SISEAP when implementing projects are encouraged that their project focus meets a SDG and target. Clubs are encouraged look at what they currently have planned and see if it fits one of the goals or they may choose to tackle the goals in terms of their local area first before considering the wider context. For example with Goal 15 which looks large it may be a matter of identifying if a local ecosystem could do with support and see how that might take place within the context of the SDGs and our Programme objectives.
