The SDG16 Survey* jointly developed by UNDP, UNODC and OHCHR provides a high quality, well tested tool that countries can use to measure progress on many of the survey-based indicators under SDG16. It can support data production on peace, justice and inclusion (SDG 16) which can help to better understand complex realities that exist at national and local levels. It can help unveil some of the hidden truths of how violence, discrimination, inequality and injustice manifest itself in the community and identify entry points to begin to address some of these persistent challenges.
The Manual is intended to inform practitioners (in particular the NSOs and/or other implementation partners from National Statistical Systems) and a broader professional audience about the technical requirements of implementing the SDG 16 Survey in an internationally comparable and nationally relevant manner. Hence, this Manual focuses on the SDG 16 indicators covered, the specifics of the SDG 16 Survey, and the components of an appropriate quality framework, building from generic guidelines on statistical data collection and measurement theory. The Manual is part of a Resources Package provided by the UNDP, UNODC and OHCHR to guide national implementation, which includes, among others, the following:
- The Implementation Manual (the current document).
- CAPI/CATI (computer-aided personal / telephone interviewing) Scripts: the scripted version of the international source SDG 16 Survey Questionnaire, in Survey Solutions.
- Tabulation plan: standardized templates for indicator reporting with the recommended disaggregation, including tabulation templates for the optional contextual variables, offered by the international standard source questionnaire.
- Syntax: STATA .do files to compute SDG indicators and other variables included in the tabulation plan.
The Manual also provides explanations and instructions related to the instrument to inform the enumerators, including enumerator manuals and curricula to be adopted by the NSOs while preparing for SDG 16 data collection. Note that this Manual is expected to go through periodic updates. Please refer to the OHCHR, UNDP and UNODC websites.
