Target 17.18: Enhance availability of reliable data
By 2020, enhance capacity-building support to developing countries, including for least developed countries and small island developing States, to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics relevant in national contexts.
Indicators
Number of countries that have national statistical legislation that complies with the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics
Definition
The indicator addresses the presence of national legislation that ensures that the fundamental principles of official statistics are observed in the national statistics office (Statistics Denmark). Statistics Denmark follows recommendations regarding the organisation and management of quality given in the Code of Practice for European statistics (Code of Practice, CoP). The CoP is based on the UN's ten principles for statistics.
Denmark therefore meets the criteria for this indicator, cf. the UN's homepage on SDG data.
