III. Emerging Issues/

Challenges

1. Given the numerous indicators initially identified for

the monitoring of the 17 Sustainable Development

Goals and 169 Targets, there is a great demand for

the availability of relevant, timely, disaggregated and

better quality statistics.

2. Need to improve administrative-based data to serve

as possible source of various data requirements in

the SDG framework

3. Need for optimal use of information technology for

wider utilization and improved dissemination of the

SDG indicators

4. Lack of mechanism/capability to collect data at the

local level

26

5. Need to capture data from programs and projects

implemented by the private sector

6. Need for technical and financial support to be able

to monitor the numerous indicators in SDGs and

address data gaps

7. Need to ensure that data collected are processed

8. Need to capacitate and equip personnel in the

bureaucracy, local government units and other private

institutions in generating data to conform to statistical

standards and methodology

9. Need for clarification/guidance/clearer metadata on the

conceptual and operational definition of some of the

global SDG indicators


Challenges

27

10. Need to improve access to data (e.g.“Open data”)

11. Need to strengthen coordination mechanisms – Legal Frameworks – Coordination (National, Sub-regional, Regional, Global) – Partnerships (NGOs/CSOs, Academia, Professional associations and

networks, Private sector, Media, PARIS21 and Global Partnership on Sustainable Development Data)

12. Need to improve citizen involvement – Through civil society – Through voice in congress– representation of marginalized/minority groups

(e.g., farmers) – Bottom Up Budgeting – Ambition 2040 ( nationwide survey of the planning ministry to ask citizens

their personal ambitions by 2040) – Regional statistics committees as venue for discussion at the local level – Through Academia – Through national commissions(Youth, Indigenous Peoples, Overseas

Filipinos, Muslim Filipinos, Persons with disability)


Challenges

28

IV. Next Steps

1. Adoption of the 2013 Master Sample designed to generate

reliable estimates at the provincial level.

2. Development of methodology for generating

multidimensional poverty index (MPI)

3. Assessment of the pilot survey on evidence and data on

gender equality (EDGE) – measuring asset, and ownership

from a gender perspective.

4. Exploring the possibility of generating maternal mortality

rate from other data sources, e.g., Civil registration

5. Improving administrative-based data systems to serve as

possible source of various data requirements in the SDG

framework (e.g. Conduct of a Seminar on Administrative

Data)

29

6. Exploring the possibility of using data from third party

sources for some of the SDG indicators that are not

available from existing data collection systems

7. Exploring the use of Big Data to address the huge increase

in the quantity of data that needs to be generated, data

gaps and disaggregation variables (e.g. PSA-ITU Project

on “Big Data for Measuring the Information Society”)

8. Exploring the use of tablets/CAPI to improve data

collection, e.g., conduct of pilot test using tablets in the

Labor Force Survey (LFS).

9. Exploring the use of statistical techniques such as small

area estimation to generate lower-level data

IV. Next Steps

30

10. Strengthen the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance

System (SSRCS) so that all government-funded surveys

(including admin-based data collection) adopt statistical

standards to ensure high quality data

11. Conduct of a pilot Time Use Survey to generate indicators

on unpaid work

12. Designation of SDG Focal Points in data source agencies

13. Use of the PARIS 21 Advanced Data Planning Tool (ADAPT)

as defined by the national development plan. The tool is

aimed at target countries trying to meet the demands of

global agencies monitoring the SDGs and put these in

context with their own national priorities.

14. Finalization of metadata for the Tier 1 National SDG

indicators and consultation with the relevant

agencies/IACs/TCs

IV. Next Steps

31

15. Assessment of national SDG indicators at the subnational level and training/capacity building of PSA regional offices for the monitoring of SDGs at the local level

16. Hosting of the 2017 International Conference on SDGs

(ICSDGS) – October 4-6, 2017

17. Hosting of the 7th Session of the ASEAN Community

Statistical System (ACSS) Committee in line with the

Chairmanship of the Philippines for the 50th Founding

Anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian

Nations (ASEAN) – October 11-13, 2017
