Moreover, for the SDGs to be successfully implemented, effective and targeted capacity-building

                  in   developing   countries   has   to   be   enabled   and   supported   internationally.
                  Yet, the enablement of sustainable development is not exclusively a task of the public sphere, but
                  requires the contribution of the private sector and civil society alike. Public, private and civil actors
                  need to join forces and engage in strong and effective multi-stakeholder partnerships with the aim
                  of sharing knowledge, technology and resources. Ultimately, progress on the SDGs can only be

                  identified and measured if comprehensive and reliable data is available. In order to realize this, it
                  is key to enable developing countries to collect data and analyze it using scientific methods.
                      ●  Trends related to SDG 17

                         •   Rising debt burdens of developing countries, fuelled by COVID-19 pandemic

                         •   Rebounding  global  foreign  direct  investment  flows  exceeding  the  pre-pandemic
                             level, mainly for the benefit of developed countries; only modest FDI growth in the
                             poorest countries

                         •   Increasing official development assistance provided by developed countries since
                             2015; yet, donor countries still do not reach their target of dedicating 0.7% of GNI to
                             ODA

                         •   Increasing global use of the Internet especially driven by developing countries: 54%

                             of the world population using the Internet in 2019 compared to 63% in 2021

                         •   Stagnating  funding  for  data  and  statistics  at  0.3%  of  ODA;  Funding  of  statistical
                             activities in areas other than health de-prioritized

                      ●  Key action themes
                         •   Re-aligning financial resources and mobilizing new financial resources for reaching
                             the goals

                         •   Using scientific methods to analyse data and develop technologies for SDGs

                         •   Developing capacities

                         •   Strengthening partnerships and commitment with dialogue
