The success or failure of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will depend, in large part, upon effective monitoring. Well crafted indicators and high quality data will give governments, businesses, academia, and civil society the information they need to target resources, policies, and programs. Good quality data will enable us to track progress on our objectives over time, and to change course if we veer off track.   http://unsdsn.org/what-we-do/data-indicators-follow-up-review/
