SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
Goal 17 seeks to strengthen global partnerships to support and achieve the ambitious targets of the 2030 Agenda, bringing together national governments, the international community, civil society, the private sector and other actors. Despite advances in certain areas, more needs to be done to accelerate progress. All stakeholders will have to refocus and intensify their efforts on areas where progress has been slow.

Project
Unlocking Potential
Globally, fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the income of around 800 million people, but overfishing is putting increasing pressure on local fish populations and marine biodiversity and threatening the livelihoods of many.

Fish and seafood are a critical part of the world’s diet, providing around 3.2 billion people with almost 20 per cent of their average intake of animal protein.
The 2020 SDG target is to effectively regulate harvesting, end overfishing and to implement science-based management plans, so fish stocks can be restored as quickly as possible. Also, SDG 5 calls for gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, which is particularly relevant to the fisheries sector, where worldwide, only 11 per cent of those working in the industry are women.
Led by Rare, and supported by KIT Royal Tropical Institute, this project aims to improve the livelihoods of at least 5,000 fishing households across 20 communities in Indonesia’s Southeast Sulawesi province. -
