JHEP advances SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), Indicator 17.2.5

Pauh, Perlis — The Student Affairs Department (JHEP), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) is strengthening cross-sector collaboration to accelerate SDG outcomes. Working with NGOs and community groups, JHEP mobilises student volunteers, supports applied engagement, and delivers community education that connects campus expertise to real needs.

Student Volunteering with Community Partners

Under SUKA Perlis, UniMAP deployed 300 student volunteers to serve 1,000 community beneficiaries, coordinated with 30 student secretariat members and 6 clubs/associations (HEPA Annual Report 2024, p. 33). This scalable volunteering infrastructure enables multi-stakeholder projects that respond quickly and responsibly to community priorities.

SDG-Mapped Outreach & Learning

Titian Budi 4.0 (23–30 March 2024) is explicitly aligned with SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 16, and SDG 17, integrating outreach, knowledge transfer, and community learning (p. 25). These activities connect students to field-based problem-solving while building local capacity through awareness and educational sessions.

Funding & Agency Partners

Outreach is sustained with partner support such as Zakat Tabung Haji (p. 31). Strategic co-funding and agency collaboration allow JHEP to scale student and community participation while maintaining programme quality and continuity.
