SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
As part of the Agenda 2030, the sustainable development goal 17 aims to strengthen the means
of implementation and to revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development. With this
mission, SDG 17 serves as enabler and support for SDGs 1 to 16, as all environmental, societal,
and economic goals can only be achieved if powerful means for their implementation are put into
effect.
● SDG 17 as enabler for sustainable development
Enabling sustainable development comprises mobilizing financial resources from multiple
sources, as well as managing developing countries‘ debt. Financial resources for developing
countries need to be mobilized both domestically and abroad. From a domestic perspective,
developing countries are supposed to strengthen their capacity for revenue collection. Developed
countries, on the other hand, have to fulfill their official development assistance (ODA)
commitments. In addition, an open, multi-lateral trading system based on the rules of the WTO is
supposed to empower developing countries to increasingly participate in world trade.
Technology as another enabling factor for the SGDs is twofold. Transfering technologies, sharing
access to knowledge, science and innovation and building technological capacities in developing
countries aims to facilitate the implementation of SDGs 1 to 16. Besides that, a steadily increasing
use of technology, especially of information and communications technology, in developing
countries is by itself regarded as an indicator of progress on sustainable development.
