In 2024, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) advanced international SDG best practice through its collaboration in the Voluntary Local Review (VLR) Kendal Regency 2024, developed jointly with UCLG ASPAC, Tanoto Foundation, and the Kendal Regency Government. As the academic lead, UNDIP’s SDGs Center guided the methodology, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement process—ensuring the VLR followed UNESCAP and UN-DESA standards for SDG reporting and comparability. The collaboration exemplifies UNDIP’s leadership in aligning local SDG monitoring with global frameworks while promoting participatory, evidence-based regional policy. The VLR’s outcomes—covering climate action, education, health, and gender equality—now serve as a model of international best practice for localizing SDGs and fostering adaptive policy learning across Asia-Pacific cities.
