The information base served national and UNO reports on the SDG monitoring and implementation process. The research results reveal that Moldova has identified a higher number of SDG indicators (337) compared to Georgia (202) and the availability of indicators for Moldova is higher than for Georgia, respectively 80% and 46.5%. Strategic policies integrate the SDGs according to the priorities of the countries.
