persons and persons affectedby disaster per 100,000 people

*Lacking at least one of
the following: access to
improved water, access
to improved sanitation
facilities, sufficient living
area, durable housing,
and security of tenure)
Interrelatedness of SDGs & implications for monitoring
Monitoring and evaluability of SDG 16 progress is
constrained by both definitional and data issues
TARGETS ARE BROAD IN SCOPE
Operationalization challenges Measurement challengesConceptual and definitional
challenges
National statistics has an uneven sectoral focus, and limitations in
collecting governance data
11
• National statistical systems are not geared to produce governance performance data
• Sparse data on functioning of the institutions and governance
• Greater reliance on international data and perception surveys
• One off governance risk assessments
Limited governance performance data
• More focus on high priority government reporting areas (MDG areas, for example)
• Coordination of the sectoral statistics is weak
Sectoral data capacities limited to a few areas
• Modernization of statistical systems evolving
• Yet to optimize on big data/real-time dataYet to optimize available
technology
There are many competing international development indicators and
databases
▪ International indicators and indices
while provide additional insights are
not always perceived to be useful to
monitor progress or inform public
policies
▪ Most countries contested results of
international composite indices
• Given the data time lag, the relevance of the global MPI as a global comparator is considered as limited
• Global MPI indicators when applied to some country contexts are considered flawed —disagreement in the use of deprivation indicators

Evaluation supports increasingly complex public policy
environment
15
• Evaluation helps effect change.
• Provides the basis for bringing about change that is
legitimate (independent, informed, credible and useful).
• Fosters democratic processes (transparency and
accountability).
• Professionalizes and modernizes government through its
networking ability – integrated function and largely
respected (UNDP – NEC series).
