SDGsACT is an acronym for Sustainable Development Goals Awareness
Campaign Tour. SDGsACT is designed as a 17- month dissemination programme
that will create awareness for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa.
This will be done by taking meaningful, useful information on SDGs to all the
strata and the spectrum of the society ; to educate people in Urban and Rural communities on the activities of the
SDGs, its importance, how they can be integrated and participate in the overall
programmes of SDGs.
SDGsACT is also as a result of the United
Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development (SDGs) which will be effective
for another 15 years. SDGsAct will carry
out its activities using all the available means of communications; personal
contacts, seminars and meetings, social media engagements, both online and
offline. This will also include publications and advertising on pages of
magazines, dailies etc.
Recall that, United Nations launched what is
called Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which was effective for 15 years
(2000-2015) with 8 goals to be achieved.
MDGs were mentioned everywhere. Outside systems, they were discussed
almost never and surveys had it that they were not widely known.
For many, who knew, disbelieved the
accomplishments of these goals. The MDGs failure is given to the fact that
everyone assumed it to be a primary responsibility of the UN. In attempt to
correct the misconception, the SDGsAct aims at educating all, demystifying the
importance of accepting these goals as the responsibility of all and not the
UN, by involving the youths in Nigeria to take part in the great movement for
change and development.
Being a non-profit, non-governmental and
non- political initiative, SDGsAct aims at transmitting rich and informative
values and targets of SDGs to all and sundry, executing projects according to
the 17 SDGs and at large, engaging youths in African countries to follow suit.
In the word of Archbishop Desmond Tutu "Each one of us can make a contribution.....,
each one of us can do our little bit where we are. Those little bits can come
together and almost overwhelm the world".
Our Vision: To help imprint SDGs into the heart of
every Africans by the means of educating them; which will make them to discover
the SDG(s) that suit their innate potentials for effective realization/support
of Vision 2030.
Our Mission: To help get 1 MILLION YOUTHS to SIGN,
SUPPORT AND PARTAKE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SDGs.
Motto: TAKING SDGs to EVERYONE.

" This month has been dedicated for the awareness of Eradication of Poverty, let us recognize that extreme poverty anywhere is a threat to human security everywhere.
Let us recall that poverty is a denial of human rights.
For the first time in history, in this age of unprecedented wealth and technical prowess, we have the power to save humanity from this shameful scourge. I encourage, and beg us, Let us summon the will to do it.
Incase you don't know, let me tell you.
POVERTY IS THE PARENTS OF REVOLUTION AND CRIME.
Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
