Unlocking SDG 3 Success

This year holds special significance as the midpoint in implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With each step closer to the end of the SDG implementation window, efforts to measure progress and achievement toward these goals will only intensify. While rhetoric often emphasizes the importance of data for development, the global community has yet to fully translate this discourse into substantial investments in high-quality data for evidence-based decision-making. Beyond just financial commitments to robust data collection, there is a pressing need for greater political and scientific dedication. Measurement should serve as a catalyst for action and accountability, but in turn, there must be accountability in measurement processes. Choices regarding what to measure, how to measure it, what remains unmeasured, and to whom findings are disseminated reflect political decisions and underlying conceptualization of problems and solutions, and can profoundly impact policy directions.
