Answer:
Over 130 countries have produced national development plans to show their priorities for achieving SDGs.
• Many of the plans are a product of national consensus processes although some are produced mainly by technocratic elites.
• The five-year (medium-term) plan is the most popular although some countries have longer-term vision documents.
• National Planning Commissions are back and play a lead role although Economic Ministries still dominate the process.
• A majority of national plans lack financing strategies a factor that can affect the implementation and achievement of SDGs.
