Quality of data
Efficient use of resources
Consistency over time and space
Accessibility and affordability
Validityand reliability
Comparability through
standards
Relevance to policy
Potential for disaggregation
Currency and punctuality
Coherence across sources
Clarity and transparency
www.uis.unesco.org
2. Capacity building
There are many problems:
Lack of understanding of importance of S&T (indicators)
Lack of political will and action
Lack of coordination
Lack of trained personnel
High staff turnover
www.uis.unesco.org
Capacity building (2)
Measurement problems:
Measuring “real effort” (full-time equivalents)
Private sector R&D
Budget data vs. surveys
Role of foreign entities
www.uis.unesco.org
S&T statistics workshops
Increase the number of countries regularly producing quality S&T indicators.
Create local capacities and establish sustainable local S&T statistics systems.
Promote the use of S&T indicators for evidence-based S&T policy making.
Share experiences with other developing countries and address problems.
Gain knowledge about the particular characteristics of S&T statistics data.
Demonstrate good practices in other countries of the region.
www.uis.unesco.org
UIS S&T Statistics workshops
2005: Uganda, India
2006: Indonesia, Senegal, Kazakhstan
2007: Tunisia, FYR of Macedonia, Jordan, Brazil, Russia, Cameroon
2008: Oman, Cambodia, Botswana
2009: Kenya, Egypt
2010: Mali, Syria, Uzbekistan, Nepal
But also contributing to similar workshops of partner organisations (e.g. RICYT, NEPAD)

Countries that have participated in UNESCO S&T statistics workshops 2005-2009
Countries and territories covered but absent
Countries and territories not yet covered
Countries and territories not targeted

www.uis.unesco.org
Results of workshops
Increased response rate – non-responding countries learn how to do it from UIS and neighbours.
Immediate problems solved.
Increased data quality – improved understanding of application of international standards.
Face to face contacts = more effective networking.
Inputs to UIS programme development.

3. Standard setting/methodological developments
Careers of Doctoral Holders – CDH (since 2004)
Measuring Innovation in Developing countries: Annex to the Oslo Manual (2005)
• Will be presented separately
Measuring R&D in Developing Countries: Technical Guide and Annex to the Frascati Manual (2010)
• Will be presented separately
www.uis.unesco.org
The careers of doctorate holders survey (CDH)
A joint project with the OECD and Eurostat.
Methodology developed “from scratch”.
Aimed both at developed and developing countries.
With participation from experts from both developed and developing countries.
Promoting the methodology by encouraging developing countries to conduct such surveys and produce cross-nationally comparable statistics on careers of doctorate holders.
www.uis.unesco.org
Relevance of the CDH project
Focus on the crucial role of highly qualified individuals who represent a key to the production, application and transmission of knowledge.
Statistics on the global trends in human resources for Science and Technology (HRST) very weak.
Quality and comparability of international data on migration is particularly weak.
Diversity of data collection methods hinders international comparability, and does not provide information on career paths and mobility patterns.
www.uis.unesco.org
Objectives of CDH
Objectives:
To design an internationally comparable tool for tracking the careers of doctorates holders and highly qualified people in different countries.
To collect and exchange information on the career paths of holders of doctorates from existing data sources and the new survey tool.
www.uis.unesco.org
CDH toolkit
Components:
Model questionnaire and Instruction Manual
Output tables and variables definitions
Methodological guidelines
Bridge table model questionnaire - output tables

Way forward
There is still a lot to do!
UIS needs to keep direct contact with statisticians: Quality and relevance.
Countries to establish sustainable S&T statistics systems, involving line ministries (S&T Ministries or Research Councils) and National Statistical Offices.
Looking forward to further cooperation.
