• Measuring Goal 16: Identifying priority indicators based on key statistical and normative criteria – (Guide/Manual)

Description

This short paper identifies existing indicators that can be applied to measuring progress in targets for goal 16 for the SDG/post-2015 development agenda: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.

It uses existing sources of information from previous expert meetings and consultations which identified most current available data sources. It assesses these existing data sources based criteria of practicality if they are input, output or outcome oriented, and whether they meet statistical and normative criteria. This is intended to provide input into broader efforts to prioritise indicators and targets for goal 16 and to identify data gaps and overlaps. It is a draft paper that can be further developed in consultation with other key stakeholders providing input into the SDG/ Post-2015 development agenda.
