Global online workshops on SDG Indicator 14.4.1 "The proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels"

With a view to raising awareness of countries in monitoring their progress towards the achievement of the SDGs, FAO will be hosting a series of virtual regional workshops and training events in three different languages (English, Spanish, and French) to support the monitoring and reporting of SDG 14.4.1.

The overall goal of the workshops and training events is to raise awareness of the internationally agreed methodologies for SDG Indicator 14.4.1. The workshop series will focus on improved reporting and applied understanding of tools and methodologies to help strengthen capacity to compile relevant data and information, as well as report on and monitor each country’s progress towards Indicator 14.4.1.

Within this context, the general objectives of the workshop and training series are to:

• Raise awareness and understanding of the tools and methodologies developed on SDG Indicator 14.4.1;
• Discuss challenges related to data collection, data availability and sources, analysis and reporting, to identify solutions and priority capacity development needs at the national level;
• Provide hands-on training towards reporting the Indicator;
• Engage in dialogues between national fisheries agencies, national statistics offices and national SDG focal points to facilitate SDG 14.4.1 monitoring and reporting.
