Code Zone Contributes to SDG 4

It was therefore such a great pleasure to dedicate Code Zone 2023 to be part of achieving SDG 4, in the words of Arthur Ashe “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” we have contributed to the action towards achieving the Quality Education through giving access to quality technology  training  during the whole of August and ensuring the participants got aware of Sustainability goals through incorporating it in their individual projects. Thanks to Business Journal and Business News for showcasing our work.

What’s different about the Sustainable Development Goals

The 2030 Agenda and its Goals offer a comprehensive vision for sustainable development that:

• is global, rather than limited to “developing” countries as was the case with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs);
• is based on values such as equity and respect for human rights;
• relies on approaches such as sustainable financing, scientific research and innovation, and monitoring and evaluation;
• requires a new way of working, involving intersectoral action by multiple stakeholders;
• aims to strengthen health systems towards universal health coverage (UHC).
