Almost 10 years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, countries still rely on out-of-date and incomplete statistics to inform implementation and review progress. SIDS, in particular, are facing a unique set of challenges. These are well documented and are underlined in the recent “Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States (ABAS): A Renewed Declaration for Resilient Prosperity”, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA), the Paris Agreement and the 2018 OECD report “Making Development Co-operation Work for Small Island Developing States”, These documents all recognize that improved data collection and statistical analysis are required to enable SIDS to effectively plan, follow up on, evaluate the implementation of and track success in attaining the SDGs and other internationally agreed development goals. To support SIDS to address their data capacity challenges, DESA’s United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the SIDS Unit of the Division for the Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) have jointly developed the project Data for SIDS (DATAS), with the overall objective of strengthening the capacities of national statistical systems to produce and disseminate better and more timely data and statistics to inform decision making through four interconnected components; (i) national data governance and coordination; (ii) national data production and availability; (iii) national data dissemination and reporting and; (iv) SIDS to SIDS collaboration and experience exchange. This will accelerate the country’s progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while pursuing national development objectives.
