The commitment to achieving equal social welfare improvement is high on the development agenda throughout the world. This commitment is summarized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets. The main targets include eliminating poverty and hunger in any forms and dimensions, achieving equality, and tackling climate change.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are recognized as the global development agenda with a wider and more inclusive mandate than the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which ended in 2015. The SDGs differed to the MDGs as the latter were formulated by experts from member states of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and some international institutions.
