Subnational Data for Development
The data roadmaps for sustainable development process seeks to address the data challenges and opportunities at both the national and subnational levels. How the SDGs are applied at more local levels to drive decision-making and impact, and how local level impacts and challenges further inform the national process is an important dynamic to consider to successfully implement against the SDGs taking into account leaving no one behind.
The Open Institute is supporting the development of this module by providing practical guidelines for subnational level jurisdictions (province, district, county, etc.) and subnational level organizations on the process of leveraging the data revolution to identify local level priorities and needs, especially those resulting in progress towards the SDGs. It will also provide practical guidelines for multi-stakeholder approaches to developing data for the SDGs as well as iterating the data and using them to stimulate decision-making, action and monitoring.
