SDG Target #17.18
<p class="">SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”</p><p class="">Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.18:</p><p class="">By 2020, enhance capacity-building support to developing countries, including for least developed countries and small island developing States, to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts</p><p class="">Target 17.18 has three indicators:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="">Indicator 17.18.1: Statistical capacity indicators</p></li><li><p class="">Indicator 17.18.2: Number of countries that have national statistical legislation that complies with the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics</p></li><li><p class="">Indicator 17.18.3: Number of countries with a national statistical plan that is fully funded and under implementation, by source of funding</p></li></ul><p class="">Goals give us the inspiration. Targets within those Goals help break down the vast ambition, and the indicators give us a tool to measure what we aspire to. Yet we need data to inform those indicators. Without this statistical information, we cannot know how we’re progressing toward our goals.</p><p class="">Tools such as the<a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/statistical-performance-indicators"> <span>World Bank’s Statistical Performance Indicator</span></a> allow us to measure a country’s capacity to gather data. Whether in the form of surveys, censuses, or geospatial data, we need to ensure such information meets a standard. As many countries are in dire need of development, we can expect their capacity to collect data of their citizens is also hampered.</p><p class="">For example, how will we know we’re lifting the<a href="https://worldpoverty.io/"> <span>626 million</span></a> out of extreme poverty, or whether there’s a reversal, without good data? </p><p class="">Many countries in South America and Africa don't have statistics adherent to the<a href="https://unstats.un.org/unsd/dnss/gp/fundprinciples.aspx"> <span>UN Fundamental Principles</span></a> of data. In an irony, a couple dozen countries don’t have data for Indicator 17.8.2.</p><p class="">As of 2022, 156 countries have national statistical plans under implementation, 100 of which have full funding. Of these, the government fund 72 of them, 19 are from donors, and other sources finance 10.</p>

SDG Target #17.17
<p class="">SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”</p><p class="">Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.17:</p><p class="">Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships</p><p class="">Target 17.17 has one indicator:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="">Indicator 17.17.1: Amount in United States dollars committed to public-private partnerships for infrastructure</p></li></ul><p class="">Much of the aims of the SDGs involve infrastructure investments, such as for the energy transition or water projects. Governments can raise some of this investment money, but often it needs a combination of public and private finance. This is extra difficult when the major credit rating agencies hold unfavourable assessments of poor countries. This makes it more expensive for these governments to raise financing for crucial infrastructure.</p><p class="">Brazil, China, and India each raised more than $5 billion for public-private partnerships in 2022.</p>

SDG Target #17.16
<p class="">SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”</p><p class="">Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.16:</p><p class="">Enhance the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in all countries, in particular developing countries</p><p class="">Target 17.16 has one indicator:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="">Indicator 17.16.1: Number of countries reporting progress in multi-stakeholder development effectiveness monitoring frameworks that support the achievement of the sustainable development goals</p></li></ul><p class="">The Global Partnership for Sustainable Development spells out the essence of SDG #17. Goal #17 calls upon countries to help one another in achieving the Goals.</p><p class="">As of 2018, 36 countries who were recipients of knowledge and expertise in support of the SDGs were reporting progress in such frameworks. 20 of these were least developed countries. 20 countries were providing such help</p>
