Putting the SDGs into practice: Skills and knolwedge at the core of UN SDGs & Agenda 2030

#SDGAction42455

Description

Intro

The practice aims to empowering young people and putting skills and knowledge at the heart of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda, go hand-in-hand.

Objective of the practice

We develop Video materials that demonstrate how skills and development training helps young people to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda.

Partners

Young people in the developing world , KFDWB, students, Universities, Erasmus + programme

Results/Outputs/Impacts

The contribution of KFDWB in this regard is explained and celebrated. We trained people in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroons, Burkina Faso and develop a series of videos (Video materials that demonstrate how skills and development training helps young people to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda) which explain how knowledge and skills are essential to achieving the UN SDGs Agenda 2030. The advantages of skills and knowledge for young people in the developing world are highlighted especially. KFDWB believes that empowering these young people and putting skills and knowledge at the heart of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda, go hand-in-hand. KFDWB aspires to be a trailblazer in promoting effective ways of putting the SDGs into practice. The project was a great successfully project. Young people in the developing world, academics, development aid workers worldwide are enjoing the videos and appreciating the Videos (www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/2017/12/28/un-sdgs)

Enabling factors and constraints

The project was a great successfully project. Young people in the developing world, academics, development aid workers worldwide are enjoing the videos and appreciating the Videos (www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/2017/12/28/un-sdgs). The obstaclee are financial assistance, lack of potential partnerships. Lack of the resource to set up regional academy (https://youtu.be/ZfWzSKFu79s)

Sustainability and replicability

The result of the project has been shared on KFDWB Open Community platform (http://forum.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/) and across different SDGs media canal

Conclusions

The project was successfully. We are looking for potential partners and donors to set up a regional academy (https://youtu.be/ZfWzSKFu79s) that will promote our concept "Skills and knolwedge at the core of UN SDGs & Agenda 2030) locally, particularly in west Africa.
