• Sustainability - often defined as meeting the
needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet theirs
• It has three main pillars:
 Economic, Environmental and Social

SDGs & Welfare
• Welfare - the health, happiness, and fortunes of a person or group
• Three indicators in measuring welfare:
 Health, Education and Income - (HEI)
• HEI – measured as an Index (Human Development
Index-HDI), thus used to measure Welfare
• HDI:
 Health: A long and healthy life (Life expectancy at birth)
 Educational attainment: enrolment rates (adult literacy, primary to
tertiary)
 Standard of living: real per-capita income measured at PPP
Variables combined in a composite index (0 to 1) to compare economies

SDGs & Ghana Devt. Agenda
• Integration of the SDGs into Ghana’s development
agenda is reflected in the country’s Coordinated
Programme of Economic and Social Development Polices
(CPESDP), 2017-2024
• Progress has been varied across the SDGs so far
• However, to accelerate progress and increase efficiency
in achieving the SDGs require following:
1. Identifying bankable SDGs projects
2. Strengthening local government capacity
3. Financing business case development of SDGs projects through philanthropic
activities as well as enhancing private sector engagement
4. Strengthening research and improving linkages between research institutions
government, civil society and the private sector
5. Effective mainstreaming in national development of issues related to children
