The Sustainable Development Goals

In September of 2015, world leaders met at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda is an ambitious plan for eliminating poverty, fighting inequality and injustice, and ensuring lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources. At the core of this plan is a set of seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals that are designed to make this transformational vision of the world a reality.

A United Nations report on the status of the 2030 Agenda found that one in eight of the world’s population live in extreme poverty, nearly 800 million people suffer from hunger, 1.1 billion people live without electricity, and water scarcity affects more than 2 billion people. The UN Report also highlights the following challenges facing the people of sub-Saharan Africa:

Almost half the world’s population is at risk of malaria, and sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 89 percent of all cases.*
89%
More than 30 percent of people do not have access to improved drinking water sources, and more than 70 percent do not have access to improved sanitation facilities.
70%
Over 65 percent of the population do not have access to electricity.
65%
More than 40 percent of people live on less than $US 1.90 a day
40%
More than half of the adult population face moderate or severe food insecurity
50%
36 percent of children under the age of 5 suffer from chronic undernutrition, resulting in stunting​
36%

*The incidence of HIV is highest in sub-Saharan Africa, with 1.5 new cases per 1,000 uninfected people

There is little question that the people of sub-Saharan Africa have been disproportionately impacted by the problems the 2030 Agenda seeks to resolve.
