What is the PDC exactly?
• The visible part is the PDC website, but that is not the
PDC.
• The PDC is both an online and offline data repository.
• PDC also conducts analysis on different sources and
supports internal and external data users on how to
use quantitative data.

• The PDC supports external research initiatives
(CSDS-FCM) but has also started to shift into research
production.

oxygen, capture
carbon and add to our
quality of life

challenge (e.g. literacy,

– 2007 scores are the first in new series
(2004 is not comparable)
– Curve will become available by Fall

– Spatial inequities are “distribution
curves” we want to correct.

Some Conclusions


Slide 23

About turning curves
• Turning the curve is typically longitudinal (over
time).
– This is a valid measure but…

• Also keep in mind:
– Spatial nature of indicators: zooming in adds new
layers
– Equity of indicators: while the overall indicator might
be showing progress, some groups may be falling
behind.


Slide 24

About population indicators
• You don’t have to measure them:
– Have No Fear: the PDC is here!

• They will help you
– Understand the context in which you operate
– Inform current and growing needs
– Detect priorities and vulnerable groups you may
serve
– Measure your own programs in contrast to the
overall picture
