Unit 4: Outcome 2 Flashcards
The rationale of the SDGs
The SDGs seek to build on the MDGs and complete what they did not achieve.
Balance the three dimensions of sustainable development – environmental, social and economic.
People, planet, peace, prosperity, partnership
SDG objectives
End extreme poverty
Fight inequality and injustice
Address climate change
How will the SDGs be achieved?
A contract that binds all the countries to uphold the goals
Working collaboratively to achieve the goals
By working to improve the current urgent environmental, political and economic challenges of the world
Goals
- No poverty
- Zero hunger
- Good health and wellbeing
- Quality education
- Gender equality
- Clean water and sanitation
- Climate action
Goal 3 - Good health and wellbeing
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Goal 3 targets
Outcomes
Reduce global maternal mortality, infant mortality and U5MR
End communicable diseases
Reduce premature mortality from NCD and promote mental health and wellbeing
Reduce the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic incidents
Reduce deaths from contamination and pollution
How to do it:
Access to sexual and reproductive health care
Achieve universal health coverage
Strengthen the implementation of the WHO Framework Tobacco
Increase the strength of the health workforce
Strengthen the capacity of all countries for health risks
Strengthen prevention and treatment of substance abuse
SDG 1 - no poverty
Goal 1 aims to end poverty in all its forms everywhere
Targets for SDG 1
Eradicate extreme poverty for all people
Reduce by at least half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty
Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all
Ensure that all men and women have equal rights to economic resources
Build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations
Create sound policy frameworks
Relationship between SDG 1 to SDG 3
Prioritising the health needs of the poor
By reducing poverty incomes increase, therefore they can afford;
healthcare to prevent maternal mortality
essential medicines to treat NCDs
education to improve health literacy about communicable/NC diseases
SDG 2 - Zero Hunger
Aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Targets of SDG 2
End hunger and ensure access for all people to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
End all forms of malnutrition
Double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers.
Ensure sustainable food production systems
Maintain the genetic diversity of seeds
Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets
The relationship between SDG 2 and SDG 3
Addressing the causes and consequences of all forms of malnutrition
By reducing malnutrition it can;
allow children to have good immune systems and therefore are less likely to die as infants or under 5
allow mothers to prevent birth complications relating to malnutrition and reduce maternal mortality
SDG 4 - Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Targets of SDG 4
Ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education
Ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality education
Eliminate gender disparities
Ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults achieve literacy and numeracy.
Ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development
Provide facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all.
Increase the supply of qualified teachers
The relationship between SDG 4 and SDG 3
Supporting high-quality education for all to improve health and health equity
Increasing education helps to;
increase health literacy about communicable diseases and therefore prevent mortality
increase health literacy about NCD’s and therefore reduce premature mortality
increase health literacy about vaccinations which will reduce infant and U5MR
SDG 5 - Gender Equality
The aim is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Targets of SDG 5
End all forms of discrimination and violence against women
Recognise and value unpaid care and domestic work
Equal opportunities for leadership
Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health rights
Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources
Enhance the use of enabling technology
Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation
The relationship between SDG 5 and SDG 3
Fighting gender inequalities, including violence against women.
By achieving gender equality;
Women will have adequate access to health care and prevent maternal mortality
Increasing access of women to education will allow them to earn an income which will help provide health care to their children reducing U5MR
More women earning money and paying tax will allow gov to implement universal health coverage
SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
SDG 6 - Targets
Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.
Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation
Improve water quality
Increase water-use efficiency
Water resources management
Protect and restore water-related ecosystems
water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes in low-middle income countries
The relationship between SDG 3 and SDG 6
Preventing disease through safe water and sanitation for all
By achieving safe water and sanitation it will;
reduce the risk of drinking contaminated water and therefore prevent communicable disease mortality
Help prevent waterborne diseases and prevent U5MR and infant mortality
SDG 13 - Climate Action
The aim of this goal is to take action to combat climate change and its impacts
SDG 13 - Targets
Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards in all countries.
Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
Improve education on climate change
Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in low-income countries
Relationship between SDG 3 and SDG 13
Protecting health from climate risks, and promoting health through low-carbon development
By combating climate change it will;
reduce risk of rising sea levels and therefore contaminated water which will prevent waterborne diseases
It will reduce the risk of natural disasters and therefore allow gov to spend money on implementing universal health coverage
WHO objectives
World Health Organisation - to build a better, healthier future for all people all over the world
To improve peoples health and wellbeing
Focuses on equitable health so that all people can experience good health
WHO priorities
Universal health coverage The international Health regulations Increasing access to medical products Social, economic and environmental determinants Non-communicable diseases Health-related MDG (SDG)
Advancing Universal Health Coverage
The goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them
- access to the services and financial protection are vital in the role of reducing health inequities
How to achieve universal health coverage
A strong, efficient, well-run health system that meets priority health needs through people-centred care
Affordability
A sufficient capacity of well-trained, motivated health workers to provide the services
