SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”
Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.15:
Respect each country’s policy space and leadership to establish and implement policies for poverty eradication and sustainable development
Target 17.15 has one indicator:
Indicator 17.15.1: Extent of use of country-owned results frameworks and planning tools by providers of development cooperation
Country-owned results frameworks describe how countries can define for themselves how to measure. For example, a developing country might develop a plan for how it intends to reduce poverty over the next 10 years. Donor countries can then take these plans of the developing country into account when providing aid to them. The country-owned results framework can guide the donor, rather than imposing its own designs on the recipient country.
On this measure, providers of development cooperation used 57% of country-owned results frameworks as of 2018.
