Lessons learned Crucial to coordinate around NSDSs & others.. Political economy analysis is important.. Country ownership & alignment needed to build sustainability.. More needed to strengthen relationships with users to promote data use and build trust.. Presence of an in-country stats adviser critical.. More to do on dissemination…. Complementary Bilateral and centrally managed progs strengthens successes. Need to be flexible and consider non-stats support (procurement, planning, M&E)..
Ongoing challenges & areas of thinking Greater coherence and sharing of lessons Striking the balance between innovation and “traditional” stats capacity building.. Right entry point for technology Creating demand Engaging users Investment in disaggregated data Measuring/identifying impact
