What do the data availability categories mean?
We describe availability of data for each indicator, because absent or existing data may limit usefulness of indicators. Reporting on existing information is an important step in evaluating the utility of individual indicators. The following categories were used for this purpose: A) Methods and procedures for data collecting and reporting; and data sets of useable quality exist at the regional-national level. B) Standardized methods and procedures for data collecting and reporting exist at the regional-national level, but useable data set(s) do not exist at the regional-national level. C) Some data set(s) exist at the regional-national level, but methods and procedures are not standardized at the regional-national level. D) Conceptually feasible or initially promising, but no regional-national methods, procedures or data sets currently exist. Why did you include indicators that are not yet fully developed? Wouldn’t it make more sense to focus on the indicators for which we have existin
