Sustainable Development Goal 17

 Sustainable Development Goal 17


Sustainable Development Goal 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

The 17th and final goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to enhance international cooperation and support for developing countries to achieve their development objectives. This goal recognizes that no country can tackle the complex and interconnected challenges of our time alone, and that a shared vision and collective action are essential for a peaceful and prosperous world.

The goal has 19 targets and 25 indicators that cover various aspects of global partnership, such as finance, trade, technology, capacity-building, policy coherence, data, monitoring and accountability. Some of the key targets include:

- Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from multiple sources
- Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries in trade agreements
- Enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international cooperation on science, technology and innovation
- Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology, to promote the empowerment of women
- Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system
- Enhance global macroeconomic stability, including through policy coordination and policy coherence
- Enhance the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts

Achieving SDG 17 requires strong political commitment, effective coordination and collaboration among all stakeholders at all levels. It also requires adequate and predictable financing, innovative solutions, knowledge sharing and mutual learning. The United Nations plays a vital role in facilitating and supporting these efforts, as well as in monitoring and reviewing progress and challenges.

As the world faces unprecedented crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and rising inequalities, SDG 17 becomes even more relevant and urgent. The pandemic has exposed the fragility of our global system and the need for solidarity and multilateralism. It has also highlighted the importance of investing in resilient and inclusive societies that can withstand shocks and recover better. The Decade of Action to deliver the SDGs by 2030 calls for accelerated actions and transformative pathways to achieve the 17 goals and their interlinked targets. SDG 17 is at the heart of this endeavor, as it provides the framework and the means to make it happen.
