Nations Fail On SDG Primary Aggregates – Chakwera

The High-Level Political Dialogue at the United Nations General Assembly has revealed a failure by most nations to implement both long and short-term solutions meant for the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Writing on his Facebook page President Lazarus Chakwera observed that most nations are off track to meet the 2030 deadline by which they are expected to achieve the 17 globally acceptable goals.

Chakwera stressed that despite the challenges that Malawi has faced over the past years, remains optimistic about building resilience and sustainability.

“With concerted support, we will fast track our efforts in the remaining half of the journey by using cutting-edge technologies to revolutionalize key sectors of the economy such as trade, health, and agriculture,” writes Chakwera.

Later on Tuesday Chakwera held talks with Dr. Qu Dongyu, the Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in an effort to seek collaboration with key stakeholders in a quest to prioritise agriculture modernization as a catalyst to food security and economic growth.
