Vanuatu 2030 – The National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) sets the nation’s 15-year vision for a Stable, Sustainable, and Prosperous Vanuatu. It provides the overarching framework for national priorities and aligns with the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Progress is monitored through the Annual Development Report (ADR), prepared by the Department of Strategic Policy, Planning, and Aid Coordination (DSPPAC). The ADR monitors implementation across the three NSDP pillars Economy, Society, and Environment—through 15 goals, 98 policy objectives, 198 indicators, and 205 targets. The last ADR was published in 2018.

Definition

The “National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) Data Reviewed Annually” indicator measures the frequency and comprehensiveness of the review process for the data collected under the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP). This review process involves assessing the quality, relevance, and completeness of the data to ensure it accurately reflects progress towards the goals and targets outlined in the NSDP.
Concept

This indicator tracks the regularity and thoroughness with which the data related to the NSDP is reviewed by relevant authorities, such as government agencies, statistical offices, or independent evaluators. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the data used to monitor and report on the NSDP’s implementation is accurate, up-to-date, and relevant to the plan’s objectives. An annual review process is crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of the data, which in turn supports effective decision-making and policy adjustments.
Rationale

Monitoring the annual review of NSDP data is essential for ensuring that progress toward sustainable development goals is accurately measured and reported. Regular data reviews help identify gaps, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies in the data, allowing for timely corrections and improvements in data collection and analysis processes. This contributes to more informed decision-making and enhances the credibility of the NSDP monitoring and evaluation framework.
Method of Computation

To compute the “National Sustainable Development Plan Data Reviewed Annually” indicator, assess whether a formal review of NSDP-related data took place during the reporting year. This review should include analysis of progress against the targets and indicators outlined in the NSDP. The indicator is binary, with a “Yes” indicating that the review occurred and a “No” indicating that it did not.
