• This is conceptual article with objective to explore and identify main challenges in implementing adequate monitoring system for global indicators, widely used in Southeast European (SEE) 2030 Strategy. SEE 2030 Strategy is a regionally all-inclusive attempt of thirteen economies of SEE. Their first-sighted heterogeneity deemed to be an obstacle for a joint action. However, the UN SDGs and Agenda 2030 provide a credible platform upon which SEE 2030 was built. SEE2030 through its bottom-up approach and open-to-all consultation with all relevant stakeholders created a homogenous set of policy nexus linking all thirteen economies together and mobilize their political level commitment to work together based UN SDGs oriented targets. SEE 2030’s flexibility and national level challenges responsiveness offers an opportunity but also challenge for monitoring. Monitoring is a key element for the success of implementation of strategic goals since SEE 2030 flexibility and responsiveness cannot be sustained if monitoring does not function properly. Significant challenges in achieving the stated objective are: data availability, standardization and appropriateness. Another significant factor of success in SEE 2030’s implementation would be balancing the complementarities of both quantitative and qualitative inputs. The design of the paper to present in the beginning how selection of the indicators shapes strategies and activities for their implementation, then to offer a methodology and steps designed for data collection, exploration and presentation based on our experiences with the SEE 2030 Strategy. Then, the challenges in visualizations used for presentation of the monitoring results are critically reviewed and discussed, and guidelines based on theoretical principles and hands-on experience are offered. Finally, conclusions provide a platform for further exploration and debate.
