Finances
17.1 Strengthen the mobilization of domestic resources, including through international support to developing countries, to improve national capacity for tax and other revenue collection.
17.2 Developed countries fully implement their commitments regarding official development assistance [ODA], including providing 0.7% of gross national income [GNI] in ODA to developing countries, of which 0.15% to 0.20% should go to least developed countries; ODA providers are encouraged to consider setting a target of providing at least 0.20% of gross national income in ODA to least developed countries.
17.3 Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from multiple sources.
17.4 Assist developing countries in achieving long-term debt sustainability through coordinated policies aimed at promoting debt financing, reduction and restructuring, as appropriate, and addressing the external debt of highly indebted poor countries to reduce over-indebtedness.
17.5 Adopt and implement investment promotion schemes for least developed countries.
Technology
17.6 Improve regional and international North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation and access to science, technology and innovation, and increase knowledge sharing on mutually agreed terms, including through improved coordination among existing mechanisms, particularly at the United Nations level, and through a global technology facilitation mechanism.
17.7 Promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favorable terms, including on concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed.
17.8 Fully operationalize the Technology Bank and the capacity-building mechanism in science, technology and innovation for least developed countries by 2017, and increase the use of enabling technologies, in particular information and communication technologies.
Training

Business
17.10 Promote a universal, rules-based, open, non-discriminatory and equitable multilateral trading system within the framework of the World Trade Organization, including through the conclusion of negotiations under its Doha Development Agenda.
17.11 Significantly increase exports from developing countries, in particular with the aim of doubling the share of least developed countries in global exports by 2020.
17.12 Achieve the timely and lasting implementation of quota- and duty-free market access for all least developed countries, in accordance with WTO decisions, including by ensuring that preferential rules of origin applicable to imports from least developed countries are transparent and simple and contribute to facilitating market access.

17.17 Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships, based on the experience of resource mobilization strategies from these partnerships.
Data, monitoring and accountability
17.18 By 2020, enhance capacity-building support for developing countries, including least developed countries and small island developing States, to significantly increase the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts.
17.19 By 2030, build on existing initiatives to develop measures of progress on sustainable development that complement gross domestic product [GDP] and support statistical capacity building in developing countries.
