9 February 2021

As part of the architecture for managing the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and in accordance with international approaches, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus (Belstat) coordinates the production and monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal indicators in the Republic of Belarus. This activity involves a detailed examination of each indicator in terms of data availability and its relevance for the country, identification of data sources, levels of disaggregation, timing and frequency of submission of information to Belstat, and discussion of issues of nationalization of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators.

The basis of this work was the National List of the SDG indicators, in accordance with which Belstat, together with government agencies, formed the National List of SDG Indicators and the Roadmap for the Development of SDG Statistics – a document that defines steps for building capacity and disseminating statistics on SDGs.

As of September 2024, the National List includes 246 indicators: 172 of which correspond to the global level, 10 indicators are calculated using GIS technologies. 232 indicators relevant to Belarus are available for measurement.

By the end of 2023, progress towards achieving the SDGs in Belarus is 80.5%. The progress on the indicators with available statistics and time series at least two years was 88%.

The list of SDG indicators is the basis of the National SDG Reporting Platform. The National Platform is a single center for collecting and summarizing data on the current situation in achieving the SDGs in the country, as well as an authoritative source of up-to-date information for planning and tracking progress in the sustainable development of the republic, monitoring the implementation of international obligations, and preparing national reports on the SDGs achievement in Belarus.

The official statistics on the SDGs is available on the Belstat website. and is also reflected in the Statistical data book “Belarus on the Pathway to Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals”.
