SDG 17

Access to science, technology and innovation must be available to all countries. The role of international cooperation is crucial to transfer this knowledge from more developed countries to less developed countries so that they can increase their capacity to develop.

Partnerships for the Goals

How can we ensure that the SDGs are realised in all countries?

According to the World Bank, countries can be classified into four categories based on their gross national income per capita:

• Low-income countries

The criteria for what does and does not constitute ODA have been defined within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (Ferreira, P. M., 2015).

Developed countries should fully implement their ODA commitments including channeling 0.7% of Gross National Income to developing countries.

It was developed in response to the strong criticism of the use of GDP to measure development and its inability to account for the dimension of human living conditions. The HDI is made up of indicators in three broad dimensions:

• education and knowledge
• economic conditions of subsistence.

The United Nations has been monitoring progress on the SDGs through a statistical index, which encompasses several dimensions now associated with development, including environmental issues, but also others.
