“National mechanisms for monitoring progress and reporting on implementation
for the achievement of SDGs”
Remarks by the Director of the FAO Liaison Office to the UN, Ms. Carla Mucavi
14 July 2016, 10:00-11:30am, Trusteeship Chamber, UN, New York
Statement of Ms. Carla Mucavi/FAO LON Director
1. Thank you for giving me the floor Mr. Moderator.
2. Based on experiences from the MDG era, it is recognized that a country-led,
strong, inclusive and participatory review process is fundamental in implementing
the Agenda 2030 and the achievement of the SDGs.
3. The availability and the use of accessible, timely, reliable and disaggregated data
must be in the focus of national agendas in order to cope with the responsibility
to report on the SDG indicators.
4. To fulfil this task, we will need a strong partnership between international
agencies and countries.
5. While governments have the primary responsibility of collecting data at national
level, international agencies responsible for the compilation of SDG indicators will
help ensure that data are comparable between countries and that they are
aggregated at regional and global levels.
6. This partnership will also play a crucial role in building capacity in countries to
collect and analyze data, work on further methodological development of the
Global Indicator Framework, and support coordination e with other stakeholders
interested in contributing to the monitoring and development of the indicator.
7. FAO has been tasked with the responsibility to compile data for more than 20
SDG indicators in SDGs 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Responding to this request and
building on our existing strong partnerships with governments, statistical
agencies and other stakeholders, FAO is ready to support countries in the
implementation and monitoring of the SDGs.
8. Thank you.
