CFAN 3“Mid-Term Review and the Way Forward” Technical Meeting Information Management
Current Issues - Recommendations • RAN Database • Compliance issues - still 40% not updating projects - look at mechanisms to increase compliance e.g. Quarterly reporting rather than monthly • How to make the RAND reporting tool more user friendly? - Take up issue with Synergy • How to capitalize on and consolidate Monitoring efforts e.g. Point of Knowledge - Central Repository (Portalized) at BRR • Data standardization & categorization- ? • Village-level surveys - how to consolidate and socialize village-level data collection activities? - Central Repository (Portalized) at BRR
Economic Development • Concerns: • Different and separate databases in different government agencies - obstacle to doing proper Economic Development planning. • Recommendations • World Bank producing quarterly Economic Outlook report but more needs to be done below the top level.
Infrastructure • Concerns: • Need for a consolidated Infrastructure plan, with time frame of major projects • Need for spatial database or a consolidation of maps and spatial plans for public access • Recommendations
Housing & Settlements • Concerns: • Integration of post-conflict & post-disaster data; do the local authorities e.g. BPDE have the necessary capacity or resources to consolidate? • Identification of Beneficiaries • Recommendations: • Empower local government to bring together data on Housing & Settlements across the province • Standardize beneficiary identification under a Government initiative
Issues & Recommendation • IM - all sectors (Housing/Infrastructure/Livelihood) • improve data acquisition process (up-to-date data) • quality of data (accuracy, completeness) • from data collection/acquisition to analysis for decision making • IM – thematic issues • Knowledge/mindset (e.g., gender mainstreaming issues, environment) • standard (e.g., building code for earthquake resistance design) • M&E – DRR indicators (e.g., how many houses comply to building code)
Information: everybody’s concerns! Managing data vs managing process • are we on the right track? • how much funds already committed, disbursed? unallocated budget? • what are the obstacles, issues? • what everybody needs to respond to improve performance? • any guidelines, standards, procedures, policies? • lessons learned? • feedback from community/ beneficiaries/ actors?
Data – Information – Knowledge: Challenge in acquisition, analysis and dissemination • Knowledge • study • research • guideline • policy public Portal/ Repository: Database Knowledgebase Policy Maker • Data/Info • process/activity/ • output//KPI • outcome • budget Donor/ Implementing Agency
Where the data coming from Needs for Information Sharing: • Many players including BRR already have conducted some research studies, surveys, assessments • We need support from all stakeholders for collective efforts to develop a comprehensive database repository, i.e. • Data (RAN database) – improve compliance • research • survey analysis
Exit Strategy: Who own the data Data Custodianship - Focal Point • Bappeda: future planning/programming and budgeting purposes • BPDE: information system development • Unsyiah: knowledge repository – center of excellence
