The UN Sustainable Development Goals Short Courses for Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract

The United Nations University Geothermal Training Programme (UNU-GTP) responded to the adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by starting new series of Short Courses in El Salvador for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC region) and in Kenya for African countries, referred to as SDG Short Courses. The new series rest on the solid foundations of the earlier MDG Short Courses, with a refined structure and approach to better meet the objectives of the SDGs, as well as the evolving needs of partner countries. The two series were started off in El Salvador in September 2016 and in Kenya in November the same year, with the second courses held in 2017. The SDG Short Courses are an important component of the multi-faceted operations of UNU-GTP.
