3 Each SDG features a variety of concrete underlying targets, describing the drivers behind the achievement of the goals. To provide a better understanding of the SDG aspects sup- ported by OPEC Fund-financed projects, the below sections show contributions by specific SDG target. The sum of pro- jects contributing to the targets under each SDG can sum to more than the total number of projects per SDG because projects often contribute to more than one SDG target. Under SDG 1, OPEC Fund operations mainly contributed to targets 1.2 and 1.4 (Table 1) . Fund-supported projects contributing to SDG 1 typically aim to reduce poverty by improving access to basic healthcare, education, and other services; by helping farmers improve their livelihoods; or by supporting policy reforms. Projects approved since 2018 that contribute to SDG 1 include, for example, a US$50 million loan in continued support of multi-pronged poverty reduction pro- grams in Tanzania, as well as a US$23 million loan for helping El Salvador upgrade gravel roads to ensure all-weather access to basic services in high-poverty rural areas.
