The World Bank and International Monetary Fund will bid farewell to Millennium Development Goals or MDGs in September 2015 as Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs come in with focus on boosting service delivery, gender equity and agricultural productivity for developing countries like South Sudan.
National Legislative Assembly Public Accounts Committee Chairperson Mary Vicensio on Tuesday presented April 12-13 report on Global Parliamentary Conference in Washington DC, revealing 17 new goals of SDGs.
The goals include focusing on poverty, fragility of state, aid target, international trade reform, trade role in eradicating poverty, domestic fiscal system, environmental carbon emissions, health reforms and private sector financing.
Legislator Vicensio discloses that the new goals require keen financing on fragile states to cater for conflict affected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa which failed to benefit from Millennium Development Goals over the past 15 years.
The National Legislative Assembly on Tuesday adopted the Global Parliamentary Conference report upon presentation and deliberation by Members of the Augus House.
