (GAB) Annual Seminar, being held in Saudi Arabia in the year 2018, have been assessed and evaluated to draw a conclusion. This study has adopted an exploratory paradigm which is termed as interpretivism followed by qualitative research and analysis approach where secondary data set has been used. The main sources of data were the deliberations and discussions of the GAB seminar along with relevant information sources concerning SDGs such as the UN reports and recommendations of other conferences coupled with symposia on the subject. There are certain limitations of the study which include limited availability of literature which weakens the theoretical foundation of the subject of the present research. The analysis of the data set has revealed the presence of institutional and professional preparedness intending the smooth implementation of SDGs. However, analysis of the discussion on the seminar has highlighted specific gaps which might challenge the efficacy of the program and hence requires a necessary action.

“…Given rapid and dynamic global change, human well-being is dependent on social-ecological resilience for adaptive capacity and sustainability (Folke et al 2003). Despite the existence of many conceptual assessment frameworks and models (e.g., Folke 2006;Walker and Salt 2006), localization, downscaling, and customization of resilience assessments to suit a local context is one of the key challenges for evaluating sustainable development, due to gaps and mismatches between theory-driven indicators and local conditions (Yonehara et al 2017). Rapid expansion of the sharing paradigm is one of the important socio-economic contexts to be considered for resilience and sustainability assessments.…”

Sharing of resources, goods, services, experiences and knowledge is one of the fundamental practices that has been widely embedded in human nature. With the advance of information and communication technology, the realm of sharing has expanded drastically, which has led to the evolution of the 'sharing paradigm'. In spite of the increasing attention on the new sharing phenomenon and its potential contribution to a sustainable and resilient society, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of varied sharing practices in the context of sustainability and resilience. This study maps out the academic landscape of sharing studies and examines what and how we share by a systematic literature review. Based on the review of 297 peer-reviewed papers, we explore the features of varied sharing practices identified in academia. We also discuss research gaps in sharing paradigm studies and the potential contribution of sharing to building sustainable and resilient societies. Our results show regional and sectoral imbalances in the sharing studies. The findings also illustrate that sharing of manufactured goods and accommodations, and access-based sharing with monetary compensation via intermediaries such as online platforms are predominant. Our evaluation provides a bird's-eye view of existing sharing studies and practices, enabling the discovery of new opportunities for sustainable and resilient societies.

“…Monitoring progress towards the SDGs and its targets is critical, and the urgency of taking action from the current unsustainable path to the desired sustainable development cannot be emphasised enough . This calls for academia and the scientific community to act expediently and all over the world.…”
