Analysis reveals a small set of core indicators can monitor progress in sustainable development goals, suggesting improvements for post-2030 frameworks.
Key Points
Identifying 47 core indicators could track SDG progress effectively, simplifying data requirements.
Analysis of 47 disaggregated indicators produced similar country-level progress scores as a larger dataset of 1112 indicators.
This approach addresses data availability and comparability issues for international development goals.
Future post-2030 frameworks should consider core indicators to enhance reporting and monitoring efficiency.
