Author: Justin Angelo O. Bantang, Dave Dianne O. Ludoc
Abstract:
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 aims to promote inclusive industrialization, infrastructure resiliency and innovation that uplifts small enterprises, encompass communities in rural areas, and ensures that physical and mobile connectivity is accessible for everyone. This scoping study focuses on exploring the existing international and local definitions, data collection and computation methodologies of for indicators that are nationally classified as Tier 2 and Tier 3. This study also identifies which among these indicators can be subjected to further methodological studies, with the end goal of potentially promoting its tier classification. SDG Indicators 9.c.1 and 9.1.1, both Tier 2 indicators, were recommended for the improvement of local methodology through the use of other data and/or methodologies. Meanwhile, proxy indicators to measure SDG Indicators 9.4.1 and 9.3.2 may be further explored.
