Project Leader: Andrew Fan Chiah Howe
The Jeffrey Sachs Center is developing a dashboard to report the national and ASEAN-level SDG Index, using available and nationally appropriate data that is consistent with those reported in the Global SDG Index by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Bertelsmann Stiftung. The instrument will present the standing of Malaysia, and thereafter, the ASEAN countries, allowing comparison to each other as well as to the best performing countries in the world. The dashboard will particularly highlight and delve deep into areas of critical concern, i.e. those that appear as red flags in each individual country, or as a region wherever applicable. For these areas, a research team will be mobilised to conduct in-depth analysis and put forward practical recommendations, in the aim that countries will pursue all the three pillars sustainable development, namely prosperity, inclusiveness and environmental sustainability.
