The overarching objective of the SDGs Campus Ambassadors Program is to nurture 10 million socially responsible leaders by 2030, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and passion needed to spearhead sustainable development initiatives. We aim to elevate awareness and comprehension of the SDGs in over 5000 tertiary institutions in Africa; encouraging active participation in community-based projects aligned with specific SDGs, and fostering a tangible sense of social impact and responsibility.

By instilling a profound understanding of the SDGs, fostering leadership skills, and catalyzing the initiation of impactful community-based projects, the program seeks to plant the seeds of lasting change and amplify awareness of the SDGs within their respective communities and institutions.
