SUMMARY:UNSC Side Event: The first ever South-South data for SDGs – devel
 oped and reported by the countries of the global South: How to support the
  statistical work?
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, the UN Statistical Commission adopted a new SDG indic
 ator 17.3.1\, and welcomed the development of an initial Conceptual Framew
 ork for the Measurement of South-South Cooperation. It is the first ever 
 Framework developed and agreed upon by the countries of the global South f
 or this specific purpose and enables the reporting of South-South data for
  SDGs\, alongside long-established data on North-South development support
  flows. The Commission asked the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to tes
 t the Framework\, provide capacity building support and enable the reporti
 ng of data globally. Now a Manual has been developed with pioneering count
 ries\, and first data are reported.South-South cooperation is increasingly
  important in advancing progress towards the 2030 Agenda\, alongside other
  development support. But lack of data has kept its contribution largely i
 nvisible\, making it difficult to manage the flows as a strategic resource
 . Now over 60 countries have requested UNCTAD&#039\;s support to start re
 porting South-South data. Questions to be addressed: How can national st
 atistical offices help support the pooling of data from many agencies invo
 lved in South-South cooperation projects.How to organize country-led globa
 l work to refine common methods and develop tools.How to support one anoth
 er in data reporting to amplify the voices of the South in global debates.
