The “Benin Sustainable Development Report 2023” is the second in a series of reports produced as part of the partnership between the Government of Benin and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) (box 1). This edition was prepared by the SDSN’s newly created SDG Transformation Centre.

This report aims to present the performance and trends of the SDGs in Benin, as well as an analysis of its policies to achieve them through the “Six Transformations” framework (Sachs et al. 2019). In a poly-crisis context (consequences of COVID-19, geopolitical instabilities and climate change) where the world is no longer making progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Sachs et al. 2023), Benin faces the challenge of pursuing its economic and social development while ensuring that no one is left behind.
