The World Bank and official statistics
• A major user• A compiler
– World Development Indicators– Global Development Finance– other databases
• A manager of global data programs– International Comparison Program (ICP)– Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys, etc.
• A funding agency of development programs to improve statistical capacity– Technical assistance (TA)– Investment operations– Partnership
3
World Bank’s role in statistical data standard setting and coordination • Standard setting
– Poverty data, external debt statistics, new emerging development indicators such as governance
– Cross-country data analysis (e.g. GNI/capita)– Data exchange & dissemination, working with IMF on GDDS,
with the UN MDG group on data publications, SDMX, etc. – Improving PPP data collected through the ICP– Household survey methods (LSMS, CWIQ) and data collection
tools• Coordination
– Extensive coordination on data compilation and dissemination (MDG work, many interagency coordination efforts, UN CCSA)
– A wide-ranging partnership on statistical capacity building work
4
Increasing demand for better data – a key driver for a larger role in statistics• Focus on results in countries
– Poverty reduction strategies– IDA 14 results measurement– Need for accountability
• Global monitoring– Millennium Development Goals– Debt monitoring– International comparisons
5
National data are needed to meet these demands

Stronger demand• PRSPs, MDGs, results-based management
Better output• National Strategies for Statistical Development
More resources• Grants, loan/credits, budget (PRSC/PRGF)

The need for change at national level
• In many developing countries …– Information that is needed is not readily
available– Data that are collected are not fully analyzed or
used– Data users have limited confidence in the
quality and integrity of official statistics– Resources are scarce and not used effectively
8
The need for change at international level
• International community needs to…– Join efforts to harmonize standards– Strengthen partnership to better coordinate
statistical advocacy and promotion– Mobilize additional funding to improve
statistical capacity
9
A partnership framework for improving development statistics • The Marrakech Action Plan for Statistics
(MAPS)– Agreed at the Second Roundtable for Managing for
Development Results, February 2004– Aims to improve the capacity to produce and use data for
development– Key objective is to meet the data challenge of MDGs by
2010– Builds on what has been achieved, has a timetable, and
estimated costs– Key event: Third Roundtable on results in Hanoi,
February 2007
10
The six actions of MAPS
• National level– Mainstream strategic planning– Prepare for 2010 census round– Increase financing for statistical capacity
improvement• International level
– Set up the International Household Survey Network
– Improve MDG monitoring– Improve international accountability
11
Tools for monitoring and assessing statistical capacity
• PARIS21 Light Reporting System• UN ECE/EUROSTAT monitoring projects for
Balkan and CIS countries• UN ESCAP Statistical Indicator for Asia and
the Pacific• World Bank
– Country statistical information database– World Bank statistical projects database– Statistical capacity score

Support for MAPS: national capacity
• Mainstreaming strategic planning– World Bank grant to PARIS21 for NSDS advocacy and
development and dissemination of guidelines– TFSCB and other grants to countries for NSDS preparation
• 2010 Population Census Preparation– World Bank grant for UNSD to support 2010 Census
preparations• Scaling up finance for countries to implement NSDSs
– Budgeted resources– Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB)– Lending programs (STATCAP)– Other grants (e.g. from other donors)
16
Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB)
• A multi-donor trust fund ($24m to date)• Complementary to PARIS21• Donors – UK, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland,
France, Canada (possible)• Funded 98 statistical development projects worth
US$20 million• 46 countries received support for preparation of a
NSDS• NSDS is key to scaling-up investment in national
statistical capacity
17
A special lending program (STATCAP)
• Makes it easier for countries to invest in upgrading statistical capacity
• Preparation of NSDS/SMP is the first step for project appraisal
• The first group of beneficiary countries: Burkina Faso, Ukraine, Kenya, Tajikistan
• Work underway for Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, India, Kyrgyz, Mongolia, Russia, Sri Lanka, Uganda
18
Support for MAPS: international partnership
• International Household Survey Network– Supported through PARIS21
• Improving key data– A new “Accelerated Data Program”,
supported through PARIS21– World Bank grants for UIS (education
statistics), UN-Habitat (urban indicators), ILO (gender statistics)
19
International Household Survey Network (IHSN)
• Objectives– Better access to and use of data by planners,
researchers – Coordination for better planning,
harmonization of concepts, methods• Progress
– All major survey sponsors are members– Central survey repository: improving access– Data dissemination toolkit: helping countries
document surveys– PARIS21: new “Satellite” program

Pilot Accelerated Data Program (12 countries over 3 years)1. Taking stock
– Inventory, documentation, dissemination of existing data (accessible, “ready for use”)
2. Using and assessing existing data– Analysis (key PRSP/other issues)– Quality assessment (reliability, relevance)
3. Collecting data– Design medium-term survey programs (NSDS)– Support data collection activities, building on
national survey programs (no imposed model)
