There are many options for reporting on the SDGs to meet the needs of countries. Countries typically adopt one of three models to reporting on the SDGs:

1. Incorporating SDG reporting within an existing national website or platform.
2. Developing an entirely new platform dedicated to providing data on the SDGs.
3. Providing their data to a regionally-maintained platform. 

Several are repurposing and adapting platforms that were utilized to report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
