| Summary: | This paper proposes an approach to guide
statistical capacity building in developing countries using
an analysis based on components of the World Bank’s
Statistical Performance Indicator on a sample of 215
countries. The approach demonstrates the importance of
expanding traditional capacity-building activities to
include programs to strengthen and better monitor user
demand for data. Based on this analysis, the paper
recommends a two-step strategy for building and enhancing
the sustainable statistical capacity of national statistical
systems in developing countries. The strategy creates a
sustainable trajectory for developing national statistical
systems that meet the growing demands of local and global
data users. The paper emphasizes the importance of donor
coordination and South-South learning initiatives for
international capacity-building efforts. |
