Development Goal Indicators
Note by the Secretary-General
In accordance with Economic and Social Council decision 2015/216 and past practices, the
Secretary-General has the honour to transmit the report of the Inter-agency and Expert Group
on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators. The present report provides an overview of the
work of the Inter-agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators
(IAEG-SDGs) on the development of a global indicator framework for the goals and targets of
the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The report describes the activities undertaken by
the group since its establishment following a decision of the Statistical Commission at its 46
th
session. The report also presents a proposal of global indicators for follow-up and review of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The proposal includes indicators for all targets,
with some indicators already fully defined and a few requiring refinements following further

I.
Background
1.
The Statistical Commission at its forty-sixth session endorsed the formation of the Inter-agency
and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) and decided that the
proposed terms of reference (ToRs) would be revised based on the discussion at the session. It
emphasized that national statistical offices were to play the leading role in the development of the
indicator framework to ensure national ownership, and agreed that the IAEG-SDGs should include
representatives from national statistical offices, and as observers, representatives from national
statistical offices of countries non-member of the IAEG-SDGs, regional and international
organizations and agencies. Additionally, the ToRs noted the group would work in an open and
transparent manner. In order to ensure equitable regional representation and technical expertise, the
existing regional mechanisms were requested to nominate the members of the group. Finally, the
commission requested that the conclusions of the Expert Group Meeting on the Indicator Framework
for the Post-2015 Development Agenda, held on 25 and 26 February 2015, be taken into account by
the IAEG-SDGs in its programme of work.
2.
Following the Commission meeting, the 24 elected members of the Commission, taking into
account the discussion at the meeting, proposed a revision of the ToRs for the IAEG-SDGs to be used
in the interim, until the next Commission meeting (see Annex I).
3.
The elected Commission members also agreed on a proposal for geographic representation in
the group. As requested by the Chair of the Commission, and with the support of the Regional
Commissions, the regional statistical mechanisms nominated members of the IAEG-SDGs in their

respective regions. By the time of the first meeting of the IAEG-SDGs, 1-2 June 2015, four of the five
regions had provided all their nominations. The group is now composed of 28 representatives of
national statistical offices (See Annex II) and include, as observers, representatives of non-IAEG-SDG
countries, regional commissions and regional and international agencies who have provided important
technical advice and support throughout the process so far. Members of the IAEG-SDGs are expected
to consult regularly with countries in their respective regions and sub-regions so that ultimately the
members can adequately represent the positions of all countries. Countries that are not members of the
group have also actively participated in the work of the IAEG-SDGs as observers, by sending inputs
and expressing their views in the electronic consultations and, in some cases, participating in the
physical meetings. The IAEG-SDGs is currently chaired by Mexico and the Philippines.
4.
The important mandate to the Commission for the development and implementation of the
indicator proposal was reiterated by the General Assembly in its resolution 70/1, “Transforming our
world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, adopted at the United Nations Sustainable
Development Summit on 25 September 2015.
1
In the 2030 agenda, Member States refer to “the
global indicator framework, to be developed by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable
Development Goal Indicators” to “be agreed by the Statistical Commission by March 2016 and
adopted thereafter by the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly, in line with
existing mandates”.
2
Furthermore, Member States agreed that “follow-up and review at the high-level
political forum will be informed by an annual progress report on the Sustainable Development Goals
to be prepared by the Secretary-General in cooperation with the United Nations system, based on the
A/RES/70/1 - Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (The 2030 Agenda)
(http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/70/L.1&Lang=E).

global indicator framework and data produced by national statistical systems and information collected
at the regional level”, providing a mandate to the UN Secretariat to prepare an annual SDG progress
report based on the indicators as developed and implemented by the IAEG-SDGs.
3
The indicators
will be contained in a database of all available international data series maintained by the UN Statistics
Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
5.
Member States also gave great recognition to the importance of adequate data for the follow-up
and review of progress made in implementing the Goals and targets of the 2030 agenda and agreed to
intensify efforts to strengthen statistical capacities and to enhance capacity building support for
developing countries, particularly African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing
countries, small island developing States and middle-income countries.
4
6.
Member States also recognized that the basic principle of the 2030 agenda that no one is to be
left behind will require a significant level of data disaggregation and stressed that “quality, accessible,
timely and reliable disaggregated data will be needed to help with the measurement of progress and to
ensure that no one is left behind.”
5
7.
Member States committed themselves to systematic follow-up and review of the
implementation of the 2030 agenda at the national, regional and global levels and that global
indicators will be complemented by indicators at the regional and national levels to be developed by
Member States.

