Why is this tool necessary?

To build a better future we need to understand where action is needed. By turning data into useful, actionable information, this tool enables evidence-based decision making and ensures greater transparency and accountability around the implementation of the Global Goals and targets.

How does Goal Tracker work?

Goal Tracker is built on a foundation of core features and data visualisation tools that can be adapted to any country. Together with local partners available data and relevant policies are analysed and then the platform is customised for each country. It draws on national statistics but can also pull data from many of other sources.

Our experience

Goal Tracker builds on technology and experiences from Data Act Lab’s collaboration with the Colombian government to develop Colombia’s SDG platform. Launched in March 2018, the informative platform visualises Colombia’s SDG policies, data availability and progress on reaching its national targets for 2030.
