1 Global, regional and national SDG follow-up and review processes Yongyi Min UN Statistics Division/DESA

2 Follow-up and reviews National voluntary presentations: with or without national indicators High-level Political Forum SDG Global Progress Report Financing for Development Forum: Additional indicators on FFD Thematic reviews: based on thematic indicators National SDG reports: Based on national indicators Regional reviews: Based on regional and/ or global indicators

3 Indicator Framework Mandate Agenda 2030 (A/Res/70/1) : The Goals and targets will be followed up and reviewed using a set of global indicators. These will be complemented by indicators at the regional and national levels which will be developed by Member States, The global indicator framework, to be developed by the Inter- Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators, will be agreed by the Statistical Commission

4 Inter-agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) The IAEG-SDGs was tasked with: Developing the global indicator framework Providing technical support for implementation Regularly reviewing methodological developments, the indicators and their metadata Regularly reviewing capacity-building activities Composition of the IAEG-SDGs: 27 representatives of national statistical offices (plus the Chair of the Statistical Commission as ex-officio member) and include, as observers, other member states, representatives of regional commissions, and regional and international agencies

5 The Global Indicator Framework The Global Indicator Framework for the SDGs was developed by the IAEG-SDGs in an open and transparent manner involving all stakeholders Resolution on data and statistics for the 2030 Agenda, including the global indicator framework, was adopted by the Statistical Commission in March 2017, then by ECOSOC in 7 June and the GA in 6 July The global indicators will be yearly refined and comprehensively reviewed by the UNSC 51st session in 2020 and its 56th session in 2025.

6 The Global Indicator Framework The agreed global indicator framework, including refinements, contains 232 unique indicators, addressing each and every one of the Goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. A tier system for the SDG indicators was developed for the implementation: Tier I: Indicator is conceptually clear, has an internationally established methodology and standards are available, and data are regularly produced by countries for at least 50 per cent of countries and of the population in every region where the indicator is relevant. Tier II: Indicator is conceptually clear, has an internationally established methodology and standards are available, but data are not regularly produced by countries. Tier III: No internationally established methodology or standards are yet available for the indicator, but methodology/standards are being (or will be) developed or tested.

7 Three Tiers of indicators Global reporting is currently based on Tier I and a few Tier II indicators (where regional aggregates are possible) Capacity building efforts will focus on Tier II Methodological work is taking place on approximately one third of the indicators (Tier III)

8 Global indicators are for global review and follow-up The Agenda is our shared plan to transform the world in fifteen years and, crucially, to build lives of dignity for all Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Overview of all 17 Goals using data currently available to highlight the most significant gaps and challenges. In order to fulfill the promise of the 2030 Agenda, building of national statistical capacity will be essential.

Few of the current indicators are able to shed light on the particular situation of migrants, refugees, older persons, persons with disabilities, minorities or indigenous peoples.

13 Global indicators are complemented by national and regional indicators SDGs are integrated into national development plans/frameworks ( domestication of SDGs) Decisions on national indicators are driven by national priorities National indicators are aligned with global indicators to the extent possible

17 Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data Framework for the design and implementation of country-led statistical capacity building activities necessary to achieve the 2030 Agenda Adopted by Statistical Commission at its 48th Session Proposes key actions in six strategic areas: 1. Coordination and strategic leadership 2. Innovation and modernization of NSS 3. Basic statistical activities and programmes 4. Data dissemination and use 5. Multi-stakeholder partnerships 6. Resource mobilization
