A group of the most vulnerable youngsters in the Eastern Cape has shown that a plan by the United Nations to help reach its sustainable development goals in some of the most vulnerable communities might have a chance of being successful.
To help meet these targets, the UN says programmes such as school feeding programmes and ensuring schools are safe and that education is free can act like “accelerators” or areas where improvements can help countries reach multiple SDGs faster. Researchers evaluated how well these kinds of accelerators worked for 11 out of the 17 sustainable goals, including protecting people from emotional or physical abuse. They found that when young people felt safe at school and lived in homes with access to cash transfers and parenting support that they were less likely to report experiencing abuse.
