Project Generates Indicators to Measure and Evaluate SDG Challenges Subnationally

The Public Policy Institute at the Catholic University of the North, a member of SDSN Chile, developed a project throughout 2023 that seeks to generate indicators to measure and evaluate the challenges of the Antofagasta region in relation to the SDGs. It seeks to generate recommendations for the prioritization of certain SDGs through the support of experts, dialogues with key actors, citizen participation, and geo-referencing of indicators.

The Institute for Sustainable Development at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile hosted and supported SDSN Chile on three webinars, three Leadership Council meetings, three newsletters, three blogs, and one podcast throughout 2023.
