Assessing The Role Of Goal 17 In Implementing The Sdgs In Ethiopia

This study assesses the contributions of Goal 17-Global Partnership to the implementation of the SDGs in Ethiopia and analyzes their impacts on the country‟s overall development. A qualitative research methodology is used in the course of collecting and analyzing data by employing both primary and secondary sources as a method of data collection. Key informant interviews with policymakers, implementers (relevant government officers), and various institutions yielded primary data.rnThe findings of the study have shown that global partnerships play a critical role in ensuring the development goals that Ethiopia is set to achieve by 2030. To start with, Ethiopia‟s development partners play an important role in providing funding for poverty reduction. Next, in Ethiopia, the availability of sound policies and a favorable environment plays a critical role in laying the groundwork for development initiatives and goals. In this regard, the constitution encourages collaborative development that complements global and regional development goals. Likewise, global cooperation assists development in Ethiopia in the establishment of a single plan and reporting system by reducing the proliferation and duplication of efforts in project implementation. Furthermore, as a driving engine for the SD, Ethiopia has been focusing on domestic resource mobilization as a means to support rapid economic growth, which plays a pivotal role in fueling the economy and ensuring the long-term sustainability of growth. Finally, last but not least, to achieve the SDGs in Ethiopia, there are gaps in global coordination structures and stakeholder interactions that are very poor and not adequately devolved to the local government level.rnTherefore, achieving SDGs in Ethiopia in cooperation with global partners is significant to improving the country‟s competitiveness in the global market. Similarly, increase the rate of project implementation and resource utilization to encourage development partners. Also, promote regional blocks to reduce trade barriers and to integrate into regional and global value chains. Furthermore, to strengthen national unity, guarantee policy independence, and the right to use natural resources for development. Finally, active diplomatic engagement for the delivery of committed finance and to ease debt repayment obligations is also important.
