The Busan Action Plan for Statistics: An Update on the Implementation Shaida Badiee, Director, Development Economics Data Group, World Bank Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities Frankfurt, September 17 – 19, 2012
Focus is now on implementation • BAPS endorsed at the Busan HLF4 (December, 2011) and the UNSC (March, 2012) • BAPS has five actions to support three objectives: • Integrate Statistics into decision-making • Promote open access • Increase resource base • Each action encompasses a range of possible activities at the national, regional, & global level. • Implementation activities could be “vertical” or “horizontal”
BAPS Implementation principles • Requires collective effort & political leadership • Should be country led • Uses existing partnerships & agencies • Results will be monitored • Implementation roadmap is flexible and responsive, based on broad consultation
Priorities from consultations • Sample of developing countries: align activities through the NSDS, need stable funding, improve data accessibility, training, & communication with users • UNSC: improve accessibility of statistics, gender statistics, agricultural statistics, and consider special needs of fragile and small states • Regional Entities: advocate use of stats in decision-making, consolidate training activities, improve NSDSs • Users: Focus on results, improve M&E systems, more accessible and better sub-national and micro data.
Implementation steps underway • Task team on BAPS implementation • Re-focusing of NSDSs • Supporting countries with open data initiatives • Gender Statistics (“EDGE”) • Agriculture Statistics (Implementing the Global Strategy) • Geospatial information management • Innovative programs to gather high frequency data on household welfare • ECASTAT – a new partnership for regional statistical capacity building in Europe and CIS countries • Many IFIs re-focusing their WP and strategic approaches
Governance • PARIS21 governance arrangements revised • PARIS21 to act as BAPS secretariat • Task Team to help in the short term • PARIS21 EC and Board to review shifts in BAPS priorities and assess implementation progress • Report progress as well as receive support from post-Busan Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (WP/EFF) and the UNSC
Financing requirements and instruments • Key initiatives have sound financing (Agriculture and Gender) • Other initiatives not expensive (NSDS updating, Open Data initiatives in countries, pilot high-frequency stats, PARIS21 strengthening) • RDBs to rely on current financing instruments • World Bank is re-purposing TFs
Monitoring • Monitoring aided by BAPS log frame and indicators for specific implementation initiatives • Monitoring of the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation • It has been suggested to include an indicator on statistics (such as the SCI) • Work still in progress, but not likely that statistics will be a stand alone progress indicator
