SDG Index Measures All Countries’ Progress Since 2015
SDG Knowledge Hub "The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) has released the 2020 edition of the Sustainable Development Report, focusing on ‘The Sustainable Development Goals and Covid-19.’ The annual report tracks the performance of all UN Member States on the 17 SDGs, measuring the distance remaining to achieve each target. The report released on 30 June 2020 was written by lead author Jeffrey Sachs and a team of independent experts working at the SDSN and Bertelsmann Stiftung. It includes the SDG Index along with interactive dashboards to visually represent countries’ performance by SDG. The Index presents progress towards each SDG since 2015, and does not include data from the time since COVID-19 emerged." (Photo: UN Women/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
La Centrale Sanitaire Suisse Romande (CSSR) La CSSR prend le relais de Madre Tierra Suisse en soutenir Madre Tierra Mexico, une association civile qui trouve ses racines dans des processus d’organisation communautaire en 1997. En collaboration avec des organisations indigènes, paysannes, ouvrières et populaires de la région du Chiapas, son projet vise à former 15 promoteurs·trices de santé préventive qui se rendront régulièrement dans les communautés pour réaliser des ateliers de prévention des maladies les plus courantes et des comportements à risque, allant jusqu'à l’enseignement de techniques de construction dans le but d'améliorer l'habitat des familles.

The Lancet "The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across Africa, with every country on the continent confirming cases of the disease. In addition to efforts aimed at flattening the disease curve, improving diagnosis, and ensuring case finding and management align with global benchmarks, health systems in African countries are also facing several local challenges that foreign solutions may not effectively help with. These challenges are presenting opportunities for the health technologies sector in Africa, which is now seeing more activity than was anticipated at the outset of 2020."

UNAIDS "Missed targets have resulted in 3.5 million more HIV infections and 820 000 more AIDS-related deaths since 2015 than if the world was on track to meet the 2020 targets. In addition, the response could be set back further, by 10 years or more, if the COVID-19 pandemic results in severe disruptions to HIV services. A new report by UNAIDS shows remarkable, but highly unequal, progress, notably in expanding access to antiretroviral therapy. Because the achievements have not been shared equally within and between countries, the global HIV targets set for 2020 will not be reached. The report, Seizing the moment, warns that even the gains made could be lost and progress further stalled if we fail to act. It highlights just how urgent it is for countries to double down and act with greater urgency to reach the millions still left behind." (Photo: © UNAIDS)
NGO-Koordination post Beijing Schweiz "Erstmals gibt es in der Schweiz einen Erklärfilm, der die Botschaft der UNO-Frauenrechtskonvention CEDAW in leicht verständliche Bilder übersetzt. Er soll die CEDAW einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt machen. Der Clip wird von der NGO-Koordination post Beijing Schweiz in Zusammenarbeit mit der Eidgenössischen Kommission für Frauenfragen EKF lanciert. Die Veröffentlichung erfolgt gleichzeitig mit dem Inkrafttreten des revidierten Gleichstellungsgesetzes am 1. Juli 2020. Die CEDAW zeigt, dass es weitere Schritte braucht. Seit 40 Jahren gibt es die CEDAW. Die Abkürzung steht für Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. 189 Staaten haben sich bisher verpflichtet, die CEDAW umzusetzen, darunter auch die Schweiz. Bisher ist die Frauenrechtskonvention jedoch über Fachkreise hinaus wenig bekannt und wird kaum genutzt. Dies will der neue Animationsfilm ändern. Er zeigt, wie mit der CEDAW Gerechtigkeit für alle Geschlechter erreicht werden kann."
