Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Partnerships for the Goals aims to strengthen global partnerships for sustainable development. The goal recognises the need for collaboration and cooperation among governments, civil society, and the private sector to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Goal 17 focuses on enhancing international cooperation, capacity-building, and resource mobilisation to support developing countries in their efforts to achieve sustainable development. It calls for the promotion of multi-stakeholder partnerships, knowledge-sharing, and technology transfer. The goal emphasises the importance of fair and predictable trade and financial systems, as well as increased access to affordable technologies and knowledge.

Additionally, Goal 17 encourages the implementation of effective policies and strategies to support developing countries, including debt relief, investment promotion, and capacity-building initiatives.
