The difference between 100 and countries’ scores is therefore the distance in percentage that needs to be completed to achieving the SDGs and goals. It is a complement to the official SDG indicators and voluntary country-led review processes. It uses publicly available data published by official data providers and other organizations including research centers and non-governmental organizations. Governments and civil society alike can therefore utilize the SDG Index and Dashboards Report to identify priorities for action, understand key implementation challenges, track progress, ensure accountability, and identify gaps that must be closed in order to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
