The challenges of data gaps
Significant data gaps exist in the African, Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asian, and Western Pacific regions for which just over 360 000 total COVID-19 deaths were reported in 2020. Only 16 of the 106 Member States in these regions have sufficient data to make empirical calculations.
Without timely, reliable and actionable data we cannot accurately measure progress towards the health-related SDGs or WHO’s Triple Billion targets. Moreover, we cannot accurately measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to better inform public policy and prepare for future health emergencies. According to WHO's World Health Statistics 2020 report, for almost one-fifth of countries over half of the SDG indicators lack recent, primary data. The availability of data also varies widely by income group and by indicator.
WHO is actively engaging with Member States to strengthen health information systems, particularly civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS), and improve data availability and quality. This includes targeted interventions to address the weakest areas identified by the SCORE (Survey, Count, Optimize, Review, Enable) global report, 2020, which showed for example that only 27% of countries have sustainable capacity to survey public health threats.
