Pathway to progress and Inclusive finance are the two Sustainable development goal initiative by CitiBank mainly focuses on the the Goal 8, which is Decent work and economic growth. Citi promotes sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
In the next 20 years, there will be a significant amount of young individuals who are unemployed. The economy will continue to suffer significantly from youth unemployment. Citi has already developed a plan named "Pathway to Progress" to address this issue. The Citi Foundation launched this programme in 2014 with an initial commitment of $50 million to increase employability and generate at least 100,000 employment in the country's largest cities. Citi has enlarged the strategy and invested an extra $100 million to increase employability to 500,000 in 2016 after the aforementioned programme was completed successfully. Citi has partnered with numerous governments and colleges to develop the job opportunities necessary to meet these objectives.
“The Citi Foundation’s focus on youth unemployment also directly contributes to SDG 4 — particularly target 4.4, which aspires, by 2030, to substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.”- Citi
