Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is fully committed to support countries’ efforts to monitor the 2030 Agenda, in particular the 21 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators under its custodianship. Seven years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, assessing whether and when the SDG targets and goals will be achieved, while leaving no one behind, is becoming a pressing need. The Office of Chief Statistician of FAO has devoted great efforts to develop and implement a standardized and sound statistical methodology to assess the current status and progress towards the SDG targets and goals. The proposed approach is used to produce FAO’s annual report “Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators”, which includes a statistical progress assessment and a statistical technical annex. FAO’s methodology was adopted for the production of the Global SDG Progress Chart, harmonizing the progress assessment approaches proposed by different international organizations. FAO can support countries in adopting the proposed methodology to monitor SDG progress at the national and sub-national level, and in preparing Voluntary National Reviews, including a statistical analysis of the current status and progress towards the SDG targets and goals.

    "The FAO methodology to measure progress towards the achievement of SDG targets and goals" aims to provide a comprehensive and unified description of the progress assessment methodology used by FAO, and to serve as a tool to support the interpretation and understanding of the results published in two FAO publications: "Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators to monitor the progress of food- and agriculture-related SDG indicators" and "FAO and the Sustainable Development Goals". Additionally, it can support the interpretation of the progress assessment visualizations disseminated through the SDG Indicators Data Portal and on the SDG module of the Country Profile Tool.

    In 2019, FAO conducted a workshop for the Pacific region to raise awareness on SDG 14.b and the important linkages to relevant regional and global frameworks, as well as to help strengthen capacities of member countries to collect and compile relevant data and information for reporting on SDG indicator 14.b.1. The workshop recommended that further guidance is needed to assist Pacific Island Member Countries to better understand and to consequently improve reporting on the SDG 14.b.1 indicator. The internationally agreed methodology for reporting on SDG indicator 14.b.1 is based on countries’ responses to three questions found in the online FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) survey. The guidance document therefore provides detailed, practical guidance in the context of the Pacific, on the process for responding to the three FAO CCRF survey questions relating to SDG indicator 14.b.1, highlighting important links to relevant information including Pacific regional frameworks on coastal fisheries.
