We are dedicated to empowering our beneficiaries, fostering active partnership rather than passive reception of services. Our goal is to enable them to take control of their lives and develop the capabilities necessary to emerge as champions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the grassroots level.

Recognizing the importance of building resilient communities, we emphasize the enhancement of community capacity to face and effectively respond to challenges, whether they are economic, social, or environmental in nature. This involves adopting a collective, holistic, and community-driven approach that highlights the significance of active participation, collaboration, and a focus on long-term sustainability in creating resilient communities.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia (APPGM) was founded on October 17, 2019, following a proposal made in Parliament on behalf of the Government by the late YB Datuk Liew Vui Keong who was the Law Minister. The APPGM provides a platform for MPs from both the lower house and the upper house (Senate) to discuss public interest topics and collaborate with external stakeholders like civil society, academicians and private sector.

The Minister also announced the establishment of APPGM SDG with Professor Datuk Dr Denison Jayasooria as the Head of the Secretariat (who was then the Co-chair of the Malaysian CSO-SDG Alliance). As a requirement by the Ministry of Finance, a Society was established under the ROS on 7 January 2020 which became the legal body for managing the government grants, the staff team and all secretariate matters.

YB Maria Chin became the first chair of APPGM SDG and YB Dato Nancy Shukri as the Deputy. However, with the change of government in 2020, YB Dato Sri Rohani Abdul Karim became the new chairperson and YB Maria Chin as the Deputy.

Following the dissolution of the 14th Parliament on October 10, 2022, and the transition period until March 21, 2023, the Society for the Promotion of SDGs, as the Secretariat, continued implementing APPGM-SDG decisions as a caretaker institution.

On March 21, 2023, the 15th Parliament session saw the re-establishment of the APPGM, with YB Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said announcing the formation in the lower house. The APPGM-SDG was re-established with YB Isnaraissah Munirah binti Majilis as the Chair and YB Dato Saifuddin Abdullah as the Deputy. The Society for the Promotion of SDGs continued its role as the secretariate.
