state level - как-будто не вызывает вопросов, однако автор (японка) противопоставляет "central government" (level) и "state or municipal levels"

м.б. речь о штатах/землях?, хотя из числа рассматриваемых целевых стран ни в одной нет деления на штаты или земли

Since most indicators pertain to national energy policies and laws, the central governments of these target countries have been selected as one of the data sources. However, this is not to say that the perspective of the ***state or municipal levels is not taken into consideration. The idea is to use the central government as a single point of contact, which will in turn collect data from ***state and, when relevant, local level governments
