The 2030 Agenda and addressing the SDGs. Its application in the Reconquista River Basin Committee. Province of Buenos Aires. Argentina

Abstract

The study focuses on the alignment of the Reconquista River Sanitation Program (Loan BID 3256/OC-AR), with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Although the actions carried out by the Reconquista River Basin Committee contribute significantly to these objectives, a lack of documentation and recognition of its impact on the SDGs is identified. The analysis included a background review, search for government commitments and identification of projects financed by the IDB, which were categorized according to the dimensions of the SDGs.

A relationship matrix was developed and validated in order to improve accountability to national and international organizations. The relationship matrix made it possible to visualize what actions are being carried out regarding SDGs and which objectives are being worked on more or are being postponed; From there, evaluate whether the actions carried out are actually conducive to the priorities of the institution.

It was recognized that global indicators are not suitable to be applied at a regional (watershed) scale. The development of own indicators that could be developed and applied by the institution's technicians was suggested.
