Global goals
We map our work to every one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — but not with the same claim. 12 are evidenced by delivered projects. 5 are stated priorities under a focus area we have committed to and not yet begun.
Why this page is split
With seventeen goals covering everything from poverty to oceans to institutions, any organisation can write a sentence connecting itself to each one. The claim costs nothing to make and cannot be checked, which is exactly why it is worth so little. So we have sorted the goals into two groups and kept them apart everywhere they appear on this site.
12 of 17 goals
Each of these goals is backed by at least one project recorded in the organizational profile with a donor, a location, and a result. The contribution text on the card names that project or the figure it reported, so the claim can be checked against the project record.
5 of 17 goals
These sit under the Climate, Energy Access and Energy Equity focus area, which the organization has committed to and not yet begun. No project, donor, or beneficiary figure stands behind any of them, and none contributes to a single number on the impact page.
12 of the 17 goals, each one attached to work that has already been delivered and documented. Open a goal to see the programme areas behind it and the projects that advance it.
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Our contribution
Direct cash grants reached 1,320 women in 2021 under a UNDP award, and our market assessment work grounds livelihood programming in what the local economy can actually absorb.
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Our contribution
Our CMAM and IYCF programme in Damboa and Geidam reached 500 pregnant and lactating women and 1,000 children under two with screening, therapeutic feeding, and feeding-practice counselling, funded by the World Food Programme.
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Our contribution
Health outreach in Koma reached 500 women and children with cancer and infectious disease sensitization plus drugs and hygiene supplies. Our nutrition, immunization, and reproductive health programming extends this across the North East.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Our contribution
We established a learning centre at Dougire, trained 120 School-Based Management Committee members on the Safe School Declaration in Hong LGA, and certified 26 women as vocational trainers at Malkohi.
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Our contribution
Women and girls are the primary constituency across our portfolio: 1,320 women received cash grants, 500 pregnant and lactating women received nutrition support, 26 women were trained as trainers, and women held 15 of 32 seats on the community management committees we trained.
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Our contribution
We drilled a community borehole at Tasha Sani in Yola South and distribute WASH and hygiene kits alongside health outreach, working with RUWASA on rural water and sanitation.
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Our contribution
Vocational and technical skills training, cash grants for enterprise, and market assessment work that matches training to real local demand rather than to assumption.
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Our contribution
Community infrastructure delivered to date includes a borehole at Tasha Sani and a learning centre at Dougire, with schools, health centres, and community resource hubs in our stated infrastructure programme.
Reduce inequality within and among countries.
Our contribution
We work where services do not reach — conflict-affected communities, displaced populations, and the Koma hills — and target the groups systematically excluded from them: women, girls, and internally displaced households.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Our contribution
Our UNDP Early Recovery and Resilience work in Daware and Malkohi builds community resilience in conflict-affected settlements and trains the management committees that sustain it after handover.
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Our contribution
We trained 120 School-Based Management Committee members on the Safe School Declaration and built community management committees in conflict-affected Daware and Malkohi — strengthening the local institutions that outlast any single project.
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development.
Our contribution
Our delivery record runs through partnership: UNDP, WFP, the Government of Japan, ADSEMA, ADSUBEB, RUWASA, ADSAMA, the Baitul Hikma Wal Ulum Foundation, and the traditional authorities in every community we enter.
5 goals we intend to work on and have not started. They are published here because a commitment made in public is harder to abandon quietly — not because they belong beside the record above.
Peripheral to our operating context. We work in landlocked North East Nigeria and make no marine claim. Our relevance is indirect and inland: protecting the Benue river system and local watersheds from contamination and degradation through our WASH, sanitation, and land restoration work.
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Our stated priority
A core commitment under our new Climate, Energy Access and Energy Equity focus area: solar electrification of health centres, schools, and water points; clean cooking access; and closing the energy access gap for displaced and women-headed households. No energy project has yet been delivered.
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Our stated priority
A stated priority under our climate and environment work: sustainable resource use in agriculture, reduced fuelwood dependence through clean cooking, and waste reduction in our own operations.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Our stated priority
The central commitment of our sixth focus area: community climate vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning, flood and drought early warning and anticipatory action, and climate resilience integrated into every existing programme. This is a forward commitment; no climate project has yet been delivered.
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Our stated priority
Peripheral to our operating context. We work in landlocked North East Nigeria and make no marine claim. Our relevance is indirect and inland: protecting the Benue river system and local watersheds from contamination and degradation through our WASH, sanitation, and land restoration work.
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
Our stated priority
A stated priority: tree planting, land restoration, and soil and water conservation in an operating area facing measurable desertification pressure and farmland degradation.
Breadth of mapping
Bar height counts programme areas, not people and not projects. A tall hatched bar means a goal we have connected to several parts of our stated plan — it does not mean a goal we have delivered against.
Every one of the 17 goals, showing how many of our programme areas map to it and whether that mapping is backed by delivered projects or is a stated forward priority.
Bar height counts the programme areas mapped to a goal. It is a measure of breadth, not of delivery — a tall hatched bar is a commitment, not a result. A stated forward commitment. No delivery, beneficiary figures, or donor funding are claimed.
