COVID-19 risks rolling back SDG progress

(excluding income support measures) compared to 2019

SDG Data Availability has improved, yet gaps remain

• More than half of all the SDG indicators have sufficient data for tracking progress in the subregion

• Data gaps remain mainly in environment-related goals (SDG 11,12,13,14)

• Importance to accelerate production of disaggregated data so that vulnerable populations are identified,

and no one is left behind6
