SOCIETY, HEALTH AND EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION INDEX

The index looks at what government, society and the private sector are doing to contribute to the social transformation of ordinary citizens – a transformation desperately needed to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that leave people behind.  Our assessment scores these organizations on selected key social indicators. These indicators surface high-level societal expectations of government and  the private sector.

Our report presents key findings that show what government and the private sector can do to contribute to a just and equitable society. It also features good practice examples of what constitutes a just and equitable society.

Our Social, Health and Education Transformation Index is aligned to the following Sustainable Development Goals:

  • SDG1: No Poverty
  • SDG2: Zero Hunger
  • SGD3: Good Health and Well Being
  • SDG4: Quality Education
  • SDG5: Gender Equality

The index aligns to the following goals of the National Development Plan:

  • Improve social protection and improve access to social services (1.1, 1.3, 10.1, 3.8)
  • Expand ECD programmes (4.2, 2.2, 5.4, 8.5)
  • Promote higher quality and industry-relevant education and training (4.4, 9.2, 8.3)
  • Address the unequal share of unpaid care and domestic work (5.5, 5.4, 10.3)
  • Promote innovative and sustainable health financing (3.c, 3.8, 1.1)
  • Improve frontline health-care services (3.c, 3.8, 1.1)
  • Prioritise social determinants of health (3.c, 3.8, 1.1)
  • Correct gaps in legislation and policy which address discrimination (5.1, 5.2, 5.5)
