Challenges: Regional Level data largely missing—SAARCSTAT
Targets setting
Unavailability of Data
Definitional Issues
Broad Categories
Definitional changes over time
Definitional differences across countries
Issues of Comparability
Reconciliation of Quantitative & Qualitative
Indicators
![Page 21: Introduction: Factoids on SAARC - UNDP](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020910/62003aaee3aed7333149d14d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Opportunities: Common culture, society, history—political will
Importance of SAARC as a regional economic bloc
Demand for data & information
Importance of knowledge sharing
Need for regional level tracking system to develop
SAARC as a region

Way Forward: Need to populate Data
Need to set Targets
Regional, National, Provincial levels
Need to develop common set of definitions for
indicators
Need to identify country-specific data sources
Means of availability
Means of verifiability
Develop SAARC regional level tracking system
Monitoring Plan
Evaluation Framework
Data Generation means
