Together We Can Re-Build

1. Foundation Layer: One Target, One Voice

Each NGO, charity, or community group selects one SDG target that reflects the heart of its mission. It becomes a strategic anchor, shaping programmes, partnerships, and accountability. This isn’t about branding. It’s about clarity.

You don’t need to align to UN indicator systems. Your legitimacy comes from the community you serve, and the impact you can prove.

What This Means For You:

• Choose one SDG target that aligns with your mission and work

• Focus your reporting, storytelling, and advocacy through that lens

• Show stakeholders and funders that you're serious, and structured

2. Action Layer: Work That Already Counts

You don’t need to create new work. You need to recognise the value of what you already do, and link it to a global challenge. Whether it’s supporting women, feeding families, or creating safe spaces, your SDG target helps frame and focus that effort.

3. Community Layer: Local First, Global Always

You work where it matters. Your community is your mandate. Use the target to make that local work visible. That could be through murals, exhibitions, community dashboards, social media series, or school engagement. The SDGs aren’t distant goals, they’re lived experience.

4. ESG Law Layer: Framing and Leverage

You don’t need legal training, but you do need language that carries weight. This framework helps you:

• Understand which rights are linked to your issue

• Track where duty-bearers are failing, or succeeding

• Use ESG framing to talk to governments, donors, and partners

• Show how your work aligns with justice, equity, and policy

This shifts the narrative from charity to structural change.

5. Credly Badge Layer: Proof With Purpose

Recognition comes through verified progress:

• Target Selected — your commitment is documented and published

• Target Activated — your first actions are underway and evidenced

• Target Verified — you've delivered sustained, visible results

All badges are issued by Hudson Consultancy Online and hosted on Credly. They’re time-stamped, evidence-based, and ready to share with funders, partners, or your own community.

6. Visibility Layer: Public Proof, Not Private Effort

You already work hard. Make it visible. That might be a wall, a blog, a reel, a gallery, a poster at the town hall, or a corner of your website. Visibility turns work into momentum… and momentum into support.

7. Support Layer: Tools That Build Credibility

You don’t need consultants. You need support that saves time and earns trust:

• Target Snapshot Sheets written in plain English

• SDG Story + Hero cards for events and youth engagement

• ESG Law Cheat Sheets by theme

• Feasibility Toolkit to select your target wisely

• Templates for project tracking, storytelling, and reports

This is structure that works for small teams with big goals.