Process of the development of the global indicator framework
As mandated by the General Assembly resolution 70/1, the global indicator framework
“will be simple yet robust, address all Sustainable Development Goals and targets, including for
means of implementation, and preserve the political balance, integration and ambition contained
therein”.
8
The IAEG-SDGs has worked very intensively and made every effort to ensure that
these principles be fully respected.
9.
As acknowledged by Member States in the General Assembly resolution 70/1, work will
need to be undertaken to establish the baseline data where these are not available yet. It is
envisaged that the full development of the indicator framework is a process that requires time
and needs to include the possibility of refinements as knowledge and data availability improve,
10.
At the session of the intergovernmental negotiations on indicators on 23-24 March 2015,
the chair of the Statistical Commission introduced a technical report by the Statistical
Commission presenting an assessment by national statistical offices of preliminary and
indicative proposals for indicators prepared experts of the UN system. In that occasion,
Member States expressed their support for the roadmap agreed by the Statistical Commission
for the development of a global indicator framework and its timetable. Following this first
briefing, the Statistical Commission has provided regular updates to the General Assembly on

the progress of work on the global indicator framework, including three briefing s by the Chair
of the Commission that took place in May, July and November 2015. This has allowed for a
much needed dialogue between the statistical and political communities, with the recognition
that, while the work for the development of the global indicators is highly technical, the
political process needs to be kept informed as the indicators will be integral part of the overall
agenda.
A.
11.
Work undertaken by the IAEG-SDGs
The first meeting of the IAEG-SDGs, held in New York, from 1-2 June 2015, discussed
the methods of work of the group, the process for the selection of indicators, and other critical
issues, such as interlinkages across targets and data disaggregation. The meeting also reviewed
a first compilation of indicator proposals and associated metadata prepared by the Statistics
Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs and based on the initial assessment by
National Statistical Offices of the proposals provided by international agencies responsible for
compiling and monitoring global indicators. The IAEG-SDG members were also provided with
a compilation of inputs received from civil society, academia and private sector through a wide
consultation carried out before the meeting. The meeting agreed to establish two discussi on
streams, a first discussion stream focusing on conceptual frameworks and indicator concepts
and definitions, and a second one focusing on identifying interlinkages across goals and targets.
12.
Between 7 July and 9 August 2015, a consultation was conducted among the IAEG-SDG
members within the two discussion streams. In addition, a parallel consultation was held with

E/CN.3/2016/2
observers (regional and international agencies and countries that were not member of the IAEG -
SDGs) who provided additional inputs and suggestions on the proposed indicators. From 11
August to 14 September 2015, an open consultation was held on the indicator proposals with all
countries, regional and international agencies, civil society, academia and the private sector.
This list of proposals reviewed in this phase of the consultation incorporated all inputs,
comments or corrections received from experts from the international agencies at the first
meeting of the IAEG-SDGs or immediately after, as well as the changes in the Goals and targets
adopted by the intergovernmental negotiations on the SDGs and included in the final proposal:
"Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", released on 1
August 2015.
13.
At the end of the consultation, the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and
Social Affairs prepared a summary of all inputs received, which was made available on the
website of the IAEG-SDGs on 25 September 2015 (“Summary of comments, 25 September
2015”) and also provided to the IAEG-SDG members the compilation of the detailed inputs
from civil society, academia, and private sector.

14.
In addition to the structured consultations, the members of the IAEG-SDGs and the
Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs have undertaken numerous
activities engaging with Member States, agencies and civil society, and participated in briefings
and technical consultations.
15.
The more than two months of consultations have yielded an exceptional wealth of
proposals and inputs that were compiled and provided to the members of the IAEG -SDGs for

