12. CURRENT SITUATION OF FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM FOR MONITORING OF NSSD IMPLEMENTATION (IRIS) • From July 2017 to July 2018, the Ministry implemented the project "Establishing an integrated system for reporting on the progress in the implementation of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development" • Key results of this project:   • IRIS system installed on the server • IRIS has been programmed for 33 priority indicators • A new application has been created that allows "upload" data to the IRIS system, which can also be used for fast data sharing and monitoring of MSDT over the reporting process • A translated manual for the use of IRIS A manual for using the Indicator Upload System and reporting on 33 priority indicators • A bilingual footage of trainings conducted by UNEP representatives on the use of IRIS • Recommendations: platform is quite complicated for use (possible only with continuous IT support); Instead of accelerating and facilitating the process of reporting, the current version of IRIS makes the process unnecessarily complicated; it is reccomended to start building a “national” application
