Within the architecture for managing the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Republic of Belarus and in accordance with international approaches, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus (Belstat) coordinates ensure the coordination of development and monitoring of indicators for achieving the SDGs in the Republic of Belarus. This activity includes a detailed review of each indicator in terms of data availability and relevance to the country, identification of data sources, levels of disaggregation, timing and frequency of information submission to Belstat, and discussion of issues related to the nationalization of SDG indicators.
This work is based on the Global List of SDG indicators, according to which Belstat, together with government agencies, has developed the National List of SDG indicators and the Roadmap for developing SDG statistics, a document that defines steps to build capacity and disseminate statistics on the SDGs.
According to the results of an assessment conducted by Belstat using data for the period from 2015 to 2024, the progress in achieving the SDGs in Belarus is 82.3%. The data availability index has reached 95%, and ten SDGs have 100% data availability.
The information base for the calculations is the data from the National and Regional Lists of indicators for achieving the SDGs. The National List includes 245 indicators, of which 172 correspond to the Global ones. This indicates a very high level of harmonization of the national and global lists. The Regional List includes 137 indicators. At the same time, 77 indicators have been harmonized with the national list, and 60 indicators have been developed considering the specifics of regions.
Lists of SDG indicators are the basis for the National SDG Reporting Platform. The National Platform is a single center for collecting and summarizing data on the current situation of the SDG achievement in the country, as well as an authoritative source of relevant information for planning and tracking progress in the sustainable development of the republic, monitoring the fulfillment of international obligations, and preparing national reports on SDG achievement in the Republic of 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”.
