6 6 The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development The SDG are "integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally applicable": they are applicable to all countries they are about addressing the needs of the poor or otherwise disadvantaged groups wherever they may live (not just in poor countries) The SDG are "unprecedented in scope and significance" The MDGs were about a limited set of human development targets The SDGs cover the economic, environmental and social pillars of sustainable development with a strong focus on equity The wide range of SDG goals more closely reflect the range of issues with which a government has to contend in reality

7 From MDGs to SDGs MDGs 2000 Human development UN agencies-led process Developing country focus: poverty reduction and social development (health, education, gender) 8 goals (3 for health) 21 targets (6 for health) 60 indicators (21 for health) SDGs 2015 Economic, environmental, social sustainable development, with equity Intergovernmental process, UN in technical advisory role All-country focus: economic, social and environmental pillars of development 17 goals (1 for health) 169 targets (13 for health) Many indicators 7

Much broader agenda than MDGs Health also sits in Goals 2,4 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 16 (2016 EB draft resolution) Health is influenced by many other SDGs The SDG agenda includes a broader range of determinants of health (poverty reduction, reducing inequality, climate action, migration) Bringing it together: Universal Health Coverage Declaration states to promote physical and mental health and well being and to extend life expectancy for all we must achieve universal health coverage and access to quality health care. No-one must be left behind. (para 26) 8
