‘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.

It was a sunny morning on 22nd October 2018 as we made a trip to DOSM – Department of Statistics Malaysia.

We would be having a briefing on a UN SDG Blueprint Development project with the team at DOSM.

The Generic Statistical Business Process Model was referred to United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Ver 5.0, 2013.

Project kick off session at DOSM, Putrajaya Malaysia to prepare the blueprint for the development of a national SDG Data Monitoring Dashboard.

BDAP – Blockchain Data Aggregation Platform

The value added feature would be using blockchain technology to build a Blockchain Data Aggregation Platform (BDAP).

The Blockchain Data Aggregation Platform (BDAP) is an incentivised data exchange utilising the blockchain for authentication and authorisation of data providers that are publishing data to DOSM, an incentivisation model for data providers to gain tokens for sharing data.

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.

In the Executive Summary of Eleventh Malaysia Plan (2016-2020), it was also mentioned that:

Malaysia has continuously embraced sustainable development in the national agenda. In this regard, the commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) has been mapped with the Eleventh Plan to align strategies and initiatives to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The first phase of a roadmap is being developed to provide guidance for the smooth implementation of the 17 SDGs. The roadmap takes into account the nation’s capacities and capabilities in achieving the identified goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda.

SDG Analytics System will be developed by local company CNOPSIS Group.
