1. Establishing National SDGs Indicators in Mexico
Expert Meeting on Statistics for SDGs
Enrique Ordaz
April, 2017
INEGI

2. General context
Mexico led the discussion on social and economic inclusion at the Open Working Group, and organized three international workshops to address the issue.
The SDGs should be built on three basic principles: universality, sustainability and inclusive development.
Inclusive development is one that generates opportunities for all and effective access to human rights, especially among the most vulnerable and vulnerable groups: "leave no one behind".

3. General context
The Mexican Government has pledged to adopt the 2030 Agenda as a national commitment.
We are defining the national frame to follow-up of the SDGs in line with the global framework.
As most countries, we also face a challenge in producing all the data at the national and subnational levels, with the required disaggregation.
Open, inclusive process with the participation of civil society, academia, private sector.
At the General Assembly de President of Mexico declared the 2030 Agenda to be of general interest for the development of Mexico. IN this sense the Committee is working to define the national frame for monitoring the SDGs. Probably the main challenge form the statistical point of view is the production of quality and timely data to respond to the political demand from the government.
In assessing our capacity we have as a reference the CES pilot work on sustainable development from ; we participated in the pilot test and resulted in an immediate availability of 2/3 of the indicators. However we understand that we are facing a different challenge.

4. The institutional setting
National Statistical and Geographic Information System.
Composed of 34 technical committees on different subject matters.
The technical committee on SDGs is transversal.
Headed by the Office of the Presidency of the Republic.
Within the System of Statistical and Geographic Information we have 34 acting committees addressing statistical and geographical issues on different topics, ranging from poverty to national accounts, environment and security. The Committee on SDG is horizontal and convenes representatives of most of those 34. It is headed by the Office of the President of the Republic and we act as the technical secretariat.

5. The National Indicator Framework
February 2014, Workshop on indicators on social inclusion for the Post-2015 Agenda.
Government, academia, civil society, international organizations.
This workshop resulted in an initial list of more than 270 indicators, measurable, possible and desirable.
In the following months a pre-selection was made, with more than 100 indicators that can be measured with current national capacities and with different levels of disaggregation.

6. Inputs for the National Indicator Framework
Global Indicator Framework, aprox. 96 indicators
Social Inclusion, 30 indicators
National Set of Indicators, 9 indicators
Millennium Development Goals, 40 indicators
Around 175 indicators
Climate Change Related Statistics, 39 UNECE (testing)
Consenso de Montevideo, 132 indicators on population
Estrategia de Montevideo, 74 actions on women
ECLAC´s regional framework, to be defined
Considering the use of the OECD´s Well-being framework

7. Principles for the National Indicator Framework
Address medium and long term development social, economic and environmental objectives linked to public policy priorities
Flexible and dynamic: balance among goals and targets.
Identify global indicators for which Mexico will not produce a national version.
Need to strike a balance between national and subnational.
Include one additional indicator for each target without indicator.

8. Assessing our statistical capacity
First phase: initial assessment of the ministries´ capacity to produce data for the global indicator framework and national proposals.
Data source, frequency, coverage, disaggregation etc.
Second phase: inter-agency working groups to review in depth data availability, existing methodologies, expectations for producing new data collection tools, potential of administrative records.
Third phase: define the indicators for national monitoring, to be produced within the next two years,
The plan of work of the committee currently involves 3 phases. The first one began at the beginning of March. We sent out a questionnaire to get a first glimpse of the declared capacity from the federal government agencies involved in the SDSGs.
In the second stage we will form expert working groups from different agencies to work on the production of indicators, on methodologies, data collection tools and to agree on a tier classification based on the one from the IAEG SDG.
For the third phase, we will define the national indicators and select those for which data is available and can be produced and published, and those for which further work on capacity is required

11. Sub-national monitoring
For the MDGs the indicator coverage for the 32 states was 52 indicators out of a total of 80.
For the 2,456 municipalities, there is a coverage of only 17 indicators.
Local indicators produced by each state and municipality.
States governments do voluntary reporting.

12. Challenges Custodians will be needed.
Developing capacities for sub-national indicators.
Developing the data flow schemes within the country.
Harmonize SDGs indicators to the extent possible with other global or regional agendas.
Check burden
Of course we face challenges, here is a list of some of them.
