Data & Indicator Dashboards
Sustainable Development Goals
The SDG Dashboard Tool serves as decision support tool for municipal planners to gather data on where their municipalities stand with regard to sustainable development. In SARVA 3.0 each SDG indicator provides a measure of adaptive capacity of districts and local municipalities to respond to global change hazards. We currently have data that covers 15 out of the 17 goals.

Indicator Data
The data presented covers a wide range of indicators and combines the best available data from multiple sources. Where possible data for multiple years is presented. Data is presented at the highest resolution possible but in some cases only National and Provincial Level data is available.
