All united Nations Member States adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, in 2015 as a universal call to act to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030 . The SDGs include several goals that relate directly to nutrition: SDG2 (zero hunger- food), SDG3 (good health and well-being - healthy life), and sD G12 (responsible consumption and production - sustainability). other sDGs that are closely related to nutrition are sDG4 and sDG5 (quality education and gender equality in gender - education and health for girls and mothers, which is very important for infant health) and SDG13 (climate action) . SDG3 is “good health and well-be- ing”, which includes targets for child mortality, maternal mortality, and reducing chronic disease. This presentation discusses the role of public health nutrition in achieving the SDGs. It also examines whether Sudan is on track for achieving SDGs, and the role of nutrition education and advocacy. Also whether it is on track in fulfilling the knowledge and skills of health professional students in public health, and nutrition and dietetics competencies.
