| Speaker | Ms. Tiina Ligue | Switzerland | The sustainability journey in official statistics began some time ago and has been continued with the aim to address pressing demand for relevant information. SDGs make nowadays a vital, overarching element of the NSOs’ development strategies. Following the example of Statistics Poland, the intervention will set the scene for the session, outlining management issues and commitment to meet various users’ needs while planning development-related activities. | Providing data for SDGs is a major coordination challenge. Global level data for the 231 SDG indicators is coming together from over 50 international organizations (the so-called custodian agencies) based on data from 193 countries. In each country, the data comes from many agencies in the national statistical system but also from outside the system, often from over 30-40 national agencies. The paper will explain the context of this major undertaking and summarise the UNECE activities to support SDG measurement in cooperation with NSOs. |
| Speaker | Ms. Sara Frankl | Sweden | “SD-what?” The UNECE’s Road Map on SDG statistics | The UNECE Steering Group on SDG statistics has compiled a Road Map to support countries and other actors in the work on producing and using SDG-related statistics. The second edition of the Road Map has just been finalised. The paper will present the content of the Road Map and how it can be used. It will also describe the Steering Group’s work leading up to the finalised product and the work on its extensive and efficient implementation. |
| Speaker | Mr. Pietro Gennari | Italy | Reporting on progress towards the SDG targets: the perspective of a custodian agency | After a review of country practices in assessing SDG progress in their VNRs, FAO will present its methodology for measuring SDG progress and compare it with the one used by other regional and international organizations. The presentation will advocate for an harmonization of the methodologies for progress assessment in order to obtain comparable results at national and global levels. |
