At the AHCP and its consortia, membership services and collaborating organisations, it is widely recognised prior to 2015 that Science, Technology, and Innovation(STI) programmes and projects are very important for global sustainability, community development and growth, which provides equity and sustainable future for society in general. That's why it was easier and quicker for our organisation to embrace the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2015, this process was seamless and was incorporated into our various global projects and programmes. A 2030 Agenda Steering Group was was appointed and approved by our General Committee/Council in October 2015. Since 2015 to date, we have also published many books and articles about the 2030 Agenda, SDGs and STIs to name but a few.
