LOCAL DATA ACTION
2018-2019 Microgrant Program
Identifying and promoting methods for sub-national SDG monitoring
SDSN’s Local Data Action Solutions Initiative (LDA-SI) was established as a joint effort between TReNDS and the USA Sustainable Cities Initiative as a program with one primary objective: to identify and promote replicable methods for sub-national SDG monitoring that facilitate local action in support of the “leave no one behind” principle (LNOB).
Through a 2018-2019 microgrant program, LDA-SI supported data localization efforts in:
Early and late phases of the program garnered additional insights from Brazil; Baltimore, Maryland and San José, California in the U.S.A.; and Bristol, England.
The resulting briefs and reports detail SDG localization challenges in these varying regions, as well as the data solutions they designed to support SDG achievement.
