shared results: demonstrating good
practice
Overview, preliminary findings

5. Rationale for case study project
• Results community: internal pressures to report results
domestically can contradict commitments to support and align
to country results frameworks, and country-led data
• Interest in how partners and providers can, in practice, use the
SDGs as a shared framework for results
• This can:
– Increase ownership, harmonisation of indicators
– Reduce duplication and costly data collection
– Create a platform for dialogue and learning
• Builds on existing analysis – takes a “deep dive”

6. Focus on 3 SDG targets/ indicators
Target: 4.1 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and
quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective
learning outcomes
 Indicator: 4.1.1 Proportion of children and young people: (a) in grades 2/3;
(b) at the end of primary; and (c) at the end of lower secondary achieving at
least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics, by sex
Target: 6.2. By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and
hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs
of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.
 Indicator: 6.2.1. Proportion of population using safely-managed sanitation
services, including a hand-washing facility with soap and water
Target: 7.1. By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and
modern energy services.
 Indicator: 7.1.1. Proportion of population with access to electricity

7. Analytic framework

8. Approach
• Fieldwork and indicator analysis components
• Strong support from donor focal points, project steering group
• Complete by April 2018 – reports will be available online

9. Preliminary findings: the Kenya case
• SDGs integrated into medium-term plan and measurement
framework. Opportunity for development co-operation providers to
align to the SDGs through Kenya’s country results framework, a
work in progress.
• Monitoring of access to sanitation (SDG 6.2.1) is fragmented;
Pilot SDG 6 reporting = strong institutional framework, which
could now be supported by development of a single data
system, and by addressing specific monitoring challenges.
• Monitoring of access to electricity (SDG 7.1.1) well-
established, government-led and driven by high profile targets.
BUT data quality and use challenges amplified as electrification
moves beyond the grid.

10. Overall preliminary findings – for discussion
Alignment
• Many similar, but slightly different indicators (SDG alignment is mixed) – little data.
• Lack of internal harmonisation by individual providers between corporate indicators (tier 2) and their
country-assistance strategy indicators.
• At country-level, potential more co-ordinated approach to results and data through sector-level
working groups – linking to overall SDG institutional set up (central agencies)
Measurement & use
• Need for capacity building for data generation and use: integrated into development co-operation
investments:
• Disaggregation M/F, urban/rural
• Single source of data – integrated systems (national and sub-national)
• Enhanced support for use of data – platforms for dialogue

11. Next steps
• Validation of findings in Ethiopia, Myanmar (Nov)
• Further analysis of indicator inventories required – can we assess
the degree of alignment?
 traffic light methodology
• Publication of indicator inventories? Data?
• Planning for extension of project – different SDGs in other
countries?

13. 1. How can the SDGs be used as a shared framework for results at country-
level?
2. What challenges & opportunities have emerged for alignment, measurement
and use of SDG-aligned results data?
3. How can the OECD/DAC Results Community further support?
Panellists:
• Kenya central agency: Mr. Stephen Odhiambo Nabakho, Chief Economist, The National Treasury & Planning
(VC)
• Kenya line ministry: Eng. Rose Ngure, Deputy Director, Sewerage and Sanitation, Ministry of Water and
Sanitation, Kenya (VC)
• Donor focal point: Julia Kroemer, Results Reporting Officer, DG International Co-operation and Development,
European Commission
Panellists – responses to the preliminary
findings

14. • Each table has been given a booklet of questions
• Appoint a facilitator and a scribe for each group
• Four questions, make sure you have time to discuss
all the questions and agree on and record a response
Please note: there are no right and wrong answers,
and this is not a data collection exercise; you are being
asked to agree on multi-choice options as a way to
stimulate discussion and debate.
Group discussions 15:15 -16:15

Accountability
