| Definition and concepts |
[a] An open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction established by the General Assembly (resolution 69/284) is developing a set of indicators to measure global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework. These indicators will eventually reflect the agreements on the Sendai Framework indicators. |
| Unit of measure |
Number(binary YES=1 and NO=0) |
| Data sources |
National Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC) |
| Data collection method |
National Progress Report of the Sendai Monitor. |
| Data collection calendar |

| Data release calendar |

| Data providers |

| Data compilers |
Kenya National Bureau Of Statistics |
| Institutional mandate |
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) is established under the Statistics Act, 2006 as the principal agency of the Government for collecting, analyzing and disseminating statistical data in Kenya and as the custodian of official statistical information |
| Rationale |
The indicator will build bridge between the SDGs and the Sendai Framework for DRR. Increasing number of national governments that adopt and implement national and local DRR strategies, which the Sendai Last updated: 2017-07-07 Framework calls for, will contribute to sustainable development from economic, environmental and social perspectives. |
| Comment and limitations |
Members of both the OEIWG and the IAEG-SDGs have addressed that indicators that simply count the number of countries are not recommended, instead that, indicators to measure progress over time have been promoted. Further to the deliberations of the OEIWG as well as the IAEG, UNISDR has proposed computation methodologies that allow the monitoring of improvement in national and local DRR strategies over time. These methodologies range from a simple quantitative assessment of the number of these strategies to a qualitative measure of alignment with the Sendai Framework, as well as population coverage for local strategies. |
| Method of computation |
Data from National Progress Reports of the Sendai Monitor |
| Validation |
None |
| Methods and guidance available to countries for the compilation of the data at the national level |
It is expected that by 2020, all member states will report their DRR strategies according to the recommendations and guidelines by the OEIWG |
| Quality management |
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics is ISO certified based on 9001:2015 Standard requirements. The processes of compilation, production, publication and dissemination of data, including quality control, are carried out following the methodological framework and standards established by the KNBS, in compliance with the Internationally acceptable standards |
| Quality assurance |
The KNBS adheres to Kenya Statistical Quality Assurance Framework (KesQAF) that underlines principles to be assured in managing the statistical production processes and output. Data consistency and quality checks are conducted through Technical Working Groups (TWGs) before publication and dissemination |
| Quality assessment |
The processes of compilation, production, publication and dissemination of data, including quality control are subjected to a set criteria and standards to ensure conformity. |
| Data availability and disaggregation |
Kenya has been reporting this indicator at National level. |
| Comparability/deviation from international standards |
The information is collected as per the HFA Monitor and Sendai Monitor |
