PREFACE

The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) is the key institution of the National Statistical System (NSS) of Sri Lanka, functioning under the Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs. The DCS collects, compiles and disseminates relevant, reliable and up-to-date statistical information required for planning, implementation and monitoring progress of development and other socio-economic activities in the country. The DCS is entrusted with the duty of conducting all national censuses and surveys, and generate official statistics using administrative records. Data users of the DCS span a wide range from students to international agencies.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) includes a set of seventeen aspirational "Global Goals" with 169 targets and 244 indicators between them. It is officially known as "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". It was adopted by the 194 Member States of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.

The Sustainable Development Goals, otherwise known as the Global Goals, build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight targets that the world committed to achieving by 2015. The MDGs, adopted in 2000, aimed at an array of issues that included slashing poverty, hunger, disease, gender inequality, and access to water and sanitation (United Nations Development Programme, 2016).

The Government of Sri Lanka anticipates achieving the SDGs by 2030 working towards the provision of basic needs of the people, progressive alleviation of poverty, elimination of all forms of discrimination and inequalities, and establishing a society based on social justice and human security. The Economic Policy of the Government outlines the vision setting the `stage for a sustainable development journey'. The Policy aims to develop `an economy that will promote the benefits of development among all. An economy that will be friendly to all, beneficial to all. An economy that will pave the way for sustainable development'.

Production of accessible, timely, and reliable disaggregated data, and building national statistical capacity are essential steps in the process of achieving SDGs. Preparing a report on the availability of data for SDG Indicators is an important endeavour to facilitate establishment of baseline data, monitoring the progress, and reporting the achievements of SDG targets.

This publication titled "Status of Sustainable Development Goals Indicators in Sri Lanka: 2017" presents baseline data and details on the availability of data on SDG Indicators through statistical activities of the DCS.

As in many other countries, official statistics are produced not only by the DCS but also by other institutions in the National Statistical System. The objective of preparing this publication is to provide data compiled by DCS on SDG Indicators and details on SDG Indicators for which data can be compiled by the DCS adding new modules into ongoing censuses and surveys, and through new surveys and special studies. Therefore, users should be aware that this report does not cover data on all SDG Indicators. Data on some SDG indicators need to be compiled by other subject specific institutions on relevant thematic areas and SDGs coming under their purview.
