The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present a unique opportunity for South Asia to eradicate poverty and provide a life of dignity to all its people. Despite their economic dynamism and remarkable achievements with regards to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), South Asian countries still account for 36% of the world’s poor, nearly half of its malnourished children, and suffer from a number of development and infrastructure gaps. A disproportionate concentration of the deprived populations in the subregion that accounts for a quarter of the world’s population means that the global achievement of the SDGs will not be possible without South Asia achieving them.
