Brief summary of presentation of information made

• The gap between the rich and poor is widening drastically, and the social policies about eradicating poverty need to be translated to reality in local communities.
• For us to have a resilient community without poverty we need to listen to the vulnerable people who are within that community.
• We need also to enable them to participate in our social programmes.
• Religious leaders should get involved for the accountability and transparency.
• In all poverty eradicating programmes, we need to have a holistic approach.
• We should also address the other SDGs like education, health services and sanitation as they are all inter-related, and be innovative in our approach.

What was of particular significance to share with The Salvation Army globally?

The Salvation Army, being a Christian organisation, should continue to be more responsive to eradicate poverty in our societies.

We should encourage one another to be a good stewards and do something so as to meet the SDGs from a faith-based perspective.
