  7. Compilation of MDG Indicators • MDG are compiled with user friendly Excel templates provided by Statistics Norway and African Development Bank (ADB). • The template contains information produced and published by the NSO but will be updated to include MDA related MDG indicators. • Technical directorates of UBOS and other key line ministries compute MDG indicators • The Directorate of Statistical Coordination Services of UBOS has been assigned to coordinate the compilation of MDG indicators from various sources.

  8. MDG Reporting • MDG reporting is spearheaded by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). • UBOS and MDAs provide required indicators. • The report production process involves consultation with key Government line Ministries, Departments and Agencies, United Nations agencies and a range of stakeholders among who are national and international development partners, Civil Society Organizations and researchers. • The 2010 MDG Country report is the third in a series, the first having been prepared in 2005 and the second in 2007.

  10. Datasets within various MDAs are still scattered. Data flows and existing systems do not favour data exchange between agencies and UBOS, and between agencies. Difficulty in standardising administrative data production formats. Lack of a NSS human resource development strategy. Inconsistencies and discrepancies that limit data sharing within and between sectors. Duplication of efforts and irregular assessment of user needs.
