SDGs Are Participatory Designed

Different from its predecessor the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), SDGs are designed to involve all development actors, be it the Government, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the private sector, academics, and so on. Approximately 8.5 million citizens’ votes worldwide also contribute to the SDGs Goals and Targets.

Leave No One (Leave No One Behind)

Not Leaving Anyone is a key principle of the SDGs. With these principles SDGs must at least be able to answer two things, procedural justice, namely the extent to which all parties, especially those who have been left behind, can be involved in the entire development process and substantive justice, namely the extent to which development policies and programs can or are able to answer the problems of citizens, especially groups left behind.
