SDG #16 is to “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”
Within SDG #16 are 12 targets, of which we here focus on Target 16.6:
Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels
Target 16.6 has two indicators:
Indicator 16.6.1: Primary government expenditures as a proportion of original approved budget, by sector (or by budget codes or similar)
Indicator 16.6.2: Proportion of population satisfied with their last experience of public services
The first indicator considers the degree to which the original approved budget has kept within the budgeted amount. Although there are some data gaps from missing countries, only about a dozen countries went over budget in 2022, and a similar number under.
For indicator 16.6.2, only a half-dozen countries have reported for satisfaction of public services in 2022.