their final review ahead of their second meeting. Based on the comments by the IAEG
members, the Secretariat proposed to the IAEG-SDGs a grouping of the indicators into three
categories, with the objective of making the best use of the time of the physical meeting which
would not have allowed for an extensive discussion on all 225 proposals for indicator s.
10
The
categories considered were the following: those with general agreement (‘green’), those with
some unresolved issues (‘yellow’), and those where it appeared that more in-depth discussion
was still needed (‘grey’). The IAEG-SDGs agreed on the proposal and only the indicators coded
in yellow were discussed at the second IAEG-SDG meeting.
16.
The second meeting of IAEG-SDGs was held from 26-28 October 2015 in Bangkok,
Thailand, with the aim of reviewing and discussing the indicator proposals and defining the
next steps for the process. Over 220 participants attended, including representatives of 24 of
the 28 members of the group, and close to 200 observers, including non-IAEG-SDG Member
States, international and regional organizations and civil society, academia and private sector.
The discussion focused on the second group of indicators—those coded as ‘yellow’.
17.
The meeting reviewed a total of 81 ‘yellow’ indicator and 32 proposals for additional
indicators to cover targets with multiple elements. At the conclusion of the deliberation, the
group agreed to code the indicators discussed as follows: 67 ’green’, indicating that the
majority of the members of the group had no serious concerns on the proposals; 34 as ‘grey’;
and 2 for deletion. The meeting also concluded that the ‘grey’ indicators would be taken up for
discussion at a later stage, while the ‘green’ would be finalized in time for the submission of t he

report to the UN Statistical Commission. Indicators coded as ’grey‘ were mainly those that
members had agreed to include in the list and implementation plans, but on which the group had
not reached broad consensus either because the exact formulation needed to be finalized or
because different options were still being considered. Indicators that were still being discussed
in other inter-governmental processes or were addressing issues being reviewed within other
inter-governmental processes were also coded as ‘grey’ to allow for the other processes to
complete. These included indicators being discussed by the Open-ended Intergovernmental
Expert Working Group (OIEWG) on Terminology and Indicators related to Disaster Risk
Reduction, and indicators related to climate change issues that would be reviewed after the
conclusion of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference.
18.
The meeting was a critical step in the process for the development of the indicator
framework, as it produced broad consensus on the large majority of the proposed indicators and
on the next steps for the finalization of the proposal. The meeting allowed for a very intense
discussion among the core members of the group and productive interactions and exchange with
experts from international agencies and countries which were not members of the IAEG-SDGs,
and a large number of representatives from civil society, academia and private sector.
19.
After the second meeting, a brief open consultation with experts from international
agencies, non-IAEG Member States and other stakeholders took place in early November on the
indicators that were coded as ‘green’. Based on all inputs provided, the IAEG-SDGs finalized
these ‘green’ indicators through an additional phase of consultation among the members. At the
time of the preparation of this report a total of 229 indicators were included in the proposal,
including 149 ‘green’ and 80 ‘grey’. The IAEG-SDGs also agreed on a work plan for further

E/CN.3/2016/2
review and consultation on the ‘grey’ indicators to be presented as part of a background
document to this Commission at its 47
th
session. The background document will describe the
work conducted by the IAEG-SDGs on this set of indicators and highlight those cases where
further work will still be needed.
III.
Introduction of the global indicator framework
A.
20.
The indicator framework for global monitoring
The General Assembly resolution 70/1 requests that the Goals and targets will be
followed up and reviewed using a set of global indicators. The proposed indicators for the
review of the 2030 agenda presented in this report are the result of an inclusive, open and
transparent consultative process that involved a large number of stakeholders, guided by the
requests and recommendations by Member States at the General Assembly. As indicated by
Member States of the Open Working Group, “the sustainable development goals are
accompanied by targets and will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable
outcomes. They are action-oriented, global in nature and universally applicable. They take into
account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respect national
policies and priorities.”
11
21.
During the review of proposals and selection of the indicators, the IAEG -SDGs
considered issues of relevance, methodological soundness, and measurability. Other
overarching criteria for the selection of the global indicators included the need for the total
number to be limited and for the indicators to be easy to communicate.
11
See Report of the Open Working Group of the General Assembly on Sustainable Development Goals (A/68/970), para. 18.
11

1599828_0012.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
22.
The IAEG-SDGs discussed the issue of interlinkages and multi-purpose indicators, with
a view to limiting the number of indicators. In several cases, one (multi-purpose) indicator was
identified as appropriate to measure progress in more than one target. However, at the same
time, where targets covered several different elements, more than one indicator was proposed
per target. The members also recognized that in several cases, not all the multiple aspects of the
targets are addressed by the indicators and that, in the long term, efforts will need to be made by
the statistical community to identify indicators to complement the existing ones.
23.
The IAEG-SDGs also considered the relationship between the global indicators and the
indicators for regional, national and sub-national and thematic monitoring. It is expected that
the global indicators will form the core of all other sets of indicators, especially considering that
the discussions on the global indicators took into account some of the experience with regional,
national and sub-national and thematic monitoring. However, additional and, in some cases,
different indicators might be used for regional, national and sub-national levels of monitoring.
These indicators will be developed by Member States. Indicators for thematic monitoring are
also already being developed in a number of areas.
24.
A core element of the global indicator framework is the disaggregation of data and the
coverage of particular groups of the population in order to fulfill the main principle of the 2030
Agenda of leaving no one behind (see section C).
B.
The list of indicators for global monitoring
12

