Industry, Innovation And Infrastructure - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9

The UN explains: "Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy, and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries. It has long been recognized that growth in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment in infrastructure."

The UN has defined 8 Targets and 12 Indicators for SDG 9. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Target 9.C: Universal access to information and communications technology

UN definition: "Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in the least developed countries by 2020."

Development assistance for infrastructure - SDG Indicator 9.C.1

Definition: Indicator 9.C.1 is the "proportion of the population covered by a mobile network, by technology".

There are two technology types featured for this indicator: the number of mobile cellphone subscriptions (per 100 people), and the share of a given population using the internet (on any device).

Goal: "Strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in the least developed countries by 2020".

Unlike most SDG targets which are set for the year 2030, this indicator is set for 2020.
