Template of Action Plan and Methodological Guidelines for

Data Generation and Disaggregation for Monitoring and Evaluation of SDGs

Local Group Classification:

Group 1 : Indicators already produced by NSS and data exist for baseline report (preferably Year 1 = 2016)

Group 2 : Indicators in an ongoing process or could be produced within the NSDS up to 2023

Group 3 : Indicators needing more efforts ( methods, financing, etc. )

Way Forward

Financial and Technical Support from DPs are needed to generate new andupdated data.

Seeking to technical support from Custodian Agencies and DevelopmentPartners for methodological capacity development.

Strengthening Capacity Building of SDG Cell, BBS for expediting datamanagement for SDGs.

Supporting SDG Cell to update and publish the ‘Action Plan andMethodological Guidelines for Data Generation and Disaggregation forMonitoring and Evaluation of SDGs’.

Supporting Small Area Estimation for Data Disaggregation.
