As the world continues to grapple with the global pandemic, the road from crisis to resilience remains long and uncertain. For the most vulnerable populations in developing countries, that uncertainty is particularly acute. In countries and communities where the sustainable development goals (SDGs) make the most difference, the pandemic has impacted all dimensions of sustainable development and reversed years of momentum, marking the first-ever global increase in poverty and decline in SDG progress. Beyond halting the pandemic, urgent action is needed to accelerate development agendas and restore global poverty reduction efforts. Sustainable solutions rely on long-term development, meaning a focus on inclusive growth, human capital, tackling climate change, strengthening fragile institutions, and promoting peace. This green, resilient, inclusive development approach has always been at the heart of the SDGs. It emphasizes the interconnections between people, the planet, and the economy while tackling sustainability and inclusiveness systematically. This report outlines the far-reaching impact of the SDG Fund and the broad scope of development projects. With a focus on smarter data, innovative technologies, and more efficient knowledge sharing, these investments are delivering progress today and promise for tomorrow.
