Is it fine, if we agree that every country in the world is still a DEVELOPING COUNTRY?
When it comes to the Sustainable Development Goals, at least!

If I may borrow that statement from David Nabarro, and get to think about it, closely
It makes so much sense and truth to me
I don’t know about you

If we are to begin off with the Millennium Development Goals, they were only 8 and ranged from halving extreme poverty and hunger to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education.

189 leaders from all over the world took a step at embracing them, back home and getting to usher them into action, swiftly.
Some good progress was made under this regiment of goals that is to say, at least 3 of these goals (extreme poverty, promotion of gender equality and empower women and finally, goal 7 of ensuring environmental sustainability) were scored unevenly across respective continents and countries to the agreed deadline of 2015!

Come 2015, it was agreed and passed that a more holistic approach to sustainability here on earth, would be brought into play
And the famous SDG’s were born then.

I do hope you know about 17 goals
They are a combination of the 8 goals we’ve talked about, above and a further breakdown of the rest of what was left of them prior to the night of the deadline in 2015.
All countries have their own chunk of these goals to score on as well contribute to, in the global wager to attain success on them.

It’s an intergovernmental process…regardless of how wealthy, militarily superior you are, your color, religious beliefs…and all that.

Look at your country, back home and where you are now, can you ably say it has scored so well and highly on these goals OR, is it still crawling like the rest of us is?
Very interesting post. I agree with you. I suppose all countries will have some areas where there is room for improvement.
Oohhhhhh yyyeeesssssss! Indeed. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
Every country has some areas that could be improved. We all need to work together to make the world a better place.
Indeed, Mary. Thank you for sharing and appreciating.
This is true. I think the real problem to solve is how can we help efficiently.
Hhmmmmmmm…that’s one way of putting it. Thank you for appreciating.
That’s an interesting perspective. Had never thought about development that way! In every place there sure is a pot of room for improvement. Also development can be subjective too!
Thank you, Sreekar. It’s good that you now, know.
This is very good explanation in different perspective. Loved your article bro
Ooohhhh….am very glad to hear that, Ajay.
YEEEES! This is a refreshing point of view. You are right – we ARE all developing countries.

Oohhhh…thank you, Tadeja, for appreciating.
Every country needs improvement, even the first world ones. Very interesting read.
Indeed, Tina. Thank you for sharing and appreciating.
the terms are determined by the political scientists and accepted around the scintific community 🙂
Hhhhhmmmmmm….if you say so. Thank you for sharing.
Today people are forgetting about sustainable development. The world is not only for us it’s for our future too. So we should keep this in mind before approaching any activities. Thank you for sharing.
Indeed, Ramesh. You’re most welcome.
The title speaks for itself. And it’s better to know when a country is developing instead of falling down.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
My country is still crawling like the rest of us. We are far from achieving these goals but we are getting there slowly. We are indeed still a developing country
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Refugees and displaced people are today among those furthest behind when it comes to achieving these goals. This is something we want to change.
👍👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) build on the commitment of all countries to ‘leave no one behind, but my country is already behind.
😩😩😩
I love the message here. Every country, no matter how prosperous or perilous, is always growing and changing.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I can’t disagree with you. I do think that every country is a developing country.
😍😍👍👍
A country can never stop developing and it goes forever because there will be always something to improve.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Due to the pandemic, i think every country is having struggling right now. Wish this nightmare will be over and we’ll need the help of our governments for that one
🤞🏽🤞🏽👍👍
I totally agree.
😍😍👍👍
This is such good news! This is proof that every country is doing its best to be a developing country, to provide only good things for their people 🙂
😍😍👍👍
i totally agree with you. no country is completely developed.
😍😍👍👍
Yes, this is true. There are parts of my country with crumbling infrastructure and lack of smooth roads. But most outsiders do not think of the United States as a developing country.
😩😩 how sad!
