The UPU conducted a comprehensive mapping exercise in 2023 to assess the alignment of its strategies and financial commitments with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This document outlines the meticulous process undertaken, including validation, merging of mapping data with the UPU budget, and insightful outcomes.
The UPU’s 133 work proposals were found to align, to varying degrees, with 15 of the 17 SDGs. Notably, strong alignment was found with Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), Goal 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure), Goal 10 (Reduced inequalities), Goal 1 (No poverty) and Goal 8 (Decent work and economic growth).
The results underscore the UPU’s crucial role in advancing global agendas and its progress in aligning its operations with the SDGs. The mapping exercise can serve as a proactive tool for future strategy development (2026–2029), helping to better integrate the SDGs that are supported by the core of UPU operations.
