Uganda embraced the principles for sustainable development as stipulated in the 2030  Agenda. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnerships to “Ensure that No One is Left Behind”. It builds on the  unfinished business of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the commitment to  eradicate poverty in all its forms. Building on this progress, the 2030 Agenda therefore,  presents Uganda with an opportunity to refocus its development agenda, address the  bottlenecks that hamper development, learn from, and network with other countries, and  accelerate national efforts towards achieving a middle income status, while pursuing sustainable and inclusive development within the framework of the Uganda Vision 2040 and  the second National Development Plan (NDP II)
