Uganda reaffirms her commitment to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in its entirety and to achieving 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as we commence the decade of action and delivery of Sustainable Development. We have realized now more than ever, the urgent need to accelerate our progress towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda as a pillar in our national response to the multifaceted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as we build back better and strive to achieve the overarching 2030 Agenda goal of eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions. The COVID-19 reinforces the pre-existing obstacles to realizing the Goals, structural inequalities, gaps, systematic challenges and risks. We firmly believe that the successful implementation of our Third National Development Plan (NDP III) under the theme “Sustainable industrialization for inclusive growth, employment and wealth creation” is critical in achieving 17 SDGs.
