SDM Ambassadors are responsible for growing the network of Movers for the SDM 2020 Summit while planning and implementing local programmes geared towards spreading awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and facilitating discussion forums that will unearth innovative solutions that are positioned to accelerate the glorious come-back of Small Island Development States (SIDS).
A total of 70 applications were received and after the implementation of a rigorous selection and due diligence process, the decision was made to engage 21 emerging leaders to serve as SDM Ambassadors.
The OECS Commission congratulates the SDM Movers on their selection and takes this opportunity to introduce them to the OECS Network.

Keep up the good work
Do you people really know what sustainable development is? It does not benefit Dominica nor the world at all. Beware of any organization, government that is controlled by the UN. They are extremely dangerous! Simply go to U-tube and search for Rosa Koire. UN Agenda 2030 exposed. They are working aggressively now to bring in this evil New World Order. We the Organic, Melanated people of the world have the spiritual power to stop this. Stick to your source of wealth which is nature, agriculture, get together, sun-gaze, and start giving these demons back their ….. Stop supporting their businesses, working for them, etc. They are habitual liars. Everything they put on the Major News Networks, etc is all reversed, occult rituals, lies….even this lock…down. Those masks on your faces will kill you before a virus does. The UN is hiding behind this DA government. Wake up DA.
