UN General Assembly
2016

The hopes sparked by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are immense. Nevertheless, we must move from commitments to action and implementation. The major challenges are the redistribution of investments, improving social justice and translating international commitments into national strategies and political action. Human development, environmental protection and inclusive economies are the triptych that structures the SDGs. They align with our national development plan. In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, Madagascar is promoting social protection. This year, we formulated and implemented a national policy in that regard. By way of example, we provide income supplements for the poorest households to support the integration of children into the school system and to improve their nutrition through school cafeterias.
