The year 2015 saw the end of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) which were guiding national development planning and programming in view to attain the 8 global goals which sought primary to address global poverty and inequalities. Many nations Zimbabwe included did not achieve the majority of the MDGs as such there is the unfinished business. However, the global commitment to address the socio-economic challenges assisted in developing a common framework of addressing these challenges across the world. In view of this, the Heads of State and Government adopted a successor package of global development goals and indicators to synchronize the efforts of member’s states in addressing the economic, social, governance and environmental challenges facing the world today through the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a life span of 15 years that is 2016 to 2030.
