The status quo The way forward
The eighth session of the Joined Task Force: Assessment of the status quo and ideas for the way forward
Most countries are in reach of producing the eight core indicators
Many countries have invested increasing efforts to share indicators online – though
there is room for improvement in the presentation of the indicators
So how shall we shape our way forward?
