  1. National Strategy for development of statistic : lever for the restoration of censuses in sub-Saharan Africa Presented by: Dorothée Ouissika Expert in Institutional organisation of national statistical Systems - AFRISTAT Kigali, Rwanda – January 15 -19 2007

  2. Plan of the presentation • I – Reports : • Alternatives • New approaches • Innovations • Improvement of planning operations • African contextualization • Answers of the NIS • Cost factors of census

  3. Plan of the presentation (continued) • II – Current context of the request for information • UNFPA current priorities • The follow-up and evaluation of the DSRP and OMD • III – Towards an optimized approach • Simplification of questionnaires • Use of new technologies • Development of administrative input and optimization in medium term • Set up a strategy of development of statistics

  4. Introduction • Importance of census data • Lack of fundings • Hesitation of international donors

  5. I – Reports • Alternatives

  6. I – Reports • African contextextualization Impossibility of new approaches

  7. I – Reports • Adaptation to the African context

  8. I – Reports

  9. II – current context in connection with requests for information UNFPA current priorities • 1970/1980, UNFPA was the leader of the technical and financial partners in the population and housing censuses and social surveys • Change of the priorities during years 1990 (health of the reproduction...) Lower funds intended for the financing of the operations of population and housing censuses The follow-up and evaluation of the DSRP and OMD • Significant Requests of the statistics through the DSRP and the OMD Precise indicators, localization of the "hearths" of poverty

  10. III – For an optimized approach Reports carried out • Difficulties of setting up the alternative approaches of the Population and Housing censuses (in the short run) • Timid use of the technical innovations • Insufficient planning of the operations • Difficulties of the NIS • Cost factors of the census • Progressive Disengagement of partners funding changes of the UNFPA priorities • High demand of statistical data (DSRP and OMD) and specific indicators OPTIMIZED Approach

  11. III – For an optimized approach Approach optimized bases on an optimal adequacy between the means and purposes Optimization of the costs Optimization of information Overall coherence by considering the specific context to each country • According to the following major elements : • Simplification of the questionnaires and optimization of information • Use of the new technologies • Development of the administrative input • Set up a strategy of development of the statistic

  12. III – For an optimized approach The simplification of questionnaires: optimization of information What do we wish to obtain? Which result do we want to obtain? With which ends? • Priority for the national needs • Importance of the regional and international comparability • Relevance of the subjects • Availability of resources Need for selection

  13. III – For an optimized approach The use of the new technologies • Improve the times duration of exploitation, analysis and diffusion • Improvement of the methodology of location of the dwellings and regular update of the localised data • Centring of the activities and the trades (cartographers, demographers, statisticians) with a share of the experiments The development of the administrative sources and optimization in the medium-term • Optimization of the PHC in the medium-term planning • Essential Condition for the appropriation of alternative approaches in the long run

  14. III – For an optimized approach Set up a strategy of development of the statistic State membres are engaged in institutional reforms and development of NSDS • NSDS main subject in the building statistical capacities • To connect the objectives of development of the statistic, step and means of reaching them by an action plan The NSDS is an opportunity for the census • A framework of assessment needs and priorities of statistics • A step for the strategic choice of the subjects • A framework of setting in adequacy of the priorities and resources • A framework of mobilization of the internal and external resources

  15. III – For an optimized approach Set up a strategy of development of the statistic The NSDS allows the insertion of the censuses in a national program of collection and contributes to its optimization Conclusion The GPHC with its complexity must be planned, in a rigorous and strategic way. Thus AFRISTAT decided to start a reflexion for an approach of optimization being integrated in the strategic planning of the national statistical systems by considering the reports presented and the African context.
