This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Nigeria statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Nigerian statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Nigerian-specific metadata information.

Definition and concepts

This indicator focuses on the representativeness aspect of the target, but the presence of diversity also conduces to inclusivity and responsiveness of decision-making. The indicator is calculated as the number of public service positions held by members of the target group divided by the total number of such positions

Indicator 5.5.1(a) looks at the proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments while indicator 5.5.1(b) considers the proportion of women in local governments. The metadata developed for the latter only considers elected positions in legislative bodies of local government, thus focusing on the same positions that would be covered by indicator 16.7.1(a) at sub-national level. The Methodology Development Narrative Report for the present indicator recommends building on the methodology elaborated for indicator 5.5.1(b) for future reporting on indicator 16.7.1(a) at local level.
