Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals through Better Local-Level Data

This publication presents a case study in East Java, Indonesia, about ADBs collaboration with local governments and other stakeholders in monitoring, implementing, raising awareness, and advocating for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs set global, big-picture targets that nations have committed to attaining. However, unless action is taken at the local level, these targets can never be reached. The case study on Lumajang and Pacitan district demonstrate how ADB has been helping to make data available and accessible in a visually attractive and easy-to-understand way for different local stakeholders, thereby contributing to localizing SDGs.
