SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”

Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.6:

Enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international cooperation on and access to science, technology and innovation and enhance knowledge-sharing on mutually agreed terms, including through improved coordination among existing mechanisms, in particular at the United Nations level, and through a global technology facilitation mechanism

Target 17.6 has one indicator:

• Indicator 17.6.1: Fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, by speed

Worldwide, there were 18 landline internet subscriptions per 100 people, up from 11 in 2015. Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia and Central America have less than 5 per 100 people.
