Mapping with SDGs and Development of Indicators Mapping with SDGs and Development of Indicators The African Statistics Community, through African Symposium for Statistical Development (ASSD), developed Indicators for SDG in the First half of 2015, and further costed them in preparation for implementation. Mapping Exercise A complete set of Indicators for the FTYIP was developed and validated by Statistician Community. Need to produce minimum list of Indicators (Core Indicators) Reduce the cost / burden on Member States in reporting the outcomes of the FTYIP Minimize the divergence between the FTYIP and the SDG indicators
Consultation Meetings Planning the process for developing a measurement framework within the context of the Strategy For Harmonisation Of Statistics In Africa (SHaSA) for Agenda 2063 First Ten Year Implementation Plan - JULY 2015 The steering committee meeting (AUC, ECA, AfDB, ACBF and ASSD September 2015 Leveraging Monitoring And Evaluation (M&E) And Resource Mobilization Best Practices Within AUC and (RECs) September 2015; Multidisciplinary Expert Group Meeting - October 2015 The development of a road map for the convergence of Monitoring And Evaluation Systems of RECs For Agenda 2063 - November 2015 Multidisciplinary Expert Group meeting to review the proposed list of indicators for the first 10 year implementation plan of Agenda 2063 - December 2015
Selection Criteria First set of Criteria Identify Agenda 2063 indicators that have 100% convergence with the SDGs Indicators for the 12 Agenda 2063 flagship projects. These should be included as national and regional indicators, irrespective of whether they have been included as part of the initial core indicators or not. Outcome indicators were to be given higher priority than output indicators. Dominance: the dominant indicator that covers most sub-sets was expected to be considered. Macro data could be monitored by the RECs with the expectations that the Member States would monitor the sub-sets within the respective communities. This approach was expected to reduce repetitions. Ease of computation. Relevance to Africa and its peculiarities.
Selection Criteria Second set of criteria Use the super core indicators as the baseline for the work Review the work of the AUC/ECA Group against the background of: Clarity and Appropriateness Goal is to reduce from 80 indicators to 50 indicators as guided by the following: Focus on outcome indicators or outcome targets Indicators for flagship projects cannot be left out Transformative indicators cannot be dropped: Economic transformation, Skills revolution, Africa revolution, Gender/Youth Integration indicators: Infrastructure, Economic, Political, Social An Agenda 2063 Super Core Indicator may be replaced with an SDG indicator if the group feels it is smarter.
Outcome Outcome Provide a summary of the spreadsheet table ( the number of indicators for the entire FTYIP; the number core ; the number core that are both for FTYIP and the SDGs- by aspiration)
The Way Forward Profiling and development of Metadata Incorporation of their inputs Use of Tunisia Outcome to develop the Accountability Framework ( MS, RECs and the AUC/NEPAD and AU Organs) Validation Meeting with African Experts ( Development Practitioners, Think Tanks etc) STC on Finance, Economy, Planning and Integration AU Policy Organs
