According to the latest analysis done by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (United Nations ESCAP), Sri Lanka has come to the 10th place out of 53 countries in the Asia-Pacific region in SDG data availability. In South and South-West Asia region, Sri Lanka ranks at the 3rd place, showing our commitment to promote transparency and accountability through open SDG Data.
With the launch of the National SDG Data Portal, the Sustainable Development Council pioneered SDG data governance and management system in Sri Lanka connecting over 80 government institutions responsible for data production to a central platform.
We are currently in the process of building the capacity of institutions for data generation and compilation with new methodologies and techniques to further reduce the existing data gap and promote evidence-based decision making in Sri Lanka.
