  1. Partner Report on Support to Statistics (PRESS) Results from the 2012 Round Focus on Asia-Pacific Findings

  2. PRESS AIMS TO… • Learn what development partners are doing in the statistical field and identify countries or areas of statistics in need of more support. • Offer this information to financial and technical partners responsible for giving aid and to countries receiving it. • Raise the profile of statistics within the overall context of aid to developing countries.

  3. PRESS OFFERS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION… • Current and planned statistical support from partners. • Statistical areas being supported. • The period covered by each activity. • The amount of money committed and disbursed. However, this is not an accounting exercise, but rather a tool for collaboration!

PRESS 2012 – Key Findings, by Provider of Development Co-operation – Aid Alignment with NSDS NB: To understand these figures, one must recognise that 87% of PRESS countries in Africa are either implementing or designing an NSDS, 76% in Asia-Pacific, 75% in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 83% in Europe.

  12. PRESS 2011 – Support to CRVS in Asia-Pacific –

  13. Conclusions • Support to statistical development is increasing globally, although Asia-Pacific’s share is decreasing. • Support is still concentrated in a very small number of aid darlings. • A small number of donors dominate the scene in terms of commitments. • There is room for improvement in aligning support with national strategies. • Improvements in reporting to PRESS are possible. UNFPA is a good example to follow.
