Goal 8 Develop a global partnership for development

The urgency to develop global partnerships for sustainable development is critical as official development assistance (ODA) from OECD-DAC countries has declined for the second consecutive year, jeopardizing vital commitments for 2010. Substantial increases in aid are necessary to double support to Africa. Meanwhile, market access remains limited for developing countries, overshadowed by rich countries' agricultural subsidies. Trade-related assistance needs enhancement, particularly for basic social services and essential medications, as well as initiatives to bridge the digital divide and improve communication infrastructure.
