“…More specific analyses undertaken concerning health and the SDGs further illustrate this complexity and the numerous interconnections across the 2030 Agenda. Summarising these, Nunes et al (2016) recognise both the importance of various SDGs in contributing to the health-specific SDG 3 and the varied contributions that improving health can make to other SDGs. As both Le Blanc (2015) and Nunes et al (2016) conclude, this makes policy coherence more complicated and challenging.…”

This article addresses the urgent need for critical analysis of the relationships between sport and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) enshrined in the United Nations' global development framework, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Importantly, there has yet to be any substantial academic exploration of the implications of the position accorded to sport as 'an important enabler' of the aims of 2030 Agenda and its broad set of SDGs. In beginning to address this gap, we draw on the concept of policy coherence for two reasons. Firstly, the designation of a specific SDG Target for policy coherence is recognition of its centrality in working towards SDGs that are considered as 'integrated and indivisible'. Secondly, the concept of policy coherence is centred on a dualism that enables holistic examination of both synergies through which the contribution of sport to the SDGs can be enhanced as well as incoherencies by which sport may detract from such outcomes. Our analysis progresses through three examples that focus on the common orientation of the Sport for Development and Peace 'movement' towards education-orientated objectives aligned with SDG 4; potential synergies between sport participation policies and the SDG 3 Target for reducing non-communicable diseases; and practices within professional football in relation to several migration-related SDG Targets. These examples show the relevance of the SDGs across diverse sectors of the sport industry and illustrate complexities within and across countries that make pursuit of comprehensive policy coherence infeasible. Nevertheless, our analyses lead us to encourage both policy makers and researchers to continue to utilise the concept of policy coherence as a valuable lens to identify and consider factors that may enable and constrain various potential contributions of sport to a range of SDGs.

“…According to [14], the first clear linkages between disease and poor sanitation were established in the late 1830s when the sanitation revolution began in London. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity' [15]. From this definition, health is dependent on economic, social and environmental conditions, and therefore connected with issues such as poverty, gender equality, education, growth and others which are crucial for sustainable development [16].…”

Effects of Waste Management Customer Online Value Co-Creation on Sanitation Attitude and Advocacy: A Customer-Enterprise Dyadic Perspective

2018

Abstract:The study aims at establishing the benefits of actively utilizing the intangible resources of solid waste management customers in designing and implementing solid waste collection services, using the social media platforms. While Ghana generates high volumes of solid waste on a daily basis, less than half of it is effectively collected and disposed of. This calls for the adoption of innovative strategies to better connect and serve customers. Adopting a marketing approach to solid waste management has not been given much needed attention in Ghana and Africa, and this research sought to contribute in that direction. There is high usage of mobile telephony services in Ghana which a waste firm can explore to change negative attitude to waste disposal by the populace. Online co-creation is seen as a modern marketing approach leading to behavioral change in consumers. In this regard, the study looked at customer online co-creation in the solid waste collection sector in Ghana. The study adopted the survey strategy using structured questionnaire as the measure instrument, and data analyzed using both the structural equation model (SEM) and hierarchical multiple regression. The key findings are that customer intangible resources (online experience and skills) can be tapped by waste firms to co-create services that would generate positive attitude towards sanitation issues and the willingness to advocate the services and programs of the firm. Similarly, waste firms must invest in well-functioning and information rich digital platforms, and to devise innovative strategies to direct traffic to these platforms for effective customer participation.

“…On the most basic measure of survival, adolescents living with HIV are among the global populations “furthest behind.” Sustainable Development Goal 3 includes the ending of the epidemics of AIDS and tuberculosis (SDG 3.3) – a crucial target to ensure the health and well‐being of millions in Southern Africa. This study's findings demonstrate that this aim cannot be conceptualized within the goal of health alone . Instead, findings suggest that service provisions aligned with a range of SDGs are strongly associated with reduced potential mortality risk, and that combinations of protective provisions are more effective than any single factor alone.…”

Sustainable Survival for adolescents living withHIV: doSDG‐aligned provisions reduce potential mortality risk?

IntroductionThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present a groundbreaking global development agenda to protect the most vulnerable. Adolescents living with HIV in Sub‐Saharan Africa continue to experience extreme health vulnerabilities, but we know little about the impacts of SDG‐aligned provisions on their health. This study tests associations of provisions aligned with five SDGs with potential mortality risks.MethodsClinical and interview data were gathered from N = 1060 adolescents living with HIV in rural and urban South Africa in 2014 to 2015. All ART‐initiated adolescents from 53 government health facilities were identified, and traced in their communities to include those defaulting and lost‐to‐follow‐up. Potential mortality risk was assessed as either: viral suppression failure (1000+ copies/ml) using patient file records, or adolescent self‐report of diagnosed but untreated tuberculosis or symptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis. SDG‐aligned provisions were measured through adolescent interviews. Provisions aligned with SDGs 1&2 (no poverty and zero hunger) were operationalized as access to basic necessities, social protection and food security; An SDG 3‐aligned provision (ensure healthy lives) was having a healthy primary caregiver; An SDG 8‐aligned provision (employment for all) was employment of a household member; An SDG 16‐aligned provision (protection from violence) was protection from physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Research partners included the South African national government, UNICEF and Pediatric and Adolescent Treatment for Africa.Results20.8% of adolescents living with HIV had potential mortality risk – i.e. viral suppression failure, symptomatic untreated TB, or both. All SDG‐aligned provisions were significantly associated with reduced potential mortality risk: SDG 1&2 (OR 0.599 CI 0.361 to 0.994); SDG 3 (OR 0.577 CI 0.411 to 0.808); SDG 8 (OR 0.602 CI 0.440 to 0.823) and SDG 16 (OR 0.686 CI 0.505 to 0.933). Access to multiple SDG‐aligned provisions showed a strongly graded reduction in potential mortality risk: Among adolescents living with HIV, potential mortality risk was 38.5% with access to no SDG‐aligned provisions, and 9.3% with access to all four.Conclusions SDG‐aligned provisions across a range of SDGs were associated with reduced potential mortality risk among adolescents living with HIV. Access to multiple provisions has the potential to substantially improve survival, suggesting the value of connecting and combining SDGs in our response to paediatric and adolescent HIV.
