Data and mapping follow-up
International workshops
• All project countries are invited to the 4th
workshop
• This will take place in Phnom Penh, 21 – 25 Apr
• Aim is to resolve data & mapping issues and
assist in the general use of technology
• Further activities at the international level are
being planned…
Metadata & discrepancy follow-up
Metadata follow-up
• Establish full metadata exchange with all
countries (either through SDMX/ handbook).
- Once a first draft of the metadata handbook /
document is complete, …
- Continue to conduct follow-up events on
metadata in project countries with participants
from across National Statistical System (NSS)
- Continuous process, shouldn’t stop with
publication of a handbook
feedback loop
National Statistical Office
Publish & register new
data and metadata
NSO to review and
feedback in new
data and metadata

Step 1: Review
of country data
and metadata
Review match
with intl. series
Step 4: Prepare report
on explanations for
country/ intl. agency
Step 2: Classify
series as
“exact”,
“consistent” or
“discrepant”
Step 3: Review
metadata of
“consistent” and
“discrepant”
series for
explanations
Indicator expansion
• Expand the number of indicators (including nonMDGs), time series and observations exchanged
with existing countries.
• This takes significant time (update DSD) will work
closely with interested countries (i.e. Palestine,
Thailand and Viet Nam)
Complete software development &
upgrade
Software
• 1 remaining local country installations need to be
upgraded to version 7
• An installer package is final piece of development
under the software and will be used whenever a
country wishes to update their software
Advocacy & awareness raising
Raising awareness
• Planning of further launch events in country
(where appropriate)
• Project will continue to assist NSO to make
project outputs relevant and useful to key users
(i.e. Ministry of Planning/ Finance) and promote
this approach.
Installments from the MoU
MoU Installments
• New UN accounting rules require more frequent
expenditure reporting
• There is an expectation from UN/DESA finance
certain documentation are provided;
- Signed set of accounts for current expenditure AND
forecast expenditure
- These should mirror budget lines agreed in MoU
and reported in local currency AND USD.
- MoU provided estimates, so expenditure should be
‘in-line’ but not exact to those estimates
- Important to notify of any change to bank account
Evaluation
Evaluation
•
Independent contractor chosen by UNSD and DFID
• 4 countries chosen for visit to conduct specific
case study
• Start Summer to Autumn 2014
• Used to guide a future project
