- AOA Supports The UN-SDGs -
Following the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) last year, the United Nations has launched a new set of global goals to replace the MDGs; the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). We the Ambassadors of Africa, therefore, proudly support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
The SDGs are a new, universal set of goals, targets and indicators that UN member states will be expected to use to frame their agendas and political policies over the next 15 years starting from September, 2015. These 17 new SDGs are:
1) End poverty in all its forms everywhere
2) End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
3) Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
4) Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
5) Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
6) Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
7) Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
8) Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all
9) Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and foster innovation
10) Reduce inequality within and among countries
11) Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
12) Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
13) Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
14) Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
15) Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss
16) Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
17) Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development
Our projects as an organization will be linked to these goals and we shall continue to contribute our quota towards making the world a better place. Our members and teams across the continent are now charged with the responsibility of developing and implementing programs and projects that will bring about transformation in their communities, nation and the world at large.
We are the Ambassadors of Africa...
We are building Africans into global giants!
