1. The National Strategy for the
Development of Statistics (NSDS)
New benchmark in Statistical Planning
(Conceptualized in 2004)

What is NSDS?
• Framework to strengthen statistical capacity
across the entire National Statistical System
National

strategy and • A medium-term framework for responding to
action plan
key user needs
• A robust, comprehensive and coherent
A catalyst
framework to:
for change &
• address statistical challenges
building
• mobilize & prioritise the use of
confidence
resources
through
• integrate statistics within national
ownership
policy & planning processes
• introduce & manage change (no

Why mainstream sectors into the
NSDS?
•
a lot of development data are collected/compiled by
sectors (Agriculture, Health, Education, Labour, etc.)
(next slide)
•
sectoral issues and concerns not been given sufficient
attention in national statistics
•
statisticians from line ministries been largely isolated &
inadequately involved in discussion on capacity
building
•
sectoral component of NSS tends to be underresourced & is in need of more voice in sectors and in
NSS

SPS - Sector Plan for Statistics



started in Uganda in 2006
since become to be regarded as “best practice”
AfDB & PARIS21 Guide on mainstreaming sectors

Resulting NSDS will:

include a synthesis of Sector Statistics Plans
 buy-in by sectors
 ownership – one of prerequisites for effective
plan implementation
 Cross-cutting & emerging issues
“People support what they help to create”

promote policies that lead to greater harmonization
across sectors

lead to truly integrated National Statistical System
