Partner Implications from Seminar: New Approaches to Capacity Development Break-out Group: Role of Producers

Identified Challenges Need to organise and plan the work of the NSS Different language between user and producer Need to manage the demand and see which demand is priority Dissemination too slow How to maintain robust traditional sources while bringing new sources for faster release and analysis How to enter in agreement with producers of non-traditional data? Dynamic and flexible statistical legislation With which new sources should we start? Official/traditional producers risk to be left behind High staff turn over in NSS Limited resources of NSS

Proposed Strategies (short to medium and medium to long term) Define and prioritize the users (ST) Setting up advisory meetings with data users, as part of the NSDS (on going) Funding strategy (donors ST and government LT) Partner with new actors, users Media training User able to assess quality of data (data literacy) MoUs with private producers MoUs with academia Process for user feedback

Implementation methods Task Team: guidelines to regulate the relationship between new data sources producers and NSOs TT Compile best practices from countries, and share them, prior to the 2018 Board meeting Identify and analyse new data sources List of references, papers, on the use of new data sources Analyse costs aspects in the use of new data sources Advocacy for funding, legislation, use, etc. Leadership training to develop competences in a changing environment
