What the tool does
Provides a regional databank combining official global SDG-indicator data with proxy and complementary indicators relevant to Latin America and the Caribbean. Offers regional SDG statistical profiles by target, facilitating assessment of progress toward each SDG target. Presents analyses of regional progress and projections to 2030, including assessments of which targets are on track, lagging, or off-track. Allows users to view, compare, and download indicator data across countries and sub-regions.
Target audience
The primary intended users are policymakers and national statistical offices in Latin American and Caribbean countries, especially those coordinating SDG implementation and reporting. The tool is also relevant for researchers, international organisations, civil society, and private-sector stakeholders interested in regional development trends.