1599828_0013.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
25.
The list of indicators in Annex III contains the proposed global indicators that have been
agreed by the IAEG-SDGs. Some indicators are marked with an asterisk, indicating that at the
time of the submission of this report further work was required to bett er understand the existing
proposals and reach consensus. The background document that accompanies this report
describes the work carried out by the IAEG-SDGs in finalizing the proposals for these
indicators, including by conducting additional consultations with all stakeholders. It also
proposes long term solution to complement indicators where targets are only partially covered.
C.
Leaving no one behind: issues of data disaggregation
26.
The vision enshrined in the recently adopted 2030 agenda for sustainable development is
ambitious and transformational. As they embarked in this new journey, Member States pledged
that no one would be left behind. The IAEG-SDGs has discussed issues of disaggregation and
agreed that it is a responsibility of the statistical community to meet this new level of ambition.
The indicators should cover the specific groups of the population and other disaggregation
elements as specified in the targets. IAEG-SDG Members also agreed on an overarching
principle of data disaggregation to accompany the list of indicators as follows:
SDG indicators should be disaggregated where relevant by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity,
migratory status, disability and geographic location, or other characteristics, in accordance
with the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics.
13
 URU, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 114: Invitation til møde med Danmarks Statistik om arbejdet med de globale indikatorer
1599828_0014.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
27.
The group also agreed that indicators should cover the specific groups of the population
and address other elements of disaggregation when these are specified in the targets. To the
extent possible, indicators relevant to the specific groups mentioned in the targets have been
included in the proposed list.
28.
The IAEG-SDG Members discussed the constraints faced by many countries in
producing the data necessary to address the requirements for data disaggregation, including
policies and regulations that prevent data collection by race and/or ethnicity and confidentiality
issues, among others. Also, the large resources requirements for data disaggregation were
discussed. The group agreed that there was a need for more detailed discussion on issues related
to disaggregation, including by identifying necessary methodological developments and how to
strengthen statistical capacity and mobilize resources necessary for the additional data
production.
IV.
The implementation of the global indicator framework
A.
29.
Overall plan for the implementation of the global indicators
The Secretary-General has been mandated to produce an annual SDG progress report to
support follow-up and review at the High-level Political Forum. The report is to be based on
data produced by national statistical systems and information collected at the regional level. It
is expected that the global reporting of progress on the 2030 Agenda will be based on global
and regional aggregates of data on indicators as compiled by international agencies based on
14
 URU, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 114: Invitation til møde med Danmarks Statistik om arbejdet med de globale indikatorer
1599828_0015.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
their respective existing mandates and/or expertise. Quality standards and best practices,
including for the estimation of data and the provision of metadata should be defined and
followed, also taking in consideration ECOSOC Resolution 2006/6 on strengthening statistical
capacity, which contains reference to the fact that estimates should always be carried out in full
consultation with concerned countries and through transparent methodologies.
30.
12
Global monitoring should be based, to the largest possible extent, on comparable and
standardized national data, obtained through well-established reporting mechanisms from
countries to the international statistical system.
13
Where needed, such mechanisms should be
improved especially by strengthening the coordination function of national statistical offices
and/or other national institutions with a mandate for coordination. Efforts should be made to fill
data gaps and improve international comparability by increased adoption of internatio nally
agreed standards at the national level, strengthening national statistical capacity and improving
reporting mechanisms. International organizations must support these efforts to standardize
indicators in accordance with international guidelines and assure compliance. Every effort
should be made to reconcile data provided at the global level with the data published by the
national statistical authorities, and any discrepancies should be resolved when possible or
carefully explained. Regional mechanisms, with the support of the Regional Commissions and
other regional organizations and offices, will also play a significant role in facilitating this
process, taking into account regional priorities and strengthening the link between the national
and the global level.
ECOSOC Resolution 2006/6 on “Strengthening Statistical Capacity”.
A few exception exist, such as for instance on an indicator on CO
2
emissions, which is produced at the global level only,
although based on national data.

