nation ional al statistic tistics s and plan lanning ing agencies ies of 21 PICTS

National Statistical agencies

(technical support and training covering collections, analysis, dissemination and utilization of statistics)

National Planning agencies

(ensure data and information needs are articulated and addressed, data easily accessible and utilized)

=> To facilitate better dialogue, HOPS decided last week to amend 2nd PSSC structure (2013 – 2016), with planners becoming members of PSSC.

SLIDE 6

Our ideal constitu tituen ents ts –

nation ional al statistic tistical l system ems s of 21 PICTS

Statistics agencies and planning agencies …. PLUS
Statistics providers in key line ministries
Education
Health
Agriculture (natural resources)
Treasury/Ministry of Finance
Central Banks, National Provident Funds

Everyone collecting/producing/using official statistics in a country: National Statistical System

SLIDE 7

Our key challe leng nges es

Move beyond NSO to NSS emphasis

– with NSO playing the lead/coordinating role regards official statistics – collection and dissemination – with regular dialogue between producers an users ensuring that is collected is also used (and useful to users)

Assist countries in aligning political / policy mandates

with practical and sustainable statistical solutions

– Better chance for traction if based on sound evidence, with quality/timely statistics and indicators indispensable for monitoring policy performance and development progress.

This is what the NSDS process is all about.

2. Current

t St State of St Strate tegic gic St Statistica stical l Pl Planning ng in the Pacific ic Community ty

All countries have some sort of (annual) work program/

corporate plan

(despite this, many statistical activities in most countries are implemented in response to available funds/donor requests - not necessarily determined by national needs (content/timing) for such data/information)

Most PICs make reference to statistical developments

in their National Development Frameworks

(yet without commensurate strategic initiatives/budgets)

Up until only a few years ago (2010), no country had

a NSDS in place, and less than a handful of countries had a statistical master plan/Strategic Plan

Cat atal alys ysts ts for recent developments

2010 HOPS (adoption of TYPSS, establishment of PSSC),

with NSOs opening up to pursue a more Statistics-wide

approach

PIC development partners getting more strategic
questioning wisdom of continued ad hoc investments in statistics,

without overall strategic policy /planning framework – e.g. WB; multi- donor sector SWAps; encouraging;

Encouraging countries to include statistics as worthy development
bjective in its own right (e.g. AusAID Partnerships for development)
Solid collaboration / partnership between Paris21

and SPC-SDD

Regular dialogue (attend each others’ key meetings)
Joint missions – pooling of resources

Tailor approach to NSO set-up
Where NSOs have no strategic plan (Master Plan, Office Plan,

Corporate Plan) in place, SPC encourages development of

ne/assist where needed, to provide platform for effective

Paris21-SPC- country partnership (premise: cannot expect development of an NSS, if key component of it, does not know where NSO is heading)

Initial planning discussion in-country with key

players

Introduce NSDS approach, including design, implementation,

and the role of advocacy (purpose of today’s meeting)

Follow-up discussions with key agencies producing/ using

statistics

Seek endorsement to proceed, and agree on way forward
