Abstract: This paper assesses progress pertaining to data availability and challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Bangladesh by reviewing the Government's SDG Tracker and relevant national policy documents. The results show that 36.9 per cent of the Sustainable Development Goals indicators are updated, 31.7 per cent are being updated and for 32.1 per cent, updates are unavailable, whereas 84.6 per cent of data are unavailable for Goal 12 and 60 per cent for Goal 14. Accordingly, urgent efforts are required to make quality data available for all indicators through effective multisectoral partnerships, coordination and integration among stakeholders.
