FOTZC Supports Tanzania’s Sustainable Development Goals
In a developing nation, priorities are far different than they might be in a developed nation. As partners in Tanzania, we see our role as listening to the goals the country is setting for itself, collaborating with them, and then acting to help achieve those goals.
In 2015, The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it lays out build on the principle of “leaving no one behind,” emphasizing a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development for all.
Focus on Tanzanian Communities works on four of these SDGs: Good Health & Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, and Clean Water & Sanitation.
FOTZC works with our partner communities to help achieve these four specific Sustainable Development Goals:
-
- By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age. By 2030, combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases
- By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being
