UNSD-FCDO Project on SDG Monitoring

Make SDG data open and available to the widest possible audience

National SDG monitoring arrangements

This area includes information on the development of national indicator frameworks and tools to support data sharing

SDMX data modelling

Standardizing SDG data through SDMX provides more flexibility for NSOs & facilitates data sharing

SDG metadata

Metadata are key to understanding the SDG indicators and the underlying data.

National reporting platforms

Countries have developed SDG reporting platforms to help increase the accessibility of data for users

User engagement & dissemination

Effective user engagement and dissemination are key to maximising the value of data

Data innovation

Countries are increasingly using innovative data sources and methods to increase the availability of data for the SDGs

The UNSD-FCDO Project supported twenty countries in Africa and Asia in strengthening their capacity in the compilation and use of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators and making SDG data and indicators available to users, including decision and policy makers. The project ran from 2017-2022 and was funded with UK aid from the British people.

The project provided direct technical assistance, training and capacity development, local and international consultancies, and other forms of support to the project countries to achieve the overall goal of effective monitoring of SDGs and improved evidence-based policy making. In doing so, a wide range of tools and resources to support SDG monitoring were developed. This website brings together the materials developed with other resources used by the project into a single place, to make them available to both project countries and others who wish to develop their work on SDG monitoring.
