Global Partnership

The eighth goal is to Develop a Global Partnership for Development.

Targets

  • Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system (includes a commitment to good governance, development, and poverty reduction - both nationally and internationally).
  • Address the special needs of the Least Developed Countries (Includes: tariff and quota free access for LDC exports; enhanced programme of debt relief for HIPC and cancellation of official bilateral debt; and more generous ODA for countries committed to poverty reduction).
  • Address the special needs of landlocked countries and small island developing
    States (through Barbados Programme and 22nd General Assembly provisions).
  • Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries through
    national and international measures in order to make debt sustainable in the long term.

Indicators

Official Development Assistance
  • Net ODA as percentage of DAC donors' GNI [targets of 0.7% in total and 0.15% for LDCs]
  • Proportion of ODA to basic social services (basic education, primary health care, nutrition, safe water and sanitation)
  • Proportion of ODA that is untied
  • Proportion of ODA for environment in small island developing states
  • Proportion of ODA for transport sector in land-locked countries
 
Market Access
  • Proportion of exports (by value and excluding arms) admitted free of duties and quotas
  • Average tariffs and quotas on agricultural products and textiles and clothing
  • Domestic and export agricultural subsidies in OECD countries
  • Proportion of ODA provided to help build trade capacity
 
Debt Sustainability
  • Proportion of official bilateral HIPC debt cancelled
  • Debt service as a percentage of exports of goods and services
  • Proportion of ODA provided as debt relief
  • Number of countries reaching HIPC decision and completion points

Some of the indicators listed above will be monitored separately for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Africa, landlocked countries and small island developing states.
