Private finance mobilised
International Public Goods
for sustainable development (e.g. research and peace & security)
No data available in current international statistics

Pilot studies to better understand gaps and ensure that the measure responds to the data needs at country level
2018
Nigeria
Costa Rica
Peace and Security

16. 3. Task Force mandate and progress made so far
Three key workstreams (WS)
WS 1: Finalising the TOSSD methodology
Pillar I methodology now concluded (70% of the work)
Pillar II to be finalised in 2019
WS2: Collecting and analysing TOSSD data
TOSSD Data Survey launched at the end of February 2019
Results expected by end of April 2019
WS3: Integrating TOSSD in the SDG indicator framework and identifying a co-custodian UN agency
TOSSD will be proposed to replace target :
“Foreign direct investment (FDI), official development assistance and South-South cooperation as a proportion of total domestic budget”
TOSSD increasingly recognised in the UN context:
TOSSD mentioned in the last UN StatCom official records
TOSSD mentioned at BAPA+40 conference on South-South and Triangular Cooperation
Upcoming side-events to take place at the FfD Forum, HLPF and the UNGA
