UNITED NATIONS

Since 2019, Central Plateau REAP board members and staff have been growing in their understanding of the strong alignment between the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our REAP purpose and vision.

Since 2019, Central Plateau REAP board members and staff have been growing in their understanding of the strong alignment between the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our REAP purpose and vision. We believe that, as a regional not-for-profit in one of the smaller countries in the world, we have the potential to punch above our weight and contribute to the SDGs in a holistic way that is meaningful to the communities we serve.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the United Nations are designed to “end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity”. The SDGs encourage a reconsideration of the impact of various activities on people and the planet. REAP has a long term history of proudly serving the Central Plateau region. By incorporating the SDGs into our strategy, we will be able to identify and quantify our contribution to this global cause.

During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, REAP staff used some of that time to identify SDG’s relevant to their particular area of focus. As a result we have committed to the following SDGs:

  • SDG1: No Poverty
  • SDG 2: Zero Hunger
  • SDG 3: Good Health and   Well-being
  • SDG 4: Quality Education
  • SDG 5: Gender Equality

 

  • SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
  • SDG 11: Sustainable                    Communities
  • SDG 13: Climate Action
  • SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

 

Our parent body, REAP Aotearoa, is leading the SDG work with the 13 independent REAPs.
