The seminar will focus on the monitoring requirements for the new goals and targets of the post-2105 development agenda – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – from a national perspective. It will provide a forum for both data producers and users from different areas to exchange views on how to deal with the new monitoring needs in an effective way, and on how the national monitoring of the SDGs should be conducted, including by ensuring full national ownership of the process. The seminar will also offer statistical experts from national statistical offices, private sector and civil society an opportunity to discuss how to utilize traditional and innovate ways to meet the data demand for the monitoring of the SDGs.
