„What we are trying to do with the Gender Action Plan is to develop more concrete ways in which this basic idea that the whole of society benefits when everybody has equal access can be incorporated in more and more of the programmes that we actually do.“
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, Oslo, October 2006.
The first UN Sustainable Development Goal is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere.
In order to achieve gender equality, it is necessary to empower women and girls.
Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals will require good governance – from the local to the global level.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals aim to transform economies in an environmentally sound manner, leaving no one behind.
