Data for Development: A Needs Assessment for SDG Monitoring and Statistical Capacity Development
Published on
The Financing for Development Summit in July 2015 presents a crucial opportunity to make the case for increased investments in development data, but to do so the statistical community needs to agree upon a robust estimate of resource needs. This study, prepared by a broad coalition of data for development experts convened by SDSN, attempts to respond to that challenge. It details monetary estimates of the spending required to upgrade current systems and conduct ongoing data collection for the Sustainable Development Goals, and provides recommendations for both donors and recipient countries of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in joining the data revolution.
