How to measure distance to SDG targets anywhere
Adapting the methodology of the Measuring Distance to the SDG Targets study to go
beyond OECD countries, with an application to selected Latin American countries
Achieving the 2030 Agenda requires understanding how far countries are from achieving
its 17 goals and their 169 targets. To assist member countries in this assessment,
the OECD Measuring Distance to the SDG Targets study applied a specific methodology
showing how far OECD countries will have to travel to achieve the 2030 targets. This
paper expands the methodology for use in different settings, including in non-OECD
countries. It also illustrates the impact of different methodological choices on this
assessment. The paper also uses an innovative approach to classify SDG indicators
along the input-process-output-outcome chain, and presents a case study of adapting
the methodology in the setting of select LAC countries.
