2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

“plan of action for people, planet

and prosperity”

“we pledge that

no one will be

left behind”

“We are determined to take the

bold and transformative steps …

to shift the world onto a

sustainable and resilient path”

“This is an Agenda of unprecedented

scope and significance … These are

universal goals and targets which

involve the entire world, developed

and developing countries alike”

▪ September 2015 - All 193 UN Member States adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable, including 17 SDGs and 169 targets

▪ Each government to fashion its own targets “guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances”

▪ FAO prominent among UN agency SDG support to countries; based on broad priorities in the 2030 Agenda

The Countries’ Agenda

Millennium Development Goals MDGs• UN-led

• 8 goals and 21 targets, focusing on poverty reduction

• Relevant to low income countries

• 2 water and sanitation targets under MDG 7

• 3 core indicators on water and sanitation

• Monitoring through household surveys

Sustainable Development Goals SDGs• Country-led

• 17 goals and 169 targets, focusing on the three pillars of sustainable development

• Relevant to all countries

• 8 water and sanitation targets under SDG 6

• 11 core indicators on water and sanitation

• Monitoring by national authorities, feeding into regional and global reporting

5

Effective monitoring, review and follow-up process critical to success

of 2030 Agenda

➨ 230 indicators identified to monitor the 169 targets

➨ SDG indicators tiered (I, II, III) depending on stage of development

Scale of indicators - challenge for countries

➨ About 4 times more indicators for SDGs than MDGs

➨ Disaggregated by gender, age, income, geography, occupation etc.

Only SDG indicators agreed by UN Member States are used to assess

progress at global level

Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 67

Global indicator frameworkRoles and responsibilities

• Countries

• Collect and make available data and metadata for the purpose of global reporting

• Regional mechanism

• Facilitate data and metadata transmission from national to global levels as appropriate

• Custodian agencies

• Compile and verify country data and metadata, support countries in their monitoring efforts, develop recommended methodologies

• United Nations Statistics Division

• Publish data and metadata to inform HLPF

• UN-Water/Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6

• Gather custodian agencies for SDG 6 indicators, to ensure coherent and integrated efforts

Follow-up and reviewGlobal level

• Global review every year in the High Level Political Forum (HLPF)

• Thematic review – focus on specific SDGs

• 2016 Ensuring that no one is left behind

• 2017 Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world

• 2018 Transformation toward sustainable and resilient societies

• 2019 Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality

• Also review of means of implementation and global partnership

• Voluntary National Reviews • each country reviewed two

times in during the SDG period

• Annual SDG Progress Report• data on global indicators,

aggregated to major regions • annual requests for data• reporting frequency not

specified

“Follow-up and review processes at all levels … voluntary and

country-led ... the outcome from national level processes will be the

foundation for reviews at the regional and global levels … global

review will be primarily based on national official data sources”

Objectives of the Integrated Monitoring Initiative

1. Develop methodologies and tools to monitor SDG 6 global indicators

2. Raise awareness at national and global levels about SDG 6 monitoring

3. Enhance country capacity in monitoring (technical and institutional)

4. Compile country data and report on global progress towards SDG 6

From global goals to national plans

The SDGs are shaping national development plans. Countries are now:

➢ Integrating SDGs to national plans, “guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances”

➢ Securing local participation for greater policy ownership

➢ Developing innovative partnerships and mobilizing means of implementation

➢ Defining ways to measure progress and strengthening statistical capacity

Objectives of the workshop• To describe the methodologies for the computation of the indicators of the

SDG target 6.4, and discuss their implementation in the participant countries.

• To discuss the institutional arrangements needed in the different countries for the implementation of the SDG monitoring system.

• To define the next steps that will be needed in order to have data from the countries, according to the timeframe defined by the SDG process.

• To identify needs and opportunities for further support from FAO to the participant countries, including establishing synergies with existing projects and programs, as well as identifying new possibilities at regional and national level.

Expected results

• Improved knowledge of methodologies for the evaluation of indicators 6.4.1 and 6.4.2.

• A better understanding of the SDG framework and reporting process

• A direct experience of compiling the indicators, through a simulation work that will be done in the workshop

• A draft work plan, to be discussed in their own countries, for the collection of data and the calculation of the indicators for the year 2020.
