SDG Target #16.8

SDG #16 is to “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”

Within SDG #16 are 12 targets, of which we here focus on Target 16.8:

Broaden and strengthen the participation of developing countries in the institutions of global governance

Target 16.8 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 16.8.1: Proportion of members and voting rights of developing countries in international organizations

Target 16.8 mirrors Target 10.6 in its focus on participation of developing countries in international organisations. Indicator 16.8.1 uses the same institutions as its measure, making its results a duplicate of 10.6.1.
