Our Programs
In a few years to come, the world will be in sight of 2030, a do-or-die time for achieving the 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs). For MAA, this is our moment to rise and move further. To do so, we want to contribute by focusing largely on five global SDGs that we consider most urgent to our constituency. These are: ending poverty; ending hunger and achieving food security; availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation; addressing climate change and its impacts; and enhancing global partnerships. We strive to address these global goals and look further beyond 2030 through our four major entry points:
