Development in the 21st Century
Measuring Statistical Capacity
Where do we stand and where do we go from here?
2
What for?
• Track NSS progress
• Development partner/government request
• Establishing accurate reference
• Improve targeted support
• Assess the impact of capacity building
initiatives
3
Where do we stand?
• Several initiatives
4
What should we do next?
Define need to measure statistical capacity
Indicateelements and processes that should be an integral part of such measurement
Propose next steps for all partners on addressing statistical capacity measurement
5
What type of statistical capacity should be measured?
What would such a measurement be used for?
Specific technical programmes targeting gaps?
General advocacy for funding for statistics?
A shield against ever-increasing demands on NSSs?
Is there a need to track progress of countries in building their statistical
capacity or only to track the production and use of statistics?
Should the assessment of progress be at country, regional and global level?
Who is the targeted audience – international community, country decision-makers, donors?
Aim and Target Audience
6
What should be the areas of assessment in order to assess human
and technical capability relating to data production and use, in particular
the impact on decision-making processes?
Looking into inputs (survey and administrative data sources),
statistical products, adoption of international standards, system-wide
indicators vs. agency-related indicators, national priorities vs.
international commitments.
How can all data producing agencies, not just the NSO, within a country be
assessed?
Should we focus on NSDS implementation, if yes how?
Focal Areas
7
What should be the weight
given to qualitative
indicators in the
assessment?
How can it be done cost-
effectively?
How often should the
assessment be undertaken?
Should the measurement
be a self-assessment? An externally independent
one? One done by users
or other producers?
Other regional peers? A
hybrid system?
Should there be only one assessment
tool or a combination of
several ones coordinated
and potentially sequenced?
Process
8
What are the advantages and disadvantages of ranking countries?
Is such an assessment cross-country comparable?
Is a dashboard or composite index a useful
tool?
