work towards
Aim for steadily
To work towards something is to make effort in pursuit of a goal that remains some distance away: We're working towards a solution, She's been working towards her degree for three years.
The phrase emphasizes gradual progress rather than immediate achievement—the destination matters, but so does the sustained effort to get there.
