Building better dissemination systems for national development indicators. Phnom Penh, 21 – 25 April 2014 Prepared by SEBAHIRE Jean Nepomuscene National Institute of Statistcs of Rwanda
Availability of indicators to support the new framework for the Post-2015 development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Outline • Introduction • Challenges in our preparedness for Post 2015 SDG Indicators • Strategies to overcome these problems • Conclusion
Introduction The MDG have had a big influence on the way we understand, value and grapple with development indicators, from collection to dissemination as these were universal. But as we approach the 2015 deadline, we have to reflect on the usefulness and effectiveness of the existing MDG indicators towards SDGs. For the indicators that we have in MDG, it will be easy for us to say WE ARE SOMEHOW PREPARED for post 2015. But, what about indicators that we do not have or have a little in MDG?
So, the remaining source for our preparedness is from line ministries/institutions/Admin data ,but with some challenges.
Challenges in our preparedness for Post 2015 SDG Indicators • Disaggregation of available indicators at multiple levels. • Collecting data from many different sources • Lack of metadata from outside sources • Structure and/or policy on how indicators are reported
Challenges in our preparedness for Post 2015 SDG Indicators(continued..) • Lack of international standards • Lack of capacity of statisticians in line ministries • Availability on regular basis
As was MDG prepared and having some strengths, will these already collected indicators have these strengths?: • Focused on areas of global consensus ? • Outcomes oriented ?
Strategies to overcome these problems • Strengthening coordination of NSS • Making statisticians familiar with metadata where not available • Set up a team for validating those indicators along with their metadata- Quality validation team
Strategies to overcome these problems (continued…) • Disaggregate available indicators
Conclusion So, are we prepared or not? We can conclude that we are prepared or partly prepared for some SDG indicators -but with hard work, we have hope.
