Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 16 & 17)
What does the assigned SDG aim to achieve? o Summarize its key goals and objectives.
All the members of United Nations adopted a framework in September 25-27, 2015 called
Sustainable Development Goals or SDG. It is an expansive global framework of universal objectives and
ambitions, all aimed at bettering the lives and well-being of people across the world because it is a people-
centered set of goals and targets. It outlines sustainable development that focuses on social, economic,
and environmental issues. It serves as a long-term roadmap for sustainable development planned to last
over a period of 15 years and is expected to be fully implemented by 2030. SDG consists of 17 goals and
169 associated targets, addressing major challenges facing humanity, such as poverty, inequality, climate
change, and environmental degradation, peace and justice.
In these goals and targets, the SDG sets out a groundbreaking and transformative vision that addresses
major challenges in the world. Their goal is to eradicate poverty, hunger, disease, where all life can thrive.

protected, consumption and production patterns are sustainable, and everyone will experience economic
growth and a decent work. Where human rights, dignity, equality, and sexuality is respected. Where
humanity co-exists harmoniously with nature, protecting wildlife and other species. Here is the list of

Philippines Sustainable Development Goals Current Standing
In 2022, the Subcommittee on Sustainable Development Goals (SC-SDG) in the Philippines focused its
efforts on ensuring the integration of the SDGs into the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), which covers
the period from 2023-2028. From policy to action, the PDP reflects all of the 17 SDGs. The SDG held two
meetings discussing SDG activities for the year where it discussed SDG activities and received updates on
the monitoring and reporting of SDGs from the Philippine Statistics Authority. These meetings provided
guidance to the National Economic Development Authority on how to incorporate SDG indicators into the
development plan and to coordinate them with the plan's indicators and strategies. Overall, a total of 99
out of 155 indicators were adopted into the PDP. (SDGs Secretariat, February 2023)
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) leads government in recalibrating 2030
targets on the SDGs. NEDA hosted a
The article describes a targeting workshop organized by the National Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA) in December 2022, which aimed to review and update the 2030 targets of key SDG
indicators. The workshop involved various government agencies and was held in tandem with the
completion of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028. The goal of the workshop was to revise
the 2030 targets of SDG indicators that had been incorporated into the PDP, using updated baselines,
recent data, and target setting methodologies.
NEDA leads government in recalibrating 2030 targets on the SDGs
In December of 2022, the National Economic and Development Authority NEDA hosted a targeting
workshop that allowed government to review and update the 2030 targets of key SDG indicators. The
workshop was conducted with active participation from the PDP Planning Committee (PC) technical
focals, SDG sector focal persons, and various implementing agencies across government.
The workshop was planned to complement the completion of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP)
2023-2028 which was at its final stages. Consistent with the commitment of the Philippines to the 2030
Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were already mainstreamed into the PDP through
the inclusion of strategies, indicators, and targets in attaining the SDGs. The results of the workshop shall
then be the basis for monitoring and evaluating the country’s SDG progress until 2030.
The main objective of the workshop was to revisit and recalibrate the 2030 targets of the SDG indicators
that have been integrated in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028. To do this, participants from
across the government with the support of the Philippine Statistics Authority was divided into four
thematic groups: 1) economics, 2) peace, security, and governance, 3) social, and 4) environment. As
groups, participants workshopped what could be ideal 2030 targets for relevant indicators based on the
updated baselines, latest data, and the target setting methodologies employed by the Secretariat of the
Sub-Committee on the SDGs. Some suggestions for future indicators were also welcomed in the groups,
reflecting a very engaging, dynamic, and transparent process.

NEDA CONDUCTS WORKSHOP TO CRAFT FRAMEWORK FOR ACHIEVING SDGs
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), as Secretariat of the Subcommittee on
Sustainable Development Goals (SC-SDG) and its Stakeholders’ Chamber, held a workshop on Monday,
September 30, 2024, to solicit ideas and inputs for the formulation of an indicator and strategy
framework designed to guide non-government sector’s actions, as partners in achieving the SDGs.
The proposed framework aligns with the goals of the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, which
outlines strategies aimed at achieving all 17 SDGs. It will serve as a crucial tool for members of the
Stakeholders’ Chamber from the private sector, civil sector organizations, and non-governmental
organizations by providing targeted strategies and corresponding performance measures, informed by
the country’s pace of progress on the SDGs.
“The primary objective of this workshop is to develop a comprehensive framework that will enable our
chamber to effectively measure and report on our progress towards achieving the sustainable
development goals,” said Mr. Donald James Gawe, Executive Director of the Philippine National
Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency and Chairperson of the Stakeholders’ Chamber on SDGs, in his
opening remarks at the workshop held at the Ace Hotel & Suites in Pasig City.
The said framework will incorporate the strategies to be pursued by the chamber’s member
organizations, to be operationalized in the form of SDG-related programs and projects implemented as
part of their organization’s mandate, and internal sustainability and environment, social, and governance
(ESG) practices and policies that contribute to the SDGs.
According to Dr. Maria Assunta C. Cuyegkeng of the Ateneo de Manila University, aligning ESG initiatives
of private companies with the SDG-based strategies of the government not only enhances the business
performance of organizations but also contributes positively to the whole of society and the
environment.
Moreover, the framework will also be used to identify areas where progress is lagging, and outline
specific measures that non-government sector can pursue to complement government’s efforts to
address these challenges.
The Philippine Statistics Authority, which serves as the official repository of SDG indicators in the
Philippines reported that the Philippines is currently sufficiently meeting SDG 12: Responsible
Consumption and Production and SDG 14: Life Below Water. However, regression has been noted in SDG
3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, SDG 11: Sustainable
Cities and Communities, and SDG 13: Climate Action.
As a concluding message, Ms. Rebecca L. Malay of the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement who
serves as co-chairperson of the chamber, reminded the members that in formulating the indicator
framework, they should not only focus on the numbers but to look at the factors that can enrich the
stories. “It is not only the numbers that are officially counted that count, but the stories that we have
that count,” according to her.
