Is SDG 15 relevant to TWE

[sunannie27]

Overview

We need to determine if this SDG is relevant to the TWE project, so that we can align research, planing and marketing to that goal.

Action Items

• Go to Resource 1, choose the SDG indicated in the title of this issue
  • Add link to that page into Resource 2
• Review both targets and indicators to determine which SGS are applicable to the project.
• Copy all Targets and Indicators to a comment below
  • Add notes to identify approporate Targets/Indicators and describe how you propose to use the indicator to measure the programs progress
  • Add notes to the Targets/Indicators that you think are not a good fit and why.
• Review with product team
• Update spreadsheet in resource 3 with details product team agrees on
