Section 2: Mapping Results and Challenges on Data Consolidation
have data on the base year of (2014 or 2015) to allow values for target year to be derived. We cannot measure the performance of attaining the targets when we only have one data. The data should be collected frequently in a period of time. 6. The target’s indicators are too ambitious and unrealistic. The indicators should be designed not only for defining success and failure but also for valuing the performance even though we do not perform in a significant result. If we set the target too ambitious, we will come up with a failure result. For example Indonesia will be able to increase the access to water and sanitation by half. It may sound unrealistic target. 7. Some of the indicators measure progress in terms of development outcomes (such as reducing maternal mortality) instead of development outputs (such as enrolling girls in school). Whereas achieving outcomes is a longer and more difficult process than achieving output targets. Otherwise, the SDG is only focus on relatively short term and concrete targets

8. The unit measurement is not applicable. The indicators are not measured by a proper measurement unit. For example the number of villages that establishes organic farming which means organic farming has been implemented fully in one village. In reality, the percentage of area that has been used for organic farming do not reach one third of the village area. Then we cannot measure it as one village. The proposed indicator should be the number of organic farming and the area size. 9. The indicators are too specific. It will be difficult to collect the data if the indicator is too specific. For example the persentage of the districts policy readiness in responding to public health emergencies that has plague potential and women partisipation level in the sustainable livelihood group.
