Official Development Assistance and SDG Target 8.7

United Nations University, September 2018.

The report offers the most detailed and robust analysis available about countries' development spending commitments to achieve Target 8.7 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With Target 8.7, 193 countries pledged their commitment to take effective measures to eradicate forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking by 2030 and child labour by 2025. The report analyses and visualizes how official development assistance (ODA)—government aid that promotes and specifically targets the economic development and welfare of developing countries—was committed, by whom, on what and where.
