Partnerships for the Goals

SDG 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation. Official Development Assistance remained steady but below target, at US$147 billion in 2017. While humanitarian crises brought on by conflict or natural disasters continue to demand more financial resources and aid. Many countries also require Official Development Assistance to encourage growth and trade.
