Our desire is that we can all discover our goals and understand that it is the reality of being able to reach them, with effort and work in communion between all the actors. We were born in October 2013 and we were observing attentively how our future was managed and with joy we received what would be our founding cubic stone and that is how it happened; On September 25, 2015, within the United Nations and the 193 UN Member States approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, within the framework of its General Assembly.

In the document, they recognized that the eradication of poverty, in all its forms and dimensions, is the greatest challenge facing the world and  that the SDGs are integrated and indivisible and combine the three dimensions of development: Economic, Social and Environmental (United Nations, 2015). The founding document is called:

"Transform our world, using the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, SDG, as a tool."

This initiative recognizes that the eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest challenge facing the world and constitutes an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.

It proposes a virtuous articulation between economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
In the 2030 Agenda, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 targets are announced.

The SDGs are the result of a three-year, transparent, participatory process and constitute an agreement without  precedents around sustainable development priorities.

They have received worldwide support from civil society, business sectors and parliamentarians, among others.

They have a global character and are universally applicable, taking into account the different realities of each country.

They are interdependent on each other and need to be applied in an integrated manner.
At the beginning of 2016, Argentina began the process of adapting the SDGs to the national reality.

It was determined that the National Council for the Coordination of Social Policies would prioritize the goals of the SDGs according to the Goals and Priorities of the National Government, in particular, regarding the aspirational objective of eliminating poverty.

This prioritization of goals was delivered for their consideration and analysis to all the ministries and agencies of the National Executive Power.

Based on this prioritization, a work process began in commissions, consultations and cross-sectional reviews.
