U.S. Foreign Assistance Support to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

About

All United Nations Member States adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, and the United States remains unwavering in our commitment to their achievement by 2030. This page visualizes how U.S. Foreign Assistance supports developing countries in their efforts to achieve the SDGs, or supports achievement of global SDG targets. The methodology matches activities’ previously-identified and reported International Sector Classifications (see “Sector - International” on the Glossary page) and additional descriptive information, as appropriate, for the SDGs.

The visualization in each SDG tile below includes the total dollar amounts supporting the SDG, the proportion of that total that exclusively supports the SDG, the proportion that supports the SDG and one or more other SDGs (see cautionary note), and the number of activities (see “Activity” on the Glossary page) that support the SDG. Fiscal year (starting from 2016) and funding phase (Obligations and Disbursements) must be selected. The selection default is to the most recent fiscal year of data available and Obligations. These data may be downloaded as a CSV file.

CAUTION: The dollar values shown on this page should never be summed across SDGs as all values are not discrete. A single activity or transaction may support one or multiple SDGs. There are some Foreign Assistance activities that are not attributable to any SDG, and those are not included in the data on this page.
