DATA FOR SDG LOCALIZATION: THE INDIA STORYGENERATION, REVIEW & CHALLENGES
21 November 2019
Sanyukta Samaddar Adviser, NITI Aayog, Government of India
INDIA IS A LEADING VOICE FOR THE GLOBAL ACHIEVEMENT OF SDGs
271 million people moved out of poverty; Multidimensional poverty
halved between 2005/6 and 2015/16
7th largest economy and one of the fastest growing major economies
18% of the world’s population on 2.3% of the world’s land “India’s success in achieving the SDGs can change
the face of the world”.
Maria Espinosa, Former President, UN General
Assembly
“If world has to achieve SDGs, India must succeed”
Sue Desmond-Hellmann, CEO, Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation
Achieving SDGs is strongly connected to the progress made by States/UTs in a federal polity;
hence localisation is of prime importance 2
• India’s geography, federal structure, and division of
powers call for localization
• Promotes healthy competition at sub-national level
COOPERATIVE
AND
COMPETITIVE
FEDERALISM
• No one size fits all – allows developing local solutions
• Facilitates peer learning – sub-national entities can
learn from each other and share good practices
LOCALISED
SOLUTIONS
• All levels of government get the opportunity to
improve their capacity
• For instance, state and district governments can
improve and widen their data collection systems

NEED FOR SDG LOCALISATIONSDG localisation: The process of recognizing sub-national contexts in the achievement of the 2030 Agenda,
from the setting of goals and targets, to determining the means of implementation, and using indicators to
measure and monitor progress.
3
STEPS IN SDG LOCALISATION IN STATES/ UTs1. Sensitization
Awareness generation of leadership and key departments, on need to drive at state level, with focus on SDG monitoring
8. Ranking of districts
Undertake periodic, preferably annual, ranking and review of districts on SDG performance
5. SDG Coordination Centre
Set up a centre within the nodal department to coordinate all SDG- related initiatives with focus on monitoring and review
4. Building partnerships
The State/ UT partners with UN for knowledge support, Ministry of Statistics for data support, and technical agency for dashboard
2. State and District Indicator Frameworks
Nodal department coordinates drafting of SIF and DIF in consultation with NITI Aayog
7. Review mechanisms
Set up SDG review mechanism at the Chief Secretary/ Chief
Minister, preferably bi-annually
6. Budgeting
Central and state levels – mapping done; need to identify the financial resource gap and arrive
at a multipronged strategy to bridge the gaps
3. Improve data ecosystem
The State/ UTs improves its data collection systems and widens the quantum of indicators captured including data points from private sector and CSOs

CURRENT DATA SYSTEM: CHALLENGES

Frequency of data
collection needs to
improve
More data points
must be captured
periodically
Divergence among
difference data
sources needs to be
fixed
Granularity of data
available must
improve
DATA CHALLENGES LEAVE TOO MANY BEHIND
Disaggregated data
should be available
Data quality must
improve
Data should be more
accessible

WE NEED
New ways (mobile, tablet)
New levels (district, local)
New sectors (private,

WAY FORWARD
Actions to collect
datasets from private
sector on CSR and
core business
For any-time SDG
monitoring at State
and District levels
All 17 SDGs,
more targets
and indicators
Data collection on a
wider set of
indicators; more
frequent data update
