Interns' work and SDG Made easy by Paige

Now that the summer internship had been finished, it's time to show you what our interns had worked on this summer. For the following weeks, every day we will two of the many works upload the of the students, each one in a bite size. You can read all about our interns on https://www.gmce-haifa-hub.com/internship-2022.

Today's first work will be about the first page of Paige's work on our SDG made easy program. Have a nice read.


SDG Made Easy & Access to Health Care


Sustainable Development Goals, more commonly known as SDGs, provide a roadmap for shared goals among members of the United Nations. They came about in 2015 and plan to be accomplished by 2030. In the same year, 2015, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) essentially expired. MDGs consisted of eight common goals that ranged from reducing poverty rates and hunger to promoting gender equality. MDGs acted as a foundation for SDGs and expanded the eight goals into 17 goals. They then breakdown even further into 169 SDG Targets and 232 indicators. These indicators measure the success of each SDG and can cause the SDG language to be viewed as confusing and too extensive.


On this page, you will find the 17 SDGs and their accompanying indicators and targets simplified into six main topics. These include Access to Healthcare, Protecting the Environment, Youth Development, Advances in Technology, Promoting, Gender, Equality, and Improving Living Standards.
