The PSA-RSSO I and National Economic and Development Authority- Regional Office I (NEDA-RO I) adopted the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) SDG measures namely, UNESCAP’s Anticipated Progress Approach and UNESCAP’s Current Status Index. These measures provide information on how our region should advance to ensure the achievement of the SDGs by 2030 and make use of the baseline, latest data, and numerical targets for each of the indicators. The said targets were determined through consultative workshops organized by the NEDA-RO I together with PSA and concerned agencies.

The Ilocos Region SDG pace of progress used the methodology developed by the UNESCAP and stated on the approved PSA Board Resolution No. 05, Series of 2020. This includes the Current Status Index, which measures the progress made from the baseline year. The progress was computed at the goal level using indicators with at least 2 data points, and the 2030 numerical target. On the other hand, the Anticipated Progress  was utilized to track performance at the target and indicator level by 2030. It presents the expected progress and how likely the targets will be achieved by 2030 based on the pace of progress developed in the past. This requires the indicators to have at least 3 data points, and the 2030 numerical target.
