“…Despite some criticism of multidimensional and composite indexes (Ravallion 2011 ; Greco et al 2019 ; Biggeri et al 2019 ), the international community explicitly recognize the important role of multidimensional measures of poverty, and the fact that poverty affects groups of the population differently. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include a specific mention of poverty “in all its dimensions” in target 1.2, and more recently, the Atkinson commission on Global Poverty endorsed the measurement of multidimensional poverty, along with monetary poverty, to track progress towards SDG 1.2 (World Bank 2017 ).…”

Despite the growing popularity of multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis, its use to measure the impact of social protection programs remains scarce. Using primary data collected for the evaluation of HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 068, a randomized, conditional cash transfer intervention for young girls in South Africa that ran from 2011 to 2015, we construct an individual-level measure of multidimensional poverty, a major departure from standard indices that use the household as the unit of analysis. We construct our measure by aggregating multiple deprivation indicators across six dimensions and using a system of nested weights where each domain is weighted equally. Our findings show that the cash transfer consistently reduces deprivations among girls, in particular through the domains of economic agency, violence, and relationships. These results show how social protection interventions can improve the lives of young women beyond single domains and demonstrate the potential for social protection to simultaneously address multiple targets of the SDGs.

In the list of the most important manifestations of global trends, one cannot but see the UN activity in spreading the Sustainable Development Goals. This publication will discuss, firstly, the theoretical aspects that justify it and secondly - the difficulties and successes of the Russian business in its implementation. In relation to the theoretical part general methodological issues of organizing its monitoring of the SDGs at enterprises are analized. Here the choice of direction (and indicators) by enterprises are described, the structure of goals selected in different countries (SDG industry metrix) is depickted, methods for evaluating the effectiveness of measures are shown. As for russian problems, the publication describes the general directions of state and supranational business promotion, as well as identifies some of the most successful business incentive practices. There are also named companies country leaders. Using the data of a sociological study conducted by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs business associations the specific features of the implementation of tasks in the country‘s business are given. As a result of the publication, authors give the general assessment of Russian business as corresponding to the initial stage.

“…The SDG-Index values all the SDGs equally. However, the calculation method based on the arithmetic mean of each subscript would indicate that a perfect substitution among the different dimensions is assumed, which presents other types of problems [23]. Furthermore, the concrete results for countries all over the world offer a panorama in which the SDG Index ranking mimics the conventional pattern in which higher levels of development imply greater ecological footprints, again exacerbating the contradiction between economic development and ecological sustainability [3].…”

This article analyzes the potential of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) to foster the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Local public policies play an important role in supporting both the SSE and SDGs. We select a case study of four SSE projects of a local development agency in the Basque Country, where the SSE has a considerable presence through diverse forms and experiences. We address how these projects, which are implemented in a coordinated and transversal manner, contribute to many specific targets within SDG goals number 8 (growth and decent work), 12 (sustainable consumption and production patterns), and 5 (gender equity). However, some limitations have also been identified: (i) trade-offs, in both SSE and SDGs, between economic growth and other aims centered on environmental sustainability; and (ii) avoidance of handling issues, which limits a systemic transformation.
