Tóm tắt

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.
