Use of internationally-accepted statistical business processes (General Statistical Business Process Model)
Costing of activities
Costing by stage, by object of expenditures (UACS)
Profiling of statistical activities

Forward estimates. For agencies with administrative data systems (DEPED, DOH)
To avoid overlaps/conflict of schedule and duplication (with other internal activities and with other agencies’ activities

13. as of September 2016

14. Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Data for SDGs
To conduct data assessment of the Global SDG Indicators by accomplishing the SDG Matrix based on the Philippine context
To provide initial proxy indicators to supplement, if possible, TIER 2 and 3 global SDG indicators
To identify additional indicators, if deemed necessary, to the initially identified global list of indicators
TIER I – Indicator is conceptually clear, established methodology and standards available and data regularly produced by countries
TIER II – Indicator conceptually clear, established methodology and standards available but data are not regularly produced by countries
TIER III – Indicator for which there are no established methodology and standards or methodology/ standards are being developed/tested

15. Content of SDG Matrix Content of the Matrix
Accountable organization (e.g., DepED, LGUs, etc.)
Relevance (if included in the Philippine Development Plan)
Priority (for tier 2 or 3 indicators)
Level/s of disaggregation needed to make the indicator more relevant
Remarks

17. Highlights of Results
Tier 1 – with established methodology , regularly collected
Tier 2 - with established methodology, data not regularly collected
Tier 3 - no established methodology, methodologies are being developed/tested
