Our Work on the Sustainable Development Goals in Kenya
How the UN is supporting The Sustainable Development Goals in Kenya
The UN and its partners in Kenya are working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: 17 interconnected and ambitious goals which address the major development challenges faced by people in Kenya and around the world.
The current UNDAF (2018-2022) is anchored in the country's blue print for development, the Kenya Vision 2030, and the national priorities as outlined in the Medium-Term Plan III, the Big Four Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All the 14 outcomes of the UNDAF are anchored in at least one of the 17 SDGs. Our new UNDAF will make even greater strides towards expanding public-private partnerships for SDG realization and deepening integrated programming, going to the farthest first. The SDGs principle of 'leave no one behind' (LNOB) will be mainstreamed and applied throughout the UNDAF cycle.
