A1 Overall objectives
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
7
To ensure that support to statistical development follows Paris Declaration principles and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) among which Ownership: support within (and only within) NSDS Alignment: using local systems and avoiding project unit
especially for surveys Harmonization: to avoid duplication especially in supporting
similar surveys Results: agreeing on results measurement within NSDS M&E Predictability: donors will provide 3-5 year forward
information on their planned aid especially for the multi year National Survey Program
Conditionality – donors will switch from reliance on prescriptive conditions about how and when aid money is spent to conditions based on the developing country’s own development objectives.
A2 Objectives (from PRESS)
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
8
To learn what development partners are doing in statistical fields
To identify areas of statistics in need of more support (within NSS)
To raise the profile of statistics within the overall context of aid to the country
Design the most appropriate financing mechanism for the country, and increase the efficiency of support
• Opportunity to establish (or strengthen) a coordinating sub group if it does not exist
B Institutional framework
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
9
Coordination of partners is the responsibility of the country
In some countries (especially fragile countries) donors have coordination mechanisms per se
Reporting should be the responsibility of the country (the coordinating body of the national statistical system)
In some cases or for the first report, partners could take the leading role

Current statistical support (technical and financial)
Planned statistical support (technical and financial)
Statistical areas being supported Period covered for each activity Amount of money committed and
disbursed Mechanisms used
D Methodology
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
12
Following existing partners reporting frame in the country (if any)
Following PRESS methodology and nomenclatures related to statistical fields, which will allow aggregation
More detailed information adapted to country context, especially about NSS unit receiving the support
E Activities
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
13
Preparation - two possibilities: The partners trough the coordinating body The national council of statistics (through the
executive secretariat or other unit) Activities:
Identification of donors Identification of NSS units Questionnaire (adapting PRESS questionnaire) Data collection, and processing Report and recommendations
Establishing a permanent mechanism to produce the C-PRESS
F Dissemination

Presentation to the National Council of Statistics
Publish in the CSO web site, Communicated to the PRESS team
(PARIS21)
G Constraints
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
15
C-PRESS will face constraints identified in the PRESS process: Variety of type of financing with different time
frames and nomenclatures, difficulty to identify statistical components in wider project.
Size and number of actors of the national statistical system;
In addition: Reporting on activities from partners not
present in the country.
H Global uses of C-PRESS
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
16
Some pilot country comparisons show that PRESS underestimates the actual support.
In the future, with more and more country reports, aggregation will allow a more precise information on the global support to statistics development.
In the meantime, country reports will allow to measure PRESS coverage on the real support.
Recommendations
June 4, 2010PARIS21 Seminar - OECD Conference Center
17
Countries: to develop their reporting system on statistical development within NSDS, to launch reviews on public expenditures on statistics including C-PRESS, to review and update international sites on reporting, and to disseminate the reports on their web sites.
Donors: to inform their country representatives to participate and support country efforts to prepare C-PRESS, and to provide relevant and disaggregated information on support to statistics.
PARIS21: to finalize and disseminate the Guide on reporting, and to prepare a Guide on C-PRESS including nomenclatures, and to report annually on C-PRESS
