Abstract

Universities have a fundamental function in the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be the

necessary foundation for the social and professional

future in which the goals for the development of

societies are recorded.

UNAN-Managua is in a new stage, taking an active

role, aimed at Nicaraguan society and its communities,

influencing the participation of social actors to

contribute and benefit development. The university

has assumed the commitment of the Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and

has integrated them into the work carried out from

its substantive functions, for the strengthening of the

University-Society link.

To achieve the results presented in this article, the

methodology of quantitative and qualitative was used,

of the information provided by the programs and

projects executed by the different Academic Units of

UNAN-Managua, which are complying with the SDGs

of the Agenda 2030.

The results of the study carried out in the different

Faculties, POLISAL, Institutes, Research Centers and

Laboratories create a vision on the areas of incidence

towards economic, social and environmental

sustainability from the institutional work towards the

achievement of the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda in the

next ten years.
