Mexico
Mexico joined the National Monitoring Initiative in 2017 and applied the three-step methodology to develop an SDGs 16 monitoring framework including a data and indicators mapping, engage stakeholders and develop monitoring scorecards in the form of visual infographics. Currently, UNDP in Mexico is conducting an assessment of these efforts to inform future interventions by the UN in support of the country’s SDGs 16 monitoring system.
Tunisia
Tunisia was one of the first pilot countries of the National Monitoring Initiative and has been successful in increasing capacities of national institutions and civil society to collect data and report on SDG16, increase availability of data on SDG16 indicators and development of a sustainable SDG16 data collection system. Currently, Tunisia is working to extend SDG 16 monitoring at the sub-national level through development and piloting of scorecards in several regions. The findings of this monitoring exercise will inform the development of a national-level Tunisian SDG 16 Action Plan.
Senegal
Senegal was not an official pilot country but used the three-step methodology to improve the national system for the production of official statistics in relation to SDGs 16 and fill in the information gaps and address limitations, identified during the integration of the SDG 16 targets at the national level. The UN in Senegal is supporting coordination units within the government’s institutions in the areas related to SDG 16 to facilitate stakeholders consultations and plans to continue support for the establishment of a national coordination and monitoring mechanism, which will conduct periodic reviews on the implementation of the priority SDG 16 targets.
