This framework provides comprehensive list of indicators used to measure progress for SDG targets and suggests where alternative data sources as a proxy for missing indicator data , and which indicator are not relevant for Ethiopia. Monitoring and evaluation of the country development plan, Agenda 2063 and SDG follows similar procedure and system in the country.
