Turkmenistan Strengthens SDG Data Reporting through Technical Consultation

The meeting gathered representatives of key government institutions, including the Ministry of Finance and Economy and the State Statistics Committee, alongside sectoral ministries and agencies involved in the production and reporting of official statistics.  

The consultation was held as part of ongoing preparations for Turkmenistan’s third Voluntary National Review (VNR), to be presented at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2027.  

Participants engaged in technical discussions aimed at identifying gaps and discrepancies in SDG data reporting on over 25 indicators, and at strengthening alignment between national statistical systems and global reporting frameworks.

International partners, including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Labour Organization (ILO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Bank, and International Monetary Fund (IMF), contributed to the exchange of knowledge and expertise through virtual participation. 

The meeting provided a platform for dialogue between national institutions and international organizations, supporting improved coordination, data quality, and methodological harmonization in SDG monitoring. 

The United Nations reaffirms its commitment to supporting Turkmenistan in strengthening its national statistical capacity and advancing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
