National Coordination • Involvement NSO in national coordination of MDGs
National Coordination: Problems There is no focal point for reporting of MDG indicators at the national level. There is no focal point for the MDGs in the NSO. There is no trained personnel for database management (e.g. DevInfo). There are no specialists to collect the MDG indicators. Some MDGs are not part of official statistics or new to NSO. Data for some MDG-indicators are not available. There are no agreed standards and definitions.
Reporting MDGs to International Agencies Coordinating role NSO in reporting MDG-data to international agencies Active participation in the preparation of reports (UZ) Coordination and collection of MDG indicators and provides on request (AZ) Coordination and production and dissemination of MDGs that are part of official statistics (MD) Provide data if available (BH, HR, KZ, ME) Reason failing to reply to data request: Data unavailable (neither at Ministries) Data not available at NSO
Reporting MDGs, Current Problem: • Lack of reliable data sources • Limited attention for improving quality of source data • Not all data available at regional level • Availability of time-series limited • Metadata limited
Reporting MDGs, Measures Taken for improvement: • Addressing data shortage and reliability • Additional indicators • Improvement of the data flow • Creation of a database accessible via internet • Improvement of the legal basis • Strengthening of institutional capacities • Participation in expert meetings
Conclusions: • NSOs in most cases not main agency for coordination and quality control of MDGs, but: • NSOs in general involved in MDG-report • Other ministries/agencies are nearly always involved in data production • Data gaps exists and data quality sometimes an issue • NSOs do receive data requests but are often unable to reply • Duplicate requests from international organizations are limited
International organizations as source Production of National MDG-report (UNDP etc.) Surveys (co)organized by international organizations: DHS, MICS Data repository for international comparison Estimates made by international organizations: adjusted national data, combining data, intra/extrapolation and other methods
