The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seems to be one
of the greatest challenges for the Developing Agencies, Non-Governmental
Organizations and the Developed Nation in terms of long terms goals and
opportunities of management. Though designed with better integration techniques
and modules, the SDGs simply highlights the action and procedure of achievement
with a minimum integration level. The
major hurdle to the achievement of the SDGs is the core values of the people
and society. The basic difference is the acceptance and adaptation of the SDGs
at grassroots level. On one hand the agencies are trying to give the values of
acceptance to the developing economies where the social values are in the
process of evolving and experimenting. The adaptation process alienate in every
way possible where the major objectives focus more towards report submission
attitude.
From the developed nation to the developing to the least developed, the mentality and core values differentiates variably. Even the meanings can differentiate in terms of cultural understanding and practice which can create gaps in terms achievement.
The leadership fails to understand the relativity of the problem which leads to the lack of understanding. Reality is in variable situation in the lower developing economies things do not work out as per laws and standards. Things need to adjust and adapt as per region and communities where the superior core values of the leadership rules in.

For example regarding poverty and women empowerment issues there
is a huge gap. Poverty is something that is not just related to the income
level of the people especially in the east poverty is more of a socio-cultural
aspect that is integrated with specific tasks, activities and even livelihood.
Likewise, women empowerment is subjected to hardcore values of the west where
women in the east face a challenge in understanding their rights and
independence. The contradiction in
between the values of the east and west further broadens the gaps resulting in
creating vulnerabilities of limited effectiveness and efficiency. In the past
practice of Millennium Development Goals the developing agencies adopted the
strategy of focusing government as concern stakeholder but this resulted in
limited approach of just completion of project than effective implementation of
the project in real terms. Though many of the projects turn out to be
successful in papers and reports but on real grounds the projects were turned
out as soon as the funding were turned off.
The major problem in the developing agencies are the leadership at times of need impose their ideologies and practice that contrast the practice.

In most of the countries the developing agencies are led by
developed national who fail to addresses the issues. The cultural, language and
the social values plays a crucial role in the motivation and operation of the
practice.
With the current integration of “Multistakeholder concept
the SDG’s seems pretty convincing but in lack addressing the mechanism of
developing core values strategies the SDG’s needs a dynamic strategy in terms
of its acceptance.
