Background:

The Republic of Djibouti is a small multi-ethnic nation of 940,000 inhabitants. The country has experienced exceptional economic growth in recent years. The country has experienced exceptional economic growth in recent years by leveraging the country strategic location near the world's busiest shipping lanes and close to Arabian oilfields. The member of the League of Arab States (Arab League) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is among the top 10 performers in the GDP growth. GDP growth in 2018 is estimated at 7 percent reflecting an acceleration from the estimated 6.5 percent in 2016. Djibouti has a mixed economic system which includes a variety of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning and government regulation. The economy has a dual aspect: on the one hand, it has a modern sector based on revenues from ports and military bases leased by foreign countries; on the other hand, it has a large informal sector

Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, the Republic of Djibouti has taken several steps to support its implementation. The 'SCAPE', the development plan based on 'Djibouti Vision 2035', ends in 2019. In December 2016, UNDP carried out a multidisciplinary assistance mission to develop a roadmap for ownership, integration and implementation in Djibouti of the SDGs. Among other conclusions, that mission recommended to reinforce the capacities of the UNCT and the government on SDG related knowledge and processes, including the elaboration of the VNR. 

A second sustainable development plan, based on the SDGs, is being developed. The Government requested UN support to develop the plan and ensure not only a full alignment with the SDGs, but also a full 'buy in' among the state and other development actors. The level of appropriation and knowledge of the SDG and the agenda 2030 is still limited, hence the need to support the government (and particularly the Ministry of finance and MOFA – who are leading the process) to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach, and for a whole of the UN system coordinated support to the exercise.
