Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. SDG-16 explicitly recognises the importance and role of effective political institutions and processes to achieve development outcomes, sustainable peace and stability.
