Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe SDGs cannot be achieved without partnerships, as sustainable solutions will not come from one sector acting in isolation[footnote]Global Affairs Canada. (2018). Canada\u2019s Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: voluntary national review<\/a>.[\/footnote]. The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation. A successful development agenda requires inclusive partnerships, at the global, regional, national, and local levels, built upon a shared vision and shared goals placing people and the planet at the centre.\n\nOfficial development assistance (ODA) is government aid that promotes and specifically targets the economic development and welfare of developing countries. The ODA is the \u201cgold standard\u201d of foreign aid and remains the main source of financing for development aid. Many countries require ODA to encourage growth and trade. Yet, aid levels are falling, and donor countries have not lived up to their pledge to ramp up development finance[footnote]United Nations. (2021). Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>.[\/footnote]. Strong international cooperation is needed now more than ever to ensure that countries have the means to recover from the pandemic, build back better and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\nPartnerships, innovative financing, science and technology transfers and data transparency are just some of the ways progress on SDG #17 will be achieved. The 2030 Agenda on sustainable development is a critical opportunity to reassess existing approaches and pursue new partnerships.\n\nFast Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n \t- ODA from members rose to an all-time high of USD 161.2 billion in 2020, up 3.5% from 2019;<\/li>\n \t
- Developing countries have benefited from global partnerships as around 79% of imports from developing nations have entered other countries duty-free, which saves them a significant amount of money;<\/li>\n \t
- External debt of developing economies reached 31% of their GDP in 2020;<\/li>\n \t
- Trade, foreign direct investment, and remittances are declining globally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n[h5p id=\"52\"]\n
Why it Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhy should I care about partnerships for the SDGs?\n\nWe are all in this together. The 2030 Agenda is a universal and calls for action by all countries, both developed countries and developing countries, to ensure no one is left behind.\n\n[h5p id=\"53\"]\nTargets and Indicators for Canada<\/strong><\/h2>\nBelow is Canada\u2019s approach to measuring progress on SDG #17 \u2013 Partnerships for the Goals.