1599828_0016.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
31.
The IAEG-SDGs has highlighted in several cases that the indicators proposed do not
cover all aspects of the target. It is envisaged that further methodological work will be
conducted with a view to continuously improving the indicators and the availability of data to
address these shortcomings.
B.
32.
Development of the indicators
Based on their level of methodological development and overall data availability, the
indicators contained in the current proposal will be grouped in three different tiers:
a first tier for which an established methodology exists and data are already widely available;
a second tier for which a methodology has been established but for which data are not easily
available; and
33.
a third for which an internationally agreed methodology has not yet been developed.
The IAEG-SDGs will agree on the classification of the indicators in the three tiers. It
will also develop a work plan, in consultation with the respective specialized agencies and
experts in the relevant areas, for the establishment of adequate methodology for indicators of
tier III and discuss available data sources and methodology for an improved coverage of tier II
indicators. This work will have to be accompanied by capacity building efforts. Also, new data
sources and technologies for data collection will need to be explored, including through
partnerships with civil society, private sector and academia. The integration of geospatial
information and statistical data will also be key for the production of a number of indicators. As
stated in point (c) of the Terms of Reference of the group, the IAEG-SDGs will regularly
review methodologies for the indicators. Further developments and future modifications of the
16
 URU, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 114: Invitation til møde med Danmarks Statistik om arbejdet med de globale indikatorer
1599828_0017.png
E/CN.3/2016/2
indicators resulting from improved data availability, new methodologies or interlinkages
identified across targets, being of technical nature and not changing the substance of the
indicators, will be reviewed and approved by the Statistical Commission.
34.
IAEG-SDG members discussed the need to establish a baseline for tracking the
indicators. A technical discussion, including on how to deal with cases where data are still
unavailable, will need to be carried out by group at its next meeting and guidelines will be
developed. Also, the question of periodicity of reporting will need to be addressed.
35. Members of the IAEG-SDGs will also regularly review and discuss data gaps and related
priorities for capacity building and data development in relation to SDG indicators. Results of
these discussions and reviews will be transmitted to the High Level Group for Partnership,
Coordination and Capacity-Building for post 2015 monitoring (HLG). The HLG is tasked by
the UN Statistical Commission with providing strategic leadership for the SDG implementation
process as it concerns statistical monitoring and reporting and harnessing the opportunities of
the data revolution to support the SDG implementation process. A more detailed description of
the activities of the HLG is presented in the report of the HLG to this Commission.
36.
The IAEG-SDGs will agree on a format for the compilation and dissemination of
metadata on global indicators in order to ensure their consistent implementation at national,
sub-national, regional and global levels. Such metadata will encompass a full description of the
indicator definitions, underlying concepts, methods of data collection, data sources and other
relevant information that would facilitate the use and interpretation of the indicators.

Work plan of the IAEG-SDGs
It is suggested that the IAEG-SDGs will carry out the following activities between
March 2016 and March 2017:
(a)
Agree on the global reporting mechanism, including identifying entities responsible for
compiling data for global reporting on individual indicators to be provided to the Secretariat
(b)
(c)
(d)
Establish a tier system for the indicators.
Establish a work plan for further development of tier III indicators.
Establish procedures for the methodological review of indicators, including approval
mechanisms of needed revisions.
(e)
Review the data availability for tier I and tier II indicators and develop a plan for increasing the
data coverage of tier II indicators.
(f)
(g)
Develop further guidance on the issue of data disaggregation.
Continue the discussion on interlinkages across targets and goals and on the use of

The United Nations Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs will
be the secretariat of the group. Member States that are part of the IAEG-SDGs will elect two Co-
Chairs. The existing global monitoring groups, generally composed of representatives of national
statistical systems and experts from international agencies, working on specific indicators, will
contribute to the work of the Inter-agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal
Indicators as deemed appropriate by the IAEG-SDGs. In addition, as deemed appropriate, global
monitoring groups will be formed bringing together national and international experts that will support
the IAEG-SDGs on the selection and definition of indicators and data compilation and reporting to
monitor progress in new and emerging areas covered by the new goals and targets.

The group will meet physically twice a year, and otherwise conduct its work electronically.
Participation in the physical meetings is self-funded. A limited number of developing countries that
are members of the group may receive funding, if available and according to practices followed in the
Inter-agency and Expert Group on Millennium Development Goal indicators. In this connection, a
trust fund is expected to be established to mobilize resources in support of the work of the IAEG-
SDGs.
