Perhaps the most crucial, yet most difficult to measure, are the systemic targets (17.13-17.19). Target 17.14 calls for policy coherence for sustainable development, a concept measured by a qualitative indicator tracking national frameworks. Target 17.18 aims to increase the availability of high-quality, timely, and disaggregated data. Its indicators (, 17.18.2 , 17.18.3 ) assess the proportion of national statistical plans that are fully funded and the extent of statistical capacity in LDCs. Finally, Target 17.19, arguably the capstone, measures progress beyond GDP by tracking the number of countries that have conducted a population and housing census and achieved complete birth and death registration. Without knowing who exists, where they live, and how they die, sustainable development is impossible.
