Abstract
One of the remaining tasks in preparation of the Post—2015 Global Development Agenda is the selection and specification of indicators needed to measure goal achievement. This paper reviews progress made so far with the determination of indicators for one of the targets, 16.9: “By 2030 provide legal identity for all including birth registration”, of Sustainable Development Goal 16: “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. Among these institutions the rule of law figures prominently. For the first time in the history of the formulation of global development programs legal identity for all has been identified as a required target within this context. This paper critically reviews proposed indicators for this target, raises serious questions about the degree of preparedness and makes recommendations for the measurement of a legal identity for all as well as for an institutional rethink for delivery.
