dc.descriptionThe project Enhancing Capacity for Measuring Progress towards the Environmental Dimension of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), funded by the European Commission, was instituted to strengthen national capacity for monitoring and reporting on the environmental dimension of the SDGs, including SDG indicators 8.4.1/12.2.1 on material footprint, 8.4.2/12.2.2 on domestic material consumption, 12.3.1b on food waste, 12.4.2 on hazardous waste generated and treated, 12.5.1 on national recycling rate and 17.14.1 on policy coherence. Three tools were newly developed to assist in the compilation of the data necessary to calculate the values for SDG indicators 8.4.2/12.2.2, 12.4.2 and 12.5.1. These tools are formed of (i) Excel spreadsheets containing detailed variables that are calculated together to generate the value of SDG indicators, and (ii) step-by-step documents to guide government officials on filling the Excel spreadsheets. National activities were implemented in different formats in beneficiary countries in Africa and Asia. The aims of the national activities were to deepen government officials’ understanding of the adopted methodologies for SDG indicators, to equip them with the necessary statistical capacity to report on these indicators and as these indicators require data from multiple national stakeholders, engage all stakeholders together for future collaborations.en
