Achieving the ambitious reduction in global neonatal mortality targeted in the Sustainable Development Goals and Every Newborn Action Plan will require reducing geographic disparities in newborn deaths through targeted implementation of evidence-based practices. Helping Babies Survive, a suite of educational programs targeting the 3 leading causes of neonatal mortality, has been commonly used to educate providers in evidence-based practices in low-resource settings. Quality improvement (QI) can play a pivotal role in translating this education into improved care. Measurement of key process and outcome indicators, derived from the algorithms (“Action Plans”) central to these training programs, can assist health care providers in understanding the baseline quality of their care, identifying gaps, and assessing improvement. Helping Babies Survive has been the focus of QI programs in Kenya, Nepal, Honduras, and Ethiopia, with critical lessons learned regarding the challenge of measurement, necessity of facility-based QI mentorship and multidisciplinary teams, and importance of systemic commitment to improvement in promoting a culture of QI. Complementing education with QI strategies to identify and close remaining gaps in newborn care will be essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Every Newborn Action Plan targets in the coming decade.

The present paper aims to highlight the discrepancies between two countries of the European Union, Romania and Denmark, in the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals. As Denmark is seen as a primer European and Global nation in achieving the United Nations' targets, Romania can use this example as a guideline on how to act and to obtain the most notable results. The article proposes some key principles that Romanians could follow in order to successfully fulfill the 2030 Action Plan having, as an example, the strategies and indicators reached by Denmark. The current work paper is structured as a review of the two reports that voluntarily summarize the situation of the Sustainable Development Goals in each state, followed by a statistical analysis of investment behavior and concluded with an analysis of the most notable differences between the states based on the dataset published by Eurostat.

Violence against children is widespread in the Region of the Americas and it takes many different, equally unacceptable forms. This report is a major milestone for the Region, because it is the first of its kind. It specifically builds on and is informed by the momentum of INSPIRE: Seven Strategies to End Violence Against Children, a technical package of seven strategies based on the best available evidence and with the highest potential to end violence against all children. The report provides a more in-depth analysis of strategies and approaches to prevent and respond to violence against children in the Americas. Being in line with the commitment made by Member States to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and multiple regional and global strategies, attention to this topic is timely. Its importance is further underlined by the fact that it is the first time that governments are self-reporting on their work to address violence against children in line with the evidence-based strategies of INSPIRE. The report comes at unprecedented times, as the COVID-19 pandemic has created a new urgency for action on violence against children. This report offers a baseline of effort in the Region to prevent and respond to violence against all children everywhere.

Sport is a valuable tool for sustainable development. This is recognized in the Kazan Action Plan, in the 2030 Agenda, itself, and in the Action Plan for its implementation in Spain. In order to broaden the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is necessary to carefully consider both the possible synergies and existing inconsistencies that can enhance and weaken the contribution of sport to sustainable development. Taking as reference the international recommendations in this regard, it will be necessary to take into account the concept of “policy coherence” in both its vertical and horizontal dimensions. Advancing in the achievement of the SDGs largely requires involving subnational governments and the rest of the stakeholders, promoting decision-making based on concrete and reliable common indicators. Starting from the methodology developed globally by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) for locating the SDGs, a comparative analysis of the sports situation of each Spanish Autonomous Community will be carried out as a diagnosis. This is to show the existing inequalities between territories in relation to the selected indicators and, at the same time, identify some of the main limitations and gaps that we currently find in Spain to perform this location in a more effective way.

This work seeks to analyze the National Commission on the Sustainable Development Goals (CNODS, in Portuguese) from its constitution, structure and first delivers. Created in 2016, its installation and work began after the representatives took office in June 2017. It is presented as a collegiate, consultative organ, with parity between the government and civil society, to advance social participation. Among its competences lays the proposition of an action plan to implementations of the UN’s 2030 Agenda to Sustainable Development in Brazil. We seek to verify whether the commission complies to those aspects within its mandate during the first years of functioning. For that, we searched the Brazilian government’s official publications’ digital archive, from 2015 and 2017 and the documents available at the commission’s website. We highlight the decree that created it (Decreto nº 8.892/2016) and the 2017-2019 Action Plan. We concluded the commission is a weak governance instrument, with restricted and limited social participation and underrepresentation of subnational governments. It predisposes the prominence of the Federal Executive Secretariat and lacks the participation of important sectorial agencies inside the SDGs scope. During the period, its strategic planning stayed restricted to short-term planning.

In 2015, 17 sustainable development goals were established for 2030. These global goals aim to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all. In support of the sustainable development goals, the World Health Organization proposed a new global strategy for women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health in 2016 with three overarching objectives: to survive, to thrive, and to transform. We are now globally seeking not only to end preventable deaths but also to ensure health and wellbeing, and expand enabling environments. This strategy builds on several prior initiatives in maternal and newborn health, such as the Every Woman, Every Child initiative, and the strategy to end preventable maternal mortality and implementation of an action plan to end preventable newborn death. This confluence of initiatives, strategies, and novel financing mechanisms under the umbrella of the sustainable development goals and the global strategy pave the way for a global agenda in which securing women’s health is critical.

To understand how the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are involved and cited in different fields, the current study aimed to explore the key SDGs and SDG-pairs from the viewpoints of academia and the media. The academic publications with SDG(s)-related keywords in the Scopus database and the entry videos of the “2018 SDG Lions” were collected and analyzed through content and network analysis. It was found that SDG 3 and SDG 10 shared the highest preferences in both industries, but apparent gaps happened to SDG 5. The tied frequencies of the possible SDG pairs were also examined, and SDG 3-10 was identified taking the lead in both industries. Network analysis using degree centrality as the vital parameter demonstrated that SDG 8 and SDG 5 has strong connections with several SDGs for the academia and the media, respectively. The SDG-2-6-7 combination or “water-energy-food” nexus was also found the most frequent combination of three SDGs in the academia. Overall, SDG 3 can be treated as a unifying theme when seeking to acquire evidence-based knowledge for integrated implementation of the SDGs. Important implications for policy-making of the SDGs were also discussed.

Abstract The Lapindo mudflow in the Porong area, Sidoarjo Regency has been 14 years old since it first occurred on May 29, 2006. The biggest loss from the Lapindo mudflow is the damage to infrastructure and residents’ homes which has an impact on the slowing down of Sidoarjo’s economy. One of the efforts made by the government is to establish a National Action Plan (RAN) for disaster risk reduction (PRB) as an effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Considering that the Lapindo mudflow is still active and the expiration time cannot be estimated, a long-term management strategy is needed in settlements around the location that are adaptive to the existence of the disaster. The research was carried out using qualitative-descriptive methods. Data collection techniques are carried out by interview, observation and documentation study. The data obtained is then matched with the indicators for assessing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results of the research will provide insights in the form of settlement strategies carried out by local governments and communities as part of sustainable development in accordance with the conditions of their respective regions.
