  4. Communication between Board Members and their Communities

  5. Communication between Board & Communities “Board members and alternates [are] … expected to be ‘champions’ of the aims of PARIS21 and advocate for and publicise PARIS21 activities within their constituencies. They will consult and report back to their constituencies about Board discussions and the work of the Partnership more broadly.” -- PARIS21 governance arrangements NB: The Secretariat proposes to speak of “communities” rather than “constituencies” since Board members are not expected to speak on behalf of a group of countries or institutions, but rather are identified as members for their personal experience.

  6. Definition of “Communities” • For Developing Country Members … • PRSP co-ordinators • Planning / Finance ministers • National (country–donor) partnerships • … and, of course, NSOs & NSSs • For Donor Institution Members … • Operations Department • Chief Economist • Country Delegations / Missions

  7. Proposed Communication • Board Members are encouraged to … • consult with and report back to your user–producer communities in-country or within your institutions about Board discussions. • consult with and report back to your international colleagues/counterparts in (sub)regional bodies/meetings. • comment on draft papers and reports and participate in subgroups such as the Executive Committee and task teams on particular issues. • use your influence to advocate for the allocation of adequate resources both for the better availability and use of statistics in development generally and for PARIS21 activities in particular. • participate in certain PARIS21 initiatives such as reporting on NSDS progress and implementation of the Dakar Declaration on the Development of Statistics.

  8. Proposed Role of Secretariat • The PARIS21 Secretariat proposes to facilitate this by… • Maintaining an updated list of names / e-mail addresses of heads of statistical offices in countries and contacts in bilateral, regional, and international institutions supporting statistics. • Preparing and sharing minutes from Board and Executive Committee meetings. • Preparing “executive summaries” of Board and Executive Committee meetings which Board members can communicate to their respective communities. • Preparing draft presentations for regional/international meetings. • Administering surveys to Board members to solicit information to report on NSDS progress and monitor implementation of the DDDS • Providing any additional information on PARIS21 issues, as necessary.

  9. Communication between the Executive Committee and the Board

  10. Proposed Modalities • The governance arrangements call on the Executive Committee to “communicate reports and decisions to the Board.” This reporting could take several forms: • Sharing Executive Committee agendas with Board members for comment prior to the meetings; • Circulating the minutes from Executive Committee meetings to Board members; and/or • Making brief statements at Board meetings summarising all items discussed and decisions made by the Executive Committee since the previous Board meeting.
