Global Goals: Developing Connectivity to Schools and Communities in Africa via Solar Powered Pumpmakers
Communities worldwide need access to an open, trusted global internet. Through such forums as The Mozilla Learning Network and #TeachSDGs, and the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, otherwise know as the Global Goals, by the United Nations in September 2015, we were given a clear framework to increase our development efforts as well as reinforce our commitment to bringing the benefits of a globally connected internet to everyone. We all have seen the internet as a critical enabler for sustainable development and believe that access to it will help accelerate the achievement of all the SDGs as the Internet has boundless potentials.
Here is our story of the impact of the internet in the achievement of SDGs in our community. As you will see, we have been able to especially move the needle on one SDG in particular: SDG4 which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

The role of Information and Communication Technologies in the implementation of the targets in SDG 11:
ReplyDeleteIn the context of the 2030 Agenda, many international organizations acknowledge the substantial contribution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). New digital technologies offer great potential for promoting and accelerating sustainable development and can potentially support all SDGs, integrating and accelerating the three pillars of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. With particular consider of SDG 11 — making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable — ICTs are critical components for local governments in facing the challenge of unprecedented urban growth in cities all over the world.
