Summary

SDG Tracker is a dynamic policy tool for demonstrating SDGs' achievement internationally. 

In the past, various sector-based indicators were monitored and analyzed by collecting data manually once a year. In order to successfully meet the SDGs, measuring progress at a national level is not enough. We need to measure progress at the local level. At present, every three months, a meeting of the National Data Coordination Committee, which was formed under the direction of the Hon’ble Prime Minister and chaired by the Secretary of Statistical and Informatics Division, Ministry of Planning, is being held to monitor and analyze various SDG indicators through SDG Tracker.


It helps stakeholders, policymakers, government agencies, the private sector, civil society organizations, international organizations, or researchers to keep track of the progress against each target of the respective SDGs and prioritize resource allocation and service delivery accordingly. 


A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the ‘National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI)’ of Peru and a2i to establish a framework of cooperation in monitoring SDGs and different data initiatives through SDG Tracker.
