Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

The Centre generates data-informed insights on peace, justice and strong institutions. The Centre’s flagship report produced together with other UN agencies – Global progress report on Sustainable Development Goal 16 indicators: A wake-up call for action on peace, justice and inclusion is launched each year providing the latest analysis of data available on SDG 16 indicators. As countries seek to meet the goals and targets of Agenda 2030, they are increasingly recognising the relevance of SDG 16 as an enabler and accelerator of all SDGs. 

The Centre also works with research partners to advance much needed understanding of the interlinkages between SDG 16 and other SDGs through the ‘Connections that Matter’ series that researches connections between promoting peace, justice and strong institutions and ending poverty and inequality (SDGs 1 & 10), the sustainable use of the oceans (SDG 14) and climate action (SDG 13).

A wide range of actors are working to close the data gaps on SDG 16 through partnerships, technological innovations, taking advantage of digital opportunities, and developing new data collection tools and methodologies. The Centre engages in a broad range of initiatives in collaboration with partners to support these efforts.
