UNSC53 side event: Achievements in national SDG monitoring

The countries across Africa and Asia involved in the UNSD-FCDO project have made significant
progress in their efforts to monitor the SDGs in recent years, increasing the availability of
disaggregated data, despite the continued challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This
event will showcase some of the achievements of the countries, including the development of
data platforms, the compilation of metadata, and user engagement. The session will also
highlight some of the resources that UNSD is making available to other countries beyond the
project, to support their own work on SDG monitoring.
This event will:
• Share country experiences of continuing to improve the availability and accessibility of
SDG data, including through the development of data platforms, engagement with users,
the use of innovative data sources and methods, and engaging data visualisation.
• Demonstrate the impact of partnerships and improved coordination across the NSS in
supporting national SDG monitoring.
• Highlight how the UNSD-FCDO project has provided tailored technical assistance to
project countries throughout the COVID-19 pandemic
