 Mapping with SDGs and Development of Indicators
• The African Statistics Community, through African Symposium for
Statistical Development (ASSD), developed Indicators for SDG in
the First half of 2015, and further costed them in preparation for
implementation.
• Mapping Exercise
• A complete set of Indicators for the FTYIP was developed and
validated by Statistician Community.
• Need to produce minimum list of Indicators (Core Indicators)
Reduce the cost / burden on Member States in reporting the outcomes
of the FTYIP
Minimize the divergence between the FTYIP and the SDG indicators
 Consultation Meetings
 Planning the process for developing a measurement framework within the context of the
Strategy For Harmonisation Of Statistics In Africa (SHaSA) for Agenda 2063 First Ten Year
Implementation Plan - JULY 2015
 The steering committee meeting (AUC, ECA, AfDB, ACBF and ASSD – September 2015
 Leveraging Monitoring And Evaluation (M&E) And Resource Mobilization Best Practices
Within AUC and (RECs) – September 2015;
 Multidisciplinary Expert Group Meeting - October 2015
 The development of a road map for the convergence of Monitoring And Evaluation
Systems of RECs For Agenda 2063 - November 2015
 Multidisciplinary Expert Group meeting to review the proposed list of indicators for the
first 10 year implementation plan of Agenda 2063 - December 2015
 Selection Criteria
• First set of Criteria
Identify Agenda 2063 indicators that have 100% convergence with the SDGs
Indicators for the 12 Agenda 2063 flagship projects. These should be included as
national and regional indicators, irrespective of whether they have been included as
part of the initial core indicators or not.
Outcome indicators were to be given higher priority than output indicators.
Dominance: the dominant indicator that covers most sub-sets was expected to be
considered. Macro data could be monitored by the RECs with the expectations that
the Member States would monitor the sub-sets within the respective communities.
This approach was expected to reduce repetitions.
Ease of computation.
Relevance to Africa and its peculiarities.
 Selection Criteria
 Second set of criteria
Use the super core indicators as the baseline for the work
Review the work of the AUC/ECA Group against the background of:
Clarity and Appropriateness
Goal is to reduce from 80 indicators to 50 indicators as guided by the following:
Focus on outcome indicators or outcome targets
Indicators for flagship projects cannot be left out
Transformative indicators cannot be dropped: Economic transformation, Skills
revolution, Africa revolution, Gender/Youth
Integration indicators: Infrastructure, Economic, Political, Social
An Agenda 2063 Super Core Indicator may be replaced with an SDG indicator if
the group feels it is smarter.
 Outcome

• Provide a summary of the spreadsheet table ( the

number of indicators for the entire FTYIP; the number
core ; the number core that are both for FTYIP and the
SDGs- by aspiration)
The Way Forward
• Profiling and development of Metadata
• Incorporation of their inputs
• Use of Tunisia Outcome to develop the Accountability
Framework ( MS, RECs and the AUC/NEPAD and AU Organs)
• Validation Meeting with African Experts ( Development
Practitioners, Think Tanks etc)
• STC on Finance, Economy, Planning and Integration
• AU Policy Organs
