Addressing data gaps for MDGs: Improving the reporting mechanisms from the national to the international statistical system México Manila, Philippines October 1, 2007 Prepared by Antonio Millán A. Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática (This document is in progress, not intended for publication yet)
Techniques used to adjust data • Season factors (events outside the nature of the serie) Feasts (National parties) Different number of days among months School Vacations Weather Gaps in a serie • Adjustments
Women literacy rate of 15 to 24 years old Estimated value: (96.1 + 96.4) / 2 = 96.25 Real value: 96.20
Prevalence of • underweight children • under 5 years of age
Estimating VS colecting • Many cases the information was possible to colect • They had administrative registers • But, they did not know how because: • High turn over • Lack of documentation • There is No systematic process • Methodology was unknown • So, we decided to help them and made a process
How do we integrate MDG´s information Data is produced by INEGI? Yes Definition of data Integrate data No • Government Agencies (Ministeries) • SEP • SEDESOL • SENER • SCT • SSA • SEMARNAT • Etc. Create Database Identify who produces it (them) Negotiate and Train Update MDG´s Information System Colect data Citizens
Strategy • How to make them interested in getting the information • Mexico has a responsibility in the Millenium Declaration • You already have the information • You will not have to work more • I will train you in the methodology • You will have to pay nothing • You may take the credit • Ask for only one person responsible for each government agency
Create a Collaborative Environment • Create a Web environment to collaborate with the agencies. • Train them in the methodology for collecting valid and reliable data. • Educate them in developing skills to work within a Web environment. • Train NSO personel to get and integrate the data from the Web collaborative environment • Provide feedback to the agencies as soon as it is appropiate.
Why a Web Colaborative Environment • To make them confortable from his office • To make sure that any mistake can be traced • To allow them “freedom of delivering” • To promote effective organization between the NSO and the agencies.
Challenges • Willingness of top authorities in government • Culture of politicians that make decisions based on NOT solid information • Help to other NSO´s from the region • The given up of personal or party interests • Humbleness to learn from others
Sources • MDG´s Information system under INEGI responsibility with the following link: http://www.metasdelmilenio.inegi.gob.mx/artus/eis/portalmm/index.asp • Experience based on the researcher
