Global SDGs Indicators An Application of EBPM

Abstract

The SDGs was adopted with the principle of EBPM (Evidence-based Policy Making), which is an idea that policy decisions should be based on, or informed by, objective evidence. The present paper reviews the processes that the SDGs indicators were introduced at the United Nations and how they have been used for global monitoring. Furthermore, the paper argues the challenges that the SDGs indicators have imposed on the international and national statistical systems.
