Throughout our work in the Americas, we have been committed to several cross-cutting goals, many of which are mirrored in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Also known as the Global Goals, the SDGs have provided the world with a common framework to tackle our greatest challenges. Part of the larger 2030 Agenda, the SDGs aim to eradicate poverty and hunger, address climate change, and close the gender inequality gap once and for all. They have also provided useful targets to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of each goal.

The success of the SDGs will rely on people working together, across borders, cultures, faiths, and ideological lines. MI Americas is committed to the SDGs and our work addresses several of them throughout out programs in the Western Hemisphere.

SDG 3 – Good Health & Well-being – aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”.

In situations in which access to basic social services are limited, as is the case for many vulnerable and poor communities, our programs are designed to comprehensively address their most urgent needs.

 

 

 

SDG 2 – Zero Hunger – aims to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”.

SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals – seeks to “strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development”.
