In September 2015, the global community agreed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), setting out new development priorities for all countries, post-2015.

Seventeen new goals have been identified that integrate global ambitions on tackling poverty, reducing inequality, combating climate change, and protecting ecosystems including oceans, forests and biodiversity. It is an ambitious and universal agenda.

Training on Transforming MDGs to

Sustainable Development Goals – 2030

The training on Transforming MDGs to SDGs aims to help stakeholders, including communities to governments with participative approach at all levels (national, regional, and local), to understand the SDG Agenda, to start an inclusive dialogue on SDG implementation, and to prepare SDG-based development strategies (or align existing plans and strategies with the goals). It draws upon lessons learned from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and proposes guiding principles to help communities navigate the SDG Agenda. This training is the reflection of the universality of the SDG Agenda by recognizing countries' different starting points.
