Resources for you: The daily play by play, or the quick reference
Earlier this month, the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators met in Mexico City, Mexico, to further craft the indicator framework for the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.
NGOsbeyond2014.org, a resource for stakeholders interested in specific areas of the MDGs and SDGs, has written a series of articles revolving around this recent meeting. The four articles deal with individual presentations and quotes from various days of the meeting, and are a good resource for understanding the conversations that took place over the indicators in Mexico City.

Another resource for IAEG-SDGs meeting information, is the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. This entity, which includes the Statistical Commission and the IAEG-SDGs, posted its own follow up article from the Mexico City meeting. A shorter read, the article mostly outlines the general history of the IAEG-SDGs and the opening remarks of their 3rd meeting.
