Action Plan and Methodological Guidelines for Data Generation and Disaggregation for Monitoring and Evaluation of SDGs Md. Alamgir Hossen Deputy Director and Member-Secretary, SDG Cell Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) Background Under supervision and guidance of Statistics and Informatics Division (SID), Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), as the National Statistical Office (NSO), has completed a rigorous exercise on Data Gaps for SDGs monitoring and the first analytical report was published in April, 2016 based on the targets 1

Background Based on the publication, General Economics Division (GED) has conducted workshops and rigorous consultation with most of the data generating relevant Ministries/Divisions and agencies including BBS and prepared a national data gap analysis and Monitoring and Evaluation Framework Ministries/Divisions responsible for data source 120 105 100 80 60 42 34 40 28 20 18 14 11 10 9 9 8 8 7 7 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 20 0 SID MoEF MoHFW ERD FD LGD MoDMR MoHA MoA FID MoE MoFL MoPME MoC MoFA MoWR GED LPAD PMO MoST MoLE PTD PD MoEWOE MoHPW MoL MoWCA RTHD MoS MoD MoSW MoF EMRD MoR CoCAT MoCA IRD MoCHTA MoYS MoP IMED MoPA LJD 2

Tier II : Indicator conceptually clear, established methodology and standards available but data are not regularly produced by countries. Tier III : Indicator for which there are no established methodology and standards or methodology/standards are being developed/tested. 9 Tier classification Status of SDG indicators Internationally established Tier Conceptually clear Regularly produced # of Indicators methodology and standards Tier I    93   Tier II ? 72 Tier III ? ? ? 62 * 5 indicators with more than one tier assigned 10 5

Data Interpretation Concepts and Definition Meta Reference Data Time • Before using data objective should be Core Compara Methodo defined clearly bility logy Factors • Core factors must be explored before using Significa data Source nce Level • 5W1H (who, what, where, Area when, why, how) NSO in data coordination “ ...global monitoring should be based on comparable and standardized national data obtained through well-established reporting mechanisms from countries to the international statistical system. Such mechanisms can be improved by strengthening the coordination function of national statistical offices and/or other national institutions. In order to fill data gaps and improve international comparability, countries will need to adopt internationally agreed standards at the national level, strengthen national statistical capacity and improve reporting mechanisms. International organizations and regional mechanisms play a significant role in facilitating the process. ” [ Report of the Secretary-General- E/2016/75 ] 12 6

Way Forward  Leading Role of BBS in generation and validation of the official data as NSO  Preparation of methodological guidelines for data disaggregation and frequency  Conducting new surveys identified for data generation- review of questionnaires are also required  Mining of microdata of different survey/census/administrative sources  Developing partnership with other national and international organizations  Formulation of Guidelines for Administrative Data generation for SDGs indicators  Implementation of Statistics Act, 2013 and National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS)  Role of National Data Coordination Committee (NDCC) to be ensured  Developing the capacity of manpower- more data analytics/data scientists Surveys need to conduct by BBS to Support SDGs 1. Literacy Assessment Survey 2. District Community Survey 3. Access to Public Transport Survey 4. Citizen Household Perception Survey 5. Child and Mother Nutrition Survey 6.
