Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that established global
development priorities for the next 15 years. SDG 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being
for all at all ages) includes fresh targets for reducing maternal, and newborn,under-five mortality and
sexual and reproductive health. Other SDGs address issues of critical importance to the SRMNCAH
community, including education, or gender equality,sexual and reproductive rights, nutrition, or governance and accountability,and continued efforts to strengthen development partnerships.
