As the custodian organization for 21 SDG indicators and a contributing agency to another five indicators, one of the Organization’s top priorities is to improve the capacity of Member countries to measure the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and monitor the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. With now less than ten years left until 2030, measuring the SDG indicators under FAO custodianship not only consists in measuring countries’ progress in the achievement of the SDGs and preparing credible voluntary national reviews, but is also key to support evidencebased decision-making for sustainable investments and the needed transformation of the food and agricultural sector. Measuring SDG indicators is also essential to raise awareness on the challenges faced in the food and agriculture sector and inform flagship publications, including the “State of the World” collection. Finally, it is vital to monitor progress in the implementation of regional and international agendas, including the Malabo Declaration, the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and Agenda 2063.
