Best Practices (4)Champions at all stages of the process – design,
advocacy, implementation, management.Documentation of processes is critical for the process.Participatory and inclusive approaches such as linking
technocrats within the NSO with specialised subject areas in MDAs
Production of Annual Sectoral Statistical Abstracts has driven allocation of funds to statistics in the sectors.
Emphasis of the concept and function of a ‘SYSTEM’ with inter related parts, culture, norms, and values.
