Criteria


The “G IS IN” framework will facilitate
selection of indicators through discussion
Reflect qualities of statistics




Relevance - the degree to which the statistical
product meets user needs in coverage, content
and detail;
Accuracy/ Integrity - the degree to which the
information correctly describes the phenomena it
was designed to measure;
Timeliness - the degree to which data produced
are up to date, published frequently and
delivered according to schedule;
Accessibility - the ease with which users are able
to access and understand the statistical data and
its supporting information;


Coherence/consistency - the degree to which
statistical information can be successfully
brought together with other statistical
information within a broad analytical framework
and over time.
Interpretability - the availability of the
supplementary information and metadata
necessary to interpret and utilize it effectively.

Efficiency - minimization of costs and respondent
burden; and

Based on international principles, standards and
classifications.

Classify and organize indicators in 4 tiers to answer
questions:

Do indicators measure their respective areas?

Is there any research linking the target areas and listed
indicators?

Is there are any other indicators identified in the
research to fit in the table below?

Which indicators are available/regularly collected?

How can these indicators be used?
TIER 1



Statistics is based on an internationally
recognized, high level set of principles,
standards and classifications.
The data is easily and regularly collected.
(If an indicator reflects the above characteristics
but the data is not collected in some countries,
the indicator is still referred to as tier 1.)
TIER 2



Data may be available by relevant sources, but
indicators are not regularly produced by National
Statistical Offices (NSO).
NSO equipped with appropriate tools and
procedure can possibly start the process of
regular tier 2 data collection and dissemination.
However, the national tier 2 statistical frames,
definitions and classifications are not aligned
with national and international frameworks
TIER 3



Data is not available in official statistics, but
mentioned in the research studies as highly
useful.
The data is not widely used at international
level. The indicators are highly desirables as
proved very relevant.
However, it is difficult to set up a process to
start regular data collection and dissemination.
TIER 4


Includes qualitative targets and issues
which are not possible or very difficult to
quantify and put in the data framework.
However tier 4 data might be useful for
research and additional qualitative
aspects.
