It highlights the steps being taken to enhance planning systems for sustainable development through integrated, evidence-based decision-making and coordinated national strategies. Key recommendations for policymakers include strengthening institutional capacity, promoting vertical and horizontal integration, enhancing research and innovation, and fostering regional cooperation.
