Effective and routine data collection on key dementia indicators is crucial to support the formulation and implementation of policy, service planning and delivery and to track progress. Similarly, regular monitoring helps to identify trends in the prevalence of dementia risk factors, disease impact and mortality. The Global dementia action plan set the global target of 50% of countries routinely collecting a core set of dementia indicators every two years by 2025.
