1. SDG Relevance
Note
Indicator Requirement: "Digital public goods must demonstrate relevance to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)."
For this indicator, you must submit a description that links your digital solution to the SDG list of targets and indicators (click on each SDG listed on the page to see the list of targets). Only the most relevant SDGs to the solution should be mentioned and you will be required to provide information for each SDG the solution may be relevant to. A good way to provide evidence of this is to:
- Clearly explain the relationship between your digital solution and the selected SDG(s) in a few sentences, pointing to the specific targets you help accomplish.
- Provide any link(s) of a blog post, media post, or public communication (organization mission statement or similar) that talks about any social, public, or relevant contribution to society. It is not necessary that these mention SDGs as long as it relates to the previous explanation.
You can also take inspiration from existing digital public goods on the DPG Registry.
