Antigua and Barbuda presented its first Voluntary National Report under the theme “Build Forward Stronger” reporting on all seventeen goals under the five Ps approach (people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership). Cognizant that sustainable development can only be achieved through an all-inclusive and integrative approach, we undertook efforts to consult with our stakeholders across the country with inclusivity being the guiding principle of the VNR process. The process was conducted under very uncertain and challenging times considering the ongoing protracted COVID 19 pandemic. This reality rendered traditional ways of face-to-face engagements and gathering of information impossible. Therefore, effective approaches in line with our national COVID 19 protocols had to be explored and utilised to produce a quality report. The VNR process for Antigua and Barbuda was headed by the International Trade Unit within the Ministry of Foreign  Affairs and its two-member team sought to undertake several internal measures to facilitate the successful process.
