GSP: introducing progress indicators for the 2016 reporting exercise
PROGRESS INDICATORS • Formerly known as impact indicators, progress indicators are intended to track progress of the strategic objectives (SO) of The Strategy
OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENTATION • Introducing the new reporting requirements for SO 1, 2 and 3 • Helping NFPs and reporting officers to familiarize early enough with the main elements of the new reporting template • Gathering a preliminary feedback from Parties on the new reporting template
PROGRESS INDICATORSas adopted at COP 11 (decision 22) Associated metrics/proxies Poverty severity OR Income inequality Proportion of population using an improved drinking water source Vegetative land cover Land productivity dynamics Soil organic carbon stock Global Wild Bird Index
COP11 - MAIN INNOVATIONS(decision 22) • Broader use of readily available global data sources: • Reporting is only “required for those indicators for which standardized global datasets that can be disaggregated to the subnational level exist” (para 7) • The secretariat is requested “to provide affected country Parties with national estimates of each respective metric(s)/prox(y)(ies) of the progress indicators based on available data sources” (para 8) • Parties are urged “to subsequently verify or replace these national estimates using data sourced/computed nationally/locally” (para 8) Let’s look at an example…
Trends in access to safe drinking water in affected areasSO1-2 Prefilled by the secretariat Parties can validate default data The table can now be filled by Parties with national data Proportion of population using an improved drinking water source Or not..
…Biodiversity related indicator: No suitable global datasets UNCCD NFPs are encouraged to coordinate at country level with their CBD counterpart with the aim tointegrate in the report to the UNCCD the same information/indicators used for the report to the CBD (particularly on Aichi Target 7 and 15). Trends in biodiversity-related indicatorsSO3-2 Extract from draft reporting template (page 18) Qualitative assessment
COP11 - MAIN INNOVATIONS(decision 22) • Parties can complement the six common progress indicators with quantitative/qualitative nationally relevant indicators based on existing national and local databases • The selection and reporting of nationally/locally relevant indicators should be linked to the NAP alignment process
…The last section of the draft template gives Parties the possibility to report on additional quantitative or qualitative progress indicators related to strategic objectives 1, 2 and 3 Nationally relevant indicatorsSO123 Extract from draft reporting template (page 19) Qualitative assessment
AFFECTED AREAS • “For the purpose of reporting on progress indicators affected Parties are required to delineate affected areas according to the text of the Convention” (decision 22/COP11) • Default data which will be included in the reporting template refer to arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid classes of the UNEP aridity index (http://csi.cgiar.org/Aridity/) • Parties are free to replace default data with data sourced/computed nationally/locally
…The “Country profile” section of the template gives Parties the possibility to report data and information on the extent of affected areas and on the proportion of affected populations Country profileAffected areas Extract from draft reporting template (page 3)
In the case of land cover, land productivity and soil carbon, Parties are requested to also provide information specific to affected areas. Default data will be provided. Trends in land coverSO2-1 Extract from draft reporting template (page 10)
NEXT STEPS • The draft reporting template for SO123 will be further refined based on feedback received from: • Parties • Major data providers/partner institutions • The final reporting template for SO123 will be translated in all UN official languages • The reporting manual and the glossary of terms and definitions will be updated with information on progress indicators in due time prior to the 2016 reporting
