Kaveri Pharma Ltd runs a CSR project that trains 500 rural women in tailoring and helps them set up units, so that they earn regular income. The company wants to report the project against the SDGs. Which pairing is the most appropriate primary mapping?

The best mapping is SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, with SDG 5, Gender Equality, as a supporting goal. The project's purpose is skills and livelihoods for rural women. Hunger, marine life and institutional goals are only remote or incidental effects of such training.

  1. ASDG 2 - Zero Hunger, because income buys food
  2. BSDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth, with SDG 5 - Gender Equality as a supporting goalCorrect
  3. CSDG 14 - Life Below Water, because textiles use water
  4. DSDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, because units are registered

Explanation

Skill training and livelihood creation aim at productive employment, which is SDG 8, and the focus on women supports SDG 5. Option A is only an indirect effect, and options C and D have no real link to the project's purpose.
