Zim lags on SDGs: UN

THE United Nations (UN) yesterday says Zimbabwe has been lagging in meeting sustainable development goals (SDGs) since 2019 because of lack of financing frameworks necessary to meet set targets.

UN head of resident co-ordination office Ernest Mutanga said although there was progress in some areas, there was a recession and stagnation.

“A key issue, I think, that Zimbabwe needs to address is the question of financing for SDGs and one of the tools that we are meant to use is called the Integrated National Financing Programme, a combination of how both public and private resources that are domestic and international are combined to be able to deliver SDGs,” Mutanga said at a Press conference about the UN Summit for the future and its implications on
Africa.
