Kelurahan as Data Source for Sustainable Development Goals

One of problems in SDGs implementation is about data. It is often found that the data are not valid or need to be updated regularly. The data play a decisive role in policy including the ones related to SDGs. In Indonesia, in terms of data rely on Indonesia Statistic Board. However, another source of data for comparison or any other purposes is also needed. Considering that the closest government level with people is Kelurahan (urban village). Hence, it assumed that kelurahan can be the agent of data source for SDGs. Therefore, this paper aims to check which data that available at kelurahan. This paper only checked data availability at kelurahan using indicators of SDGs goal no 1 that is no poverty. In total there were 14 types of data that were checked in this research. The research was conducted in 33 out of 69 kelurahan of Bengkulu City-Indonesia by using questionnaire that were filled out by the head or secretary of kelurahan. However, due of technical reason, the research samples were collected only from 30 kelurahan. This research involved 44 university students as the research enumerators. The results of the research are first, the data of poor people data were the most complete one data that kelurahan had; second, the health and disaster mitigation data were the ones data that kelurahan did not have. In conclusion, kelurahan is not ready yet as main source of SDGs data. However, data at kelurahan level could still be used as a comparison data.
