Compiling National Metadata for the Sustainable Development Goals in the Russian language

The 2030 Agenda encourages member states to conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels which are country-led and country-driven. This course focuses on building capacity in countries for reporting on the SDG indicators using national indicator frameworks. During the course participants will learn about key concepts around metadata, particularly related to the SDGs, learn how to fill the SDG metadata template and better understand the importance of metadata to help explain the data and potential differences between data. The target participants are officials in national statistical offices, line ministries and other institutions who are responsible for providing data and metadata for one or more national SDG indicators. The course can also be useful to a wider audience who is interested to learn more about metadata in the SDG context.
