UGANDA AND SDG'S 2030 AGENDA

As young leaders of tomorrow, it is pivotal that youth are informed and engaged with the global vision for the future. Over the next eleven years, youth will not only directly experience the outcomes of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and plans, but will also be the implementation. For this reason, it is vital to raise awareness about the recently adopted 17 SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development among the youth, build a platform for discussion, and create the condition for active engagement.This book thus explores SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for a youth perspective. It introduces the concept of sustainable Development and outlines its historical development through the transition from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also discusses how youth can be harnessed as a major agent of change in achieving sustainable Development focusing on several pertinent youth issues in Uganda and the whole world, and concludes with the UN systems and its regional aim, explaining their role in the successful implementation of SDGs.
