The seventeen sustainable development goals adopted at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last year, September 2015, aim to make a better world over the next 15 years. A number of goals were agreed by the world leaders which provide a pathway to reinforce commitments and prepare actions toward ending poverty and stabilizing peace on the planet.

Placing importance on the global commitments and responsibilities at country level, the Ministry of Planning has taken the lead in reviewing and discussing the foregoing agenda with relevant ministries, using the existing national technical working group mechanism. In stepping up this critical momentum and realizing the connection between SDGs and people, UNFPA has strongly supported the localization process of SDG into the Cambodia’s priorities.
