Millennium Development Goals

Goal 8 - Develop a global partnership for development

Led by debt relief, development assistance increases sharply but still falls short of targets
TARGET
Address the special needs of the least developed countries, landlocked countries and small island developing States
TARGET
Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system
Three quarters of exports from developing countries now enter developed markets duty-free
TARGET
Deal comprehensively with developing countries’ debt
Debt service burdens decrease, but for many poor countries even these levels are too high
TARGET
In cooperation with developing countries, develop and implement strategies for decent and productive work for youth
Job prospects for youth have declined in most regions
TARGET
In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries
TARGET
In cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications
Access to information and communication technologies grows steadily, but 'digital divide' persists
