‘We are the first generation that can end poverty, the last that can end climate change’ ~ Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. The National SDG Progress Monitoring System is a tool and an enabler. The challenge is how do we provide quality data in a timely matter. Technologies such as Edge Computing and IoT will contribute to part of it.
The launching of Phase 1 for MySDG Analytics was a smooth one.
Keynote by Mohamad Faizal Bin Shebli from CNOPSIS Group on the first blockchain implementation within Malaysia ministry under MySDG platform project for DOSM and UN.
There was a panel discussion session on SDG Progress Monitoring Systems and the Importance of Data for SDG Achievement, moderated by Mr. Ahmad Rizal Khalit from Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The panelists include Ms Irina Tisacova, Madam Nazaria Baharudin, Prof Datuk Denison Jayasooria, and Mr. Anthony Mockler.
While the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, this single step is worth the acknowledgement as it shows the ability of a national team to deliver what had been planned.
Congratulations to team CNOPSIS, team DOSM and team UNCT Malaysia for making this happen.
