Institutional and methodological recommendations for the measurement of indicators for the disaster-related Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
This document outlines institutional and methodological recommendations that proposes six methodological steps for measuring indicators for the disaster-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and defines a number of global, regional and national criteria and instruments. The document is accompanied by a Matrix of Requirements, a diagnostic mechanism to identify the gaps and needs in statistical processes that require greater clarification and support from the national statistical offices and stakeholders involved.
The institutional recommendations and suggested methodological steps provide stakeholders and agencies working on the Sendai Framework indicators with a baseline and technical guidance to improve data quality, with the goal of promoting enhanced cooperation between national offices and national statistical and disaster risk reduction (DRR) systems and facilitating greater coordination in monitoring and reporting processes. This, in turn, will result in evidence-based disaster risk governance and improve decision making to ensure disaster risk-informed sustainable development.
