Fifth meeting of the Statistical Coordination Group for the 2030 Agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Fifth meeting of the Statistical Coordination Group for the 2030 Agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean was held virtually on 11 August 2022, as a space for countries, the agencies, funds, and programmes of the United Nations in the region and the technical secretariat of the Group to reflect on strategic issues in statistical monitoring of the SDGs in the region. Representatives from 10 countries and three United Nations agencies in the region participated.
The two subjects discussed were:
- The features and functioning of the new online information system for surveying national capacities for the production of SDG indicators.
- Characteristics of the new collaborative platform as a mechanism for sharing knowledge and engaging countries of the region in strategic issues discussed at meetings of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators and the High-level Group for Partnership, Coordination and Capacity-Building for Statistics for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Group adopted the initiatives presented and gave its approval to move forward with implementation of the pilot stage of the information system on national capacities for the production of SDG indicators and the incorporation and management of content for the collaborative platform on statistical aspects of the 2030 Agenda in the region within the framework of the actions that the Knowledge Transfer Network is carrying out with respect to these virtual spaces for exchange and dissemination.
