GOAL 8:
DEVELOP A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT
Target 8.A:
Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system
Official development assistance hit a record high of $134.8 billion in 2013.
Aid shifted away from the poorest countries where attainment of the MDGs often lags the most.
Target 8.B:
Address the special needs of least developed countries
Net bilateral aid to Africa (where 34 of the 48 least developed countries are located) fell by 5.6 per cent in 2013, to $28.9 billion in real terms.
Eighty per cent of imports from developing countries enter developed countries duty-free.
Target 8.C:
Address the special needs of landlocked developing countries and small island developing States
Aid to landlocked developing countries fell in 2010 for the first time in a decade, while aid to small island developing States increased substantially.
