\u2014 but it is far more. It is also a governance crisis. Governments face daunting responsibilities as they design, implement and enforce new measures to prevent the spread of the disease. If well-calibrated, these measures can reaffirm a government\u2019s commitment to the principles of equality, accountability and participation as laid out in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 \u2013 even in times of crisis. This is critical to (re-)build trust between authorities and populations, at a time when governments need it most. And, as reminded by the UN Secretary-General, COVID-19 responses that are shaped by these principles also result in better outcomes in beating the pandemic: they help mitigate the \u201csecondary impacts\u201d of the crisis on people\u2019s lives, and avoid creating new or exacerbating existing problems, such as food insecurity or domestic violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"pxayhsqe7v7m5s2xe\">This document is the first guidance on governance statistics during Covid-19 and serves as an executive summary of Praia City Group\u2019s Handbook on Governance Statistics which focuses on eight dimensions of governance. It offers <strong>practical measurement advice <\/strong>and some <strong>recommended indicators<\/strong>, including on SDG 16, to data producers and also helps data users such as policy-makers, civil society or media to explore what governance data is and to demand it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pxayhsqe7v7m5s2xe\">To read the full Guidance Note, click on the file below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"card-files\">\n<h5 class=\"card-files__title\">Files<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"card-files__grid\">\n<li class=\"card-file\"><a class=\"card-file__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/files\/system\/files\/2020-11\/undp- praia city group- governance statistics on covid-19 final_web.pdf\" title=\"Guidance Note\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"card-file__title\">Guidance Note<\/span><span class=\"card-file__type\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"card-file__icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/files\/profiles\/contrib\/social\/themes\/socialbase\/assets\/images\/mime-icons\/icon_1_pdf_x16.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/files\/profiles\/contrib\/social\/themes\/socialbase\/assets\/images\/mime-icons\/icon_1_pdf_x32.png 2x\" alt=\"pdf\"\/><span class=\"card-file__size\">1.55 MB<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false,"raw":""},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guidance Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-234","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia City Group Guidance Note | SDG 16<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/content\/governance-statistics-covid-19-era-praia-city-group-guidance-note\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia City Group Guidance Note | SDG 16\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Guidance Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/content\/governance-statistics-covid-19-era-praia-city-group-guidance-note\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SDG 16\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia City Group Guidance Note | SDG 16","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/content\/governance-statistics-covid-19-era-praia-city-group-guidance-note","og_type":"article","og_title":"Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia City Group Guidance Note | SDG 16","og_description":"Guidance Governance Statistics in the COVID-19 Era: a Praia [&hellip;]","og_url":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/content\/governance-statistics-covid-19-era-praia-city-group-guidance-note","og_site_name":"SDG 16","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"1 minute"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/234\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.99webtools.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
