Issues

• Lack of international indicators in monitoring of MDG indicators

• Lack of resources for more detailed sample surveys.

• Unreliability and poor quality of administrative data sources (HIV/AIDS and other transmitted diseases, environment, unemployment, ICTs, use of small samples).

MDG Monitoring: Perspectives

• Gradual incorporation of MDG indicators currently missing in the CDS Indicators Matrix into its structure.

• Improvement of dissemination and access to MDG indicators.

• Reporting of new indicators covering status of women and men in economy (access of women and men to resources: land ownership, real estate, information technologies).

• Update of indicators in line with new trends of labour migration, violence against women.
