Workshop SDG session of the Youth Parliament and Youth Ambassadors, supported by UN

Jan 19, 2016

Suriname made significant progress in aiming to achieve the MDGs. Now there is a need to focus on the unfinished agenda of the MDGs. That is why the new SDGs will have to be integrated in the new Development Plan 2015-2020. Suriname also needs to determine in which areas it would like to set its priorities. Development is only sustainable when all future generations are able to enjoy this development. This is the third activity that has been organized in Suriname with the intention of conveying information with regard to the SDGs.

A workshop such as this is a great opportunity for young people to use the chance offered to make a contribution to the new sustainable development goals.
