OUR TEAM
HOW SDG ARISE?
The core idea is to set clear goals,
to help orient the behavior of governments, of businesses, of each of us as citizens, as students, as researchers, as activists, as consumers, so that we’re pointed in a shared direction. This is the idea of goal-based development, and I always think of the wonderful observation of a great American leader, President John F. Kennedy, when he talked about the importance of setting clear goals to help move a society forward. He said that “By defining our goal more clearly, by making it seem more manageable and less remote, we help all people to see it, to draw hope from it, and to move irresistibly toward it.”

The SDG Fund incorporated several relevant changes:
- Greater participation of the private sector and improved public-private sector partnerships.
- A better selection of UN Agencies involved.Limiting the number of participating UN Agencies per programme to 4.
- Better mainstreaming of gender equality and women´s empowermentand integrating of environment sensitivity into future programmes. These 2 key areas are cross-cutting priorities that all programmes need to fulfill in their formulation.
- Engagement of local stakeholders.This is a key ingredient in designing and implementing programmes which target the most disadvantaged.
- Co-financing through national and international partners.Matching funds of national governments, international donors and the private sector will increase programme sustainability. See details of our financial information here.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index 2020:
The SDG Index evaluates the performance of the countries on the 17 SDGs which were agreed by the international community in 2015 with equal weight to all 17 goals. The score achieved by each country indicates its position between the worst (0) and the best or target (100) outcomes. Similarly in previous editions, three Nordic countries topped the 2020 SDG Index: Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. India has been ranked 117th in the index with overall score of 61.92.
According to the report, every country has a “red” score on at least one SDG in the dashboards. Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Cambodia are the three countries that have progressed the most in terms of the SDG Index score while the three countries that have declined the most are Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and the Republic of the Congo.
Sustainable Development Goals in India
From India’s point of view, Sustainable Development Goals need to bring together development and environment into a single set of targets. The fault line, as ever in global conferences, is the inappropriate balance between environment and development…we could also view the SDGs and the post 2015 agenda as an opportunity for revisiting and fine-tuning the MDG framework and sustainably regaining focus on developmental issues.”
Need of Sustainable Development in India
This admission is of course an understatement. All available indicators point to the ecological situation being nothing short of disastrous. Natural ecosystems are under stress and decline across most of the country; some 10 per cent of the country’s wildlife is threatened with extinction; agricultural biodiversity has declined by over 90 per cent in many regions;
India has played an important role in shaping the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This has meant that the country’s national development goals are mirrored in the SDGs. As such, India has been effectively committed to achieving the SDGs even before they were fully crystallized. As one of the countries that has volunteered to take part in the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2017, India appreciates the focus on ‘Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world’.
