The previous review of SDG16 at HLPF 2019 further highlighted the need of integrated, quality and reliable data to be gathered through harmonized methodologies and innovative data collection tools involving cross-sectoral cooperation between governments, civil society and the private sector. Integrated data facilitates the identification of root causes, structural issues and systematic patterns of exclusion and help to build capacity for effective and integrated implementation of SDG 16 targets. Within the Decade of Action, the monitoring of targets under Goal 16 can provide valuable information from which to design evidence-based programmes to advance the implementation of the Goal as a whole, while leaving no one behind.
In this context, this side event will showcase good practices in monitoring implementation of SDG 16 and its targets. It will feature short questions and answers from United Nations experts, civil society organizations and governments, which will be followed by interactions from the floor.
