E-Handbook on SDG Framework and Metadata

E-Handbook on SDG Framework and Metadata provide Up-to-date information on the Sustainable Development indicators, their Tier category and the official metadata as per custodian agency. The E-Handbook is a resourceful tool that includes, where available, background information, country examples, and other resources to provide in-depth knowledge to data producers and users to improve collection, compilation and analysis. This document contains the latest updated tier classification, based on changes made by the Inter-agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) following its physical meetings since March 2016 and its WebEx meetings in September 2018. The tier classification of many indicators is expected to change as methodologies are developed and data availability increases.

For any questions about a particular indicator (definition, method of computation, etc.), please kindly contact the focal point for the indicator. For questions about the coordination of global monitoring, please contact Heather Page from the UN Statistics Division.
