Finding
India’s 2020 VNR report establishes SDG-related and thematic cross-cutting future steps. In both cases, future actions are first broadly introduced, then divided into specific areas, and translated into concrete measures to be implemented.
For example, after identifying the need to improve the Statistical System as a cross-cutting issue, India introduces four next steps linked to adding indicators for targets that are not covered, improving the frequency of data collection, augmenting data disaggregation, and increasing the quality of data. As part of the latter, three concrete future actions are mentioned: expanding the use of third-party independent survey schemes for data validation, promoting new statistical tools based on communication technologies, and expanding citizen-generated data.
