SUMMARY:Call for Expressions of Interest: GFoD Civil Society Preparations for the 2026 Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs)
DESCRIPTION:The Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFOD) has actively engaged in the United Nations Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) to bring the lived experiences of marginalized populations directly to global policy discussions. Representing diverse communities across the world—including Roma\, Haratins\, Quilombola\, and caste-affected groups—GFOD’s core priority is ensuring the developmental planning of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) firmly upholds the principle of “leaving no one behind”. \nAcross the globe\, communities discriminated on work and descent (CDWD) continue to be left out of national sustainable development strategies and action plans. The attached resource documents provide a comprehensive overview of the structural barriers\, country-specific concerns\, and key advocacy entry points for the 2026 VNR cycle. \nKey Focus Areas of the 2026 Reports \nCountry-Specific Briefs: In-depth examinations of entrenched inequalities\, social stratification\, and human rights challenges across Albania\, Brazil\, Burkina Faso\, Cameroon\, Estonia\, Italy\, the Republic of Moldova\, Senegal\, and Somalia. \nSystemic Challenges: Data and perspectives detailing severe barriers to safe housing\, quality education\, decent work\, formal employment\, and adequate healthcare. \nCore Questions for Member States: A structured list of priority questions designed for governments and stakeholders to raise during the VNR process to hold countries accountable to their SDG commitments. \nActionable Recommendations: Policy-driven solutions advocating for the legal recognition of CDWD\, the collection of disaggregated data\, and the meaningful political participation of women and youth. \nExplore or download the attached PDFs below to access the full country profiles\, community-led monitoring insights\, and concrete institutional recommendations. \nREAD VNR Questions 2026 HERE \nREAD VNR Countries CDWD Questions HERE
