  3. 1. What Lessons from the MDG Process ? (3

  4. Achievements • Increased data use & enhancing status of data. • Great strides in fostering co-ordination (evidence: BAPS, PRESS, regional, within country-donor partnerships). • NSDSs design and implementation. • Dissemination of micro-data and co-ordination of surveys (ADP and IHSN achievements). 1 (4

  5. Misalignment: global monitoring needs and national systems (9 (5

  6. Some statistics left behind…and communication challenges (6 Source: Ghana Statistical Service, 2013

  7. Lessons learnt • MDG monitoring overall positive impact on national capacity… • More surveys, data and statistics available • Countries following up after donors left • Statistical capacity efforts – NSDS as strategic approach • …but created some new problems • National data often not used • Methodological issues – reconciliation, estimation • “Crowding out”? – donors (dis?)incentives 1 (7

  8. 2. What Priorities are emerging for Post-2015? (8

  9. New goals aren’t being negotiated yet (9

  10. NSSs will be in the spotlight: a call to actions from the highest level • WANTED: a Data Revolution • “A true data revolution would draw on existing and new sources of data to fully integrate statistics into decision making, promote open access to, and use of, data and ensure increased support for statistical systems.” (10

  11. Sound familiar? Call for data revolution comes from Busan Action Plan on Statistics, that seeks to : • Fully integrate statistics in decision making • Promote open access to and use of data • Increase resources for statistical systems 1 (11

  12. Some priorities are emerging, with important consequences for NSSs For example: • More use of national data for new goals: • Jobs • Education (potentially on quality) • Disaggregation of existing data to measure: • Getting to zero poverty • Impact on women and girls • Impact on inequality • New indicators for new areas: • Sustainable development • Governance • 69th UNGA (12

  13. 3. Friend or FoEof NSS? (13

  14. Strengthening national capacity is a key element of any data revolution • National ownership, benefit the people, build on what we have • Reduces the risk of “crowding out / in” ; unsustainable financing • Better data, better policies? • Innovations not only in data but also in capacity building e.g. skill development (14

  15. New demands for NSS • New data needs, e.g. as outlined above • New institutional arrangements/ opening up • Use of new technology (15

  16. From dialogue to partnerships? Private official Public non-official User Producer (16

  17. Friend or Foe? We don’t know, yet • YOU need to get engaged on various levels – national, regional and international! • For NSSs, key debates are: • Short-term need for baseline vs. long-term need for measurement capacity • Data for national/sub-national decision marking and targeting vs. international comparison (18

  18. Conclusion: Historic window of opportunity to garner support for NSS • Political will to support statistics at an historic high • Public/ popular support also growing fast with new actors keen to support good data - Foundations, CSOs, private companies • Statistics needed to manage emerging challenges like financial stability and climate change • New tools/approaches create new opportunities (19
