HIERARCHY OF INDICATORS
Implications for Statistics
statistics needed: to maintain and monitor development progress to focus attention and engage civil society for accountability, transparency, service delivery, resource
management
enhanced political dimension: higher profile and expectation for statistics
resources for statistics can be part of wider programmes
demands closer links to policy and policy makers
The information system
National Statistics InstituteStatistics units in Sector ministriesAdministrative informationAd hoc user surveysResearch and analysis centresCentres for qualitative exercises
Sequenced Information Strategy
Well planned and targeted approach to statistical capacity building
Takes overview of information needs and supplyStarts from users - prioritised, firm political
backingAddresses the full information cycle, from
identifying needs through to final data useordered development of data collection, sources,
uses
Sequenced
Prioritised What do stakeholders need? Led by country
policy makersResourced
What can be resourced and when?Timetabled
When do they need it? When can it be produced? Incremental development
InformationStatistics are the ‘eyes and ears’ of Government and
civil societyNeeded for policy, planning, management, monitoring,
transparency, accountabilityNeed to be:
Relevant and timely Accessible Analysed and used
It needs to be actively disseminated - variety of outputs produced appropriate to audience
Strategy
holistic approach to meeting information needs
linked to wider national development strategies and policies
needs to be realistic, sustainable, address constraints clear processes for involving stakeholders costed/resourcedbuild capacity to analyse and use statistics as well as
to supply them
Development of Sequenced Information Strategy
Assess Information Needs
(policy, management, monitoring, accountability)
Gaps
Prioritisation
Timetabling of Demand/Supply
Strategic Statistical Development Plan
Defines Outputs, Activities, Inputs
Strategies for delivery
– human resources, information systems
– analysis, dissemination and use by Government and civil society
– organisation, institutional development
Work plan and resource needs
– costed, prioritised, timetabled
National resources International resources
SIS: Some Critical Success Factors
Commitment and leadership at very senior levelOverview of key information needs, timetable and
costsPriority setting and steering processes for SIS
(need for a high level committee)Addresses immediate needs for information and
analysis, eg in PRSPs (data mining, analysis)
More Critical Success Factors
Lay foundations for sustainable long-term capacity development, building on existing systems and processes
Takes account of existing capacities, resource constraints and other needs: eg professional standards, need for legislation
National and international resources co-ordinated and used effectively
