  1. Third regional arab statistical forum – Yemen 2007 17 – 18 April 2007 National Strategy for the Development of Statistics – NSDS Mainstreaming sectoral statistics Samuel Blazyk PARIS21 Secretariat

  2. Sectors & NSDS The intersect task-team

  3. Need for an integrated system The results-based agenda requires data from many sectors. Sectoral information to support policy ministries Sectoral systems are not always well integrated within National Statistical Systems Need for better coordinated statistical systems

  4. Inter-relationsectors Educ Agri. Health Labour • Sectors cannot be considered independently, nor can statistics on the sectors • Sectors are inter-related and issues cross sectoral boundaries • Responses to HIV/AIDS involve education, health, etc • Food policy relies not only on crop production but also on transport, international trade, etc • Health information systems need health information from administrative records, specific health surveys, etc but also information from population censuses and household-based surveys such as DHS, MICS, Welfare Monitoring Surveys, etc • National statistical development must be holistic and comprehensive to deliver relevant statistical products to meet diverse demands such as sectoral data

  5. Obstacles to building an integrated system : Poor communication between the sectors and the NSO Lack of understanding by the NSO of special sectoral needs Cumbersome systems in the sectors that cannot be turned round Differences in resources available to the sectors and to the NSO Inadequate human resources and training in both the NSO and in the sectors Insufficient funds to revise existing systems

  6. SectorsWithin NSDS • The NSDS process embraces multiple sectors by : • Promoting greater coordination and cooperation in statistics • Bringing the supply of statistics more in line with demand • Broadening the coverage will result in a larger constituency of interest • NSDSsprovide the opportunity to develop an integrated approach to improving the coverage and quality of official statistics, based on agreed national priorities. • To be effective, however, these strategies must include: • an assessment of the capacity of sectoral ministries to compile and use statistics, • proposals to address weaknesses and constraints. • Statisticians from line ministries should be more directly involved in discussions on capacity building

  7. An integrated National statistical System One of the functions of a NSS is to provide coordinating mechanisms to ensure that data can be shared between sectors, An integrated NSS: • All statistical functions are coordinated across organizations and sectors. • Good communication between all users and producers of statistics • Quality information is produced efficiently and consistently whatever the sector.

  8. Sectoral strategies within the NSDS One approache in two steps: • Designing an overall strategy -- NSDS -- which includes sector statistics (as well as sub national statistics) and • Designing specific sector sub-strategy NSDS Educ. Lab. Health Agri. Others

  9. Benefits of building an integrated system : Less duplication of effort in data collection and analysis and therefore more efficient use of resources Cross-fertilization of methods between sectors More consistent and standardized data Higher quality data and more sophisticated analysis Greater availability of data and therefore wider use of data Edu Agri. Health Labour Strategic statistical plan

  10. The INTERSECT work • “InterSect” PARIS21 Task team was created to develop material to assist in the integration of sectoral statistics into National Strategies for the Development of Statistics. • The Task Team has a first draft of the Guide for “planning an integrated national statistical system” which is still under progress. Next steps : • Kampala meeting (March 2007) • Integrating others examples • Final guide (June 2007)

  11. Format of the guide: 4 sections Introduction to the Guide Framework for integrating sectoral statistics Guidance on NSDS design Integrating sectors into NSDS Design

  18. Share with us your experiences We need examples, tools, links and documents from the Arab Region demonstrating how integrated national strategies have been designed existing linkages among sectors What are the obstacles you have experienced in coordinating and interpreting such data? Do you have a success story to share? Are you developing a coordinated database? Are you designing surveys that address the needs of several sectors? If so, what has worked for you? What problems have you encountered? www.intersectweb.org
