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.
