Partnerships for the goals</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The SDGs can only be realized with a strong commitment to global partnership and cooperation. While official development assistance from developed countries increased by 66 percent between 2000 and 2014, 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.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These inclusive partnerships built upon principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre, are needed at the global, regional, national and local level.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite advances in certain areas, more needs to be done to accelerate progress. All stakeholders will have to refocus and intensify their efforts on areas where progress has been slow. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read our stories to learn more about SDG Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals</span></p> </div> </div> <ul class="eb-sdg-nav-list"> <li class="eb-sdg eb-sdg-nav-list__sdg"> <a href="/sustainable-development-goals/no-poverty/" title="1.
