World Vision Response to UN Zero Draft

World Vision welcomes the zero draft of ‘Transforming our World by 2030 – A new Agenda for Global Action.’ It is in many respects an encouraging attempt to communicate the ambition of the Sustainable Development Goals, and to focus attention on some essential elements needed for success. 

 

However the draft fails to convince that it is truly committed to assuring that “no one will be left behind”. Although the Sustainable Development Goals themselves contain many targets that aim to reach the most vulnerable people, the text of the zero draft statement is not people centred, let alone child centred.
