The document discusses the global indicator framework for monitoring the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It notes that the UN Statistical Commission is responsible for developing the framework and established an expert group to approve 230 indicators across 169 SDG targets. The indicators are classified into three tiers based on data availability. Each indicator has an international organization assigned as "custodian" responsible for data collection and reporting. The document outlines FAO's role as custodian for 20 indicators, including two on genetic resources for food and agriculture. It describes FAO's commitments to contribute data and reporting to help improve monitoring and statistical capacity.
Monitoring of progress for follow-up and review
- 1. THE GLOBAL INDICATOR FRAMEWORK TO MONITOR THE 2030 AGENDA FOR Dorian Kalamvrezos Navarro
- 2. THE GLOBAL INDICATOR FRAMEWORK UN Statistical Commission (UNSC) responsible for developing SDG monitoring framework • Established an Inter-Agency Expert Group on SDG indicators (IAEG- SDG) • 28 countries as members, representing regions; International organizations only as observers 47th UNSC (8-11 March 2016) approved the global indicator framework for the 2030 Agenda “as a practical starting point” • 230 unique indicators to monitor progress towards the 169 SDG targets • Requested the IAEG-SDGs to continue refining them • First complete revision of the SDG indicators in 2020
- 3. 3RD IAEG-SDG: MAIN OUTCOMES • Classification of indicators into 3 Tiers Based on the level of methodological development and data availability Preliminary Tier categorization to be reviewed by the IAEG-SDG by 29/07 • Global versus national indicators Global indicators as core set of metrics that all countries are invited to monitor Global indicators can be complemented with national or thematic indicators; but alignment of national and global indicators in the best interest of countries • Each indicator to have an Int. Organization as “custodian”, responsible for: collecting data from national sources and disseminating them at global level
- 4. 3RD IAEG-SDG: MAIN OUTCOMES (cont.) Global reporting mechanism: Data to be produced by national institutions, except in some cases (but data to be validated by countries) International organizations responsible to collect national data, harmonize them, aggregate them at regional and global level and transmit them to the IAEG-SDG Secretariat Global annual SDG progress report: An official Secretary General’s report (released 30 June 2016) A ‘glossy’ report with charts and key messages (launch expected 19 July 2016) 2016 reports will draw on Tier I indicators and in some cases Tier II
- 5. FAO’S ROLE IN MONITORING THE SDGs 20 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship (across SDGs 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15) and contributing to further 5 indicators • compares to only 4 indicators monitored by FAO in the MDG process • 10/20 indicators in the Tier III category Two SDG indicators directly relevant to the CGRFA: 2.5.1 Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in medium or long term conservation facilities (provisionally Tier III) 2.5.2 Proportion of local breeds, classified as being at risk, not-at-risk or unknown level of risk of extinction (provisionally Tier II) It is imperative that all national data providers for both these indicators report to FAO regularly such as to ensure sufficient quality and quantity of data and therefore the upgrading of these indicators to Tier I
- 6. CORPORATE COORDINATION Coordination at corporate level through the Chief Statistician • IDWG on Statistics sub-group on FAO-relevant SDG indicators established • entry point for all requests for technical assistance from FAO Country/Regional Offices • Focal point for 2.5.1 Mr. Stefano Diulgheroff • Focal point for 2.5.2 Ms. Roswitha Baumung • Focal Points designated as responsible for leading the work on the indicator identified under FAO’s custodianship • Close coordination with corporate task team on the 2030 Agenda (DDN/ES-ADG)
- 7. FAO COMMITMENTS: NEXT STEPS Contribution to the IAEG-SDG (next meeting in October 2016): • Storylines and data for global SDG reports submitted in April-May 2016 • New standardized metadata documentation by 24 June 2016 • Detailed action plan for Tier III indicators by 29 July 2016 Corporate Plan for Statistical Capacity Development : • Training programmes to roll-out guidelines/manuals developed by the HQ statistics units; • To further improve and develop DAD-IS the following activities are foreseen: • Improving the user-friendliness of data entry into DAD-IS and developing reporting tools that allow directly linking to indicators 2.5.1
