Title
possibly change SDGs to sector to policy markers
Standard
Activity
Schema Object
iati-activity/sector
Type of Change
change schema object location of SDGs from sector to policy marker
Issue
Since the SDGs are currently reported under the IATI sector codelists, you are obliged to include a percentage per SDG. However, determining how much an activity contributes to an SDG or how much of the budget is spent per SDG is very arbitrary. An activity can contribute 100% to several SDGs.
Proposal
One solution would be to include the SDGs as a vocabulary under the policy markers. Another solution would be to use non-statitical sectors as proposed in the previous topic (Non-statistical secondary sectors (excluded 2.03))

Since a large part of the SDG’s are GOALS with indicators and targets, shouldn’t the logical place to represent them be in the IATI result element? Otherwise we IATI will limit results reporting on SDG’s to measuring input only.
No arguments from me, but I suspect others will have strong opinions one way or the other - Sangita Dubey , Rory Scott for starters.
