Stepping up to the SDGs

Mapping global SDG progress by members of Scotland’s International Development Alliance

At this key moment, halfway to the 2030 target for implementing the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), ‘Stepping up to the SDGs’ reassesses how SIDA members are implementing the SDG
Agenda. It reveals that our members contribute to all 17 SDGs in over 170 countries. By mapping the
contributions of our member organisations in different countries against all 17 SDGs, we hope to
raise awareness of the 2030 SDG Agenda and show how the SDGs are shaping global efforts towards
sustainable development.

“As the only inclusive membership body for all global sustainable development actors in Scotland, it is essential for us, our members, and our supporters to have a complete understanding of our role in achieving the SDGs.”

Frances Guy, Chief Executive, Scotland’s International Development Alliance

SIDA will continue to support and champion its members contributions to the SDGs, with this report
highlighting just some elements of our wider memberships’ collective endeavour. See below the full
2023 ‘Stepping up to the SDGs’ report followed by some highlights.

To find out more about how this report was created see our methodology and further reading.
