World Vision and the SDGs - what have we learned?

Greetings Community!

In 2016, World Vision pledged to invest $3 billion over four years as our contribution to achieving the maternal and child health targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. Over the past year, we achieved almost a fifth of this commitment and, as result, millions of mothers and children have received health services, and thousands of communities are empowered to take greater control of their own health and nutrition outcomes.

This review is written to reflect on what we have accomplished over 12 months, but it also offers insights on areas of best practice and what we have learned. Please have a read and let us know what you think. Agree? Disagree? Our experts would love to hear from you.
