Report On SDG No - 17
Goal No. 17: Partnership for the goals: Goal No. 17 is about revitalizing the global
partnership for sustainable development. It requires partnerships between governments, the
private sector, and civil society of all countries, Developed and Developing. SDG 17
emphasizes the vital role of partnerships in addressing complex issues such as poverty,
inequality, climate change, and more. These partnerships are essential for driving innovation,
scaling up initiatives, and ensuring sustainable development efforts are effective and
inclusive on a global scale. Ultimately, SDG 17 recognizes that collective action and
collaboration are fundamental to achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Targets: The Goal has 17 targets to be achieved by 2030, broken down into five categories:1.
finance, 2. technology, 3. capacity building, 4. trade and 5. systemic issues.
17.3 Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from multiple sources
17.5 Adopt and implement investment promotion regimes for least developed countries
17.8 Fully operationalize the technology bank and science, technology and innovation
capacity-building mechanism for least developed countries by 2017 and enhance the use of
enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology.
17.9 Enhance international support for implementing effective and targeted capacity-
building in developing countries to support national plans to implement all the sustainable
development goals, including through North-South, South-South and triangular
cooperation.
17.11 Significantly increase the exports of developing countries, in particular with a view to
doubling the least developed countries’ share of global exports by 2020
17.12 Realize timely implementation of duty-free and quota-free market access on a lasting
basis for all least developed countries, consistent with World Trade Organization decisions,
including by ensuring that preferential rules of origin applicable to imports from least
developed countries are transparent and simple, and contribute to facilitating market access.
17.13 Enhance global macroeconomic stability, including through policy coordination and
policy coherence
17.14 Enhance policy coherence for sustainable development
17.15 Respect each country’s policy space and leadership to establish and implement policies
for poverty eradication and sustainable development
17.16 Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development, complemented by multi-
stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and
financial resources, to support the achievement of the sustainable development goals in all
countries, in particular developing countries
17.17 Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships,
building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships
Global Challenges: SDG 17, "Partnerships for the Goals," addresses several global challenges
that hinder the achievement of sustainable development. Global Conflict, climate change, the
lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global challenges are threatening to
derail hard-earned progress towards the SDGs. Data shows that about half of these targets
are moderately or severely off track; and over 30 per cent have either seen no movement or
regressed below the 2015 baseline.
Developing countries are grappling with an unprecedented rise in external debt levels
following the COVID-19 pandemic, compounded by challenges such as record inflation,
escalating interest rates etc. Official development assistance (ODA) flows continue to reach
record peaks; the increase in 2022 is primarily attributed to spending on refugees in donor
countries and aid to Ukraine. Despite a 65 per cent improvement in Internet access since
2015, progress in bridging the digital divide has slowed down post-pandemic. Geopolitical
tensions and the resurgence of nationalism hinder international cooperation and
coordination.
• In addition, the average overall tax burden or revenue in the form of taxes was 26%
of GDP among advanced economies and 17% of GDP amongst emerging market and
developing economies.
• The proportion of government expenditure funded by taxes has been stable within
each region and worldwide has tended to converge.
• Net ODA flows amounted to $206 billion in 2022, an increase of 15.3% from last
year). This is the highest growth rate in record, mainly due to domestic spending on
refugees and aid for Ukraine. However, total ODA as a percentage of GNI continues
to remain below the 0.7% target, reaching 0.36% in 2022.
