tics While there has been a big progress since 2000 there is still:
Need to implement new data collection mechanisms in manycountries
Need to harmonize databases and sources of information
Need to have better definitions of key indicators using surveydata
Potential data sources being under-utilized
Disaggregated data adds a challenge
Are we ready to monitor and report on SDGs?

Need for disaggregated data
A range of new initiatives related to disaggregated data
… all countries should collect, analyze and use disaggregated data, broken down by the specific characteristics of given population groups, and ensure that indicators measure progress towards reducing inequality.

Proposed process to approve list of indicators
Step 1: Review metadata
Step 2: Weigh on data availability
Step 3: Define tier classification
Step 4 : Review methodological/data sources needs
Step 5: Identify best possible placeholder if any to be
used
Step 6: Set a work group to propose on Tier II and Tier III

Proposed criteria for defining Placeholders
The proximity of the placeholder to the concept the original indicator is measuring
The proximity of the placeholder to the target being measured
Cross-national comparability of the placeholder (at least for groups of countries if not globally)
Country and regional coverage
Sufficient periodicity (i.e. at least once every 5 years)
