The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is unanimously adopted by 193 Member States at the United Nations General Assembly, commits all those countries to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 related targets, with Health featured prominently in the 2030 agenda. SDG 3 requires countries to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, but the goals and targets are an integrated, indivisible package, and many others have a strong connection to health and well-being. Data is the core requisite for any level of decision making. Achieving the SDGs requires concerted action from a wide range of stakeholders, led by national governments. To add, documentation and knowledge sharing plays a major role in rolling up the good efforts made by members states, thus being an example for other countries. WHO country office in Jordan supports the Ministry of Health leadership to efficiently lead the multiparters efforts in advancing SDGs through multisectoral collaboration which is a remarkable milestone in Jordan, resulted in enhanced SDG 3 governance and data generation, that is being adapted by other EMR countries.
