Accomplishing the ambitious targets of the 2030 agenda will require a revamped global partnership bringing together governments, the private sector, civil society, the United Nations network and other contributors to mobilize available resources. In addition, bolstering support to developing countries, with a focus on the least developed countries, best enables equitable progress for all.
While these global challenges can seem daunting and overwhelming, there are many practical ways you can be a part of the solution. Beyond making monetary donations to trusted organizations combating poverty, there are other ways to help which don’t cost a thing. Raising awareness, for example, can help shape policymaking and support transformational change in people’s lives and in communities.
To make these bold changes, it will mean helping the world’s most vulnerable people groups, increasing access to basic resources and services, and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-related disasters.This may seem daunting, but we have already made huge strides since the MDGs were put in place and together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the extreme poor.
