- 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 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.
