Who should go through all these documents?

If you intend to meaningfully contribute to the establishment of monitoring and reporting frameworks for the Pathfinder countries in 2021 you need to carefully go through these documents.

What are we supposed to do with all these documents? 

The expectation is that - ahead of our next Working Group meeting - we will all have taken the time to critically review these documents so that we are ready to discuss issues related to Monitoring and reporting processes for PFCs as well as indicators and reporting template.

There are so many documents... Where to start? 

I recommend you start with this video (7min); it takes you through last year's PFCs' monitoring and reporting process. And then you can dive into the attachments.

By when should we have gone through all the documents? 

The next WG meeting on PFC monitoring and reporting will take place next week Thursday 28 January 2.30-4 pm CET. Please be ready by then to provide your constructive views.

What are the next steps on the other topics? 

Regarding the other meetings, below a reminder of the next dates that you can already mark in your calendars (apologies for typos in my previous communication)

Thursday 4 Feb 2.30-4 pm CET - Topic: Research agenda
Thursday 18 Feb 2.30-4 pm CET - Topic: Full SDG monitoring WG - Status update

If you want to contribute to the 'Monitoring and Reporting Frameworks for Pathfinder countries' please attend the meeting on 28 Jan. If you want to contribute to the 'Research agenda' please attend the meeting on 4 feb. You can come to both, if you want to contribute to both.
