The UN Agencies and the State Statistics Committee of Turkmenistan have embarked on the process of developing an SDG Database to better monitor the implementation of Agenda 2030 in the country.
Two international experts, Mr. Roberto Bianchini, and Ms. Lantona Sado, were invited to support with the assessment of available resources and tools and development of the Roadmap to create the SDG database. During the meetings with the representatives of the line ministries involved in the process of SDG reporting the experts presented recommendations on the creation of a national platform for reporting and dissemination of data, best international practices and existing expertise in data management and monitoring.
At the wrap-up meeting at the State Statistics Committee, the consultants introduced potential options for the SDG Database Platform and potential timeframes for their implementation to all partners. Now the Government of Turkmenistan will need to decide on the most suitable option for the country and agree on the proposed next steps.
