growth and development is the investment in infrastructure and innovation. It is estimated that over half of the world's population is living in cities, making infrastructure development and innovation in mass transport and renewable energy very critical. Facts Internet Access More than 4 billion people do not have internet access and over 90 per cent of these people are found in the developing world. The only way to bridge this digital divide is to make sure that there is massive infrastructure development, a massive increase in access to information and knowledge as well as fostering innovation and entrepreneurship powered by AI. Sanitation It is believed that 2.3 billion people the world over cannot access basic sanitation due to infrastructure constraints which cut business productivity in many low-income African countries by approximately 40%. Electricity Approximately 2.6 billion people in developing nations do not have access to constant electricity and the renewable energy sectors currently employ more than 2.3 million people which is predicted to rise to 20 million by 2030. Infrastructure A serious problem that manifests because of the lack of proper infrastructure is that barely 30 per cent of agricultural products in developing countries went through industrial processing as compared to 98% in high-income countries. Monitoring High-level progress reports for all the SDGs are published in the form of reports by the United Nations Secretary General, the most recent one is from April 2020. The report before that was from May 2019. Updates and progress can also be found on the SDG website that is managed by the United Nations. Facts and Figures In 2018, 96 per cent of the world's population lived within reach of a mobile-cellular signal, and 90 per cent of people could access the Internet through a third generation (3G) or higher-quality network. 16 per cent of the global population does not have access to mobile broadband networks. The global share of manufacturing value added in GDP increased from 15.2per cent in 2005 to 16.3per cent in 2017, driven by the fast growth of manufacturing in Asia. Least developed countries have immense potential for industrialization in food and beverages (agro-industry), and textiles and garments, with good prospects for sustained employment generation and higher productivity In 2019, the amount of new renewable power capacity added (excluding large hydro) was the highest ever, at 184 gigawatts, 20GW more than in 2018. This included 118GW of new solar systems,
