The document is the first progress report of São Paulo State’s Multiyear Plan (PPA) for 2016‑2019, produced jointly by the State Government, SEADE Foundation and FAPESP. Its purpose is to assess how the state’s policies and programmes align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report systematically maps all 17 SDGs and their 169 targets to the PPA, presenting a detailed cross‑reference of each target with relevant state actions, programmes (e.g., Program 3500 – Multidimensional Attack on Extreme Poverty, Program 3517 – Social Protection), and departmental responsibilities. For each target, the report selects quantitative indicators, draws time‑series data from national sources (IBGE PNADC/PNAD, SISVAN, PNI, etc.), and displays trends on poverty, inequality, health, education, gender, water, energy, climate, biodiversity and governance. An appendix links targets to specific chapters, while the main body summarises progress, highlights achievements (e.g., reductions in extreme poverty, improvements in school enrolment, expansion of renewable energy), and flags gaps (persistent inequality, limited data for some environmental targets). The narrative stresses the importance of inter‑governmental partnerships, international cooperation, and capacity‑building for statistical monitoring, and outlines policy recommendations to accelerate progress toward the 2030 agenda. The report serves both as a monitoring tool for São Paulo and as a model for sub‑national SDG reporting.
