Statistical System Statistic is a mathematical science pertaining to the collection, analysis, interpretation, and representation of data Statistics play a vital role in development Good statistics are essential to manage the effective delivery of basic public services. Statistics are needed not only to help drive the outcomes that policies are aiming at, but also to measure progress towards those outcomes. 2/19/2019 4:55 PM

DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND STATISTICS: In Swaziland The Government of Swaziland developed two overarching Development Policies, namely: The National Development Strategy (NDS; 1999) and The Poverty Reduction Strategy and Action Programme – PRSAP (2006) The country has recently developed the Economic Recovery Strategy (ERS) The formulation of these Policies and many others, have been informed by the statistics 2/19/2019 4:55 PM

DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND STATISTICS: Swaziland, like other African Countries, has addressed the problem of under-achieving and under-funded statistical systems, through the NSDS These strategies aim to improve the evidence base to “manage for results” The key statistical needs are expressed in the NDS and the PRSAP which encompass the monitoring of MDGs Strategic Plan was developed to strengthened NSS thru identifying both current & future needs for data and generating more demand for statistics and attract more funding. 2/19/2019 4:55 PM

Required Measures to Reinforce the Link: Coordination and collaboration Legislative backing and an organisational framework is required to enable the CSO to effectively coordinate the NSS. Therefore the NSDS need to; Improve inter-institutional coordination arrangements between data producers and users to increase data relevance and usage. Improve technical coordination arrangements among data producers Encourage line ministries and all institutions to collect, use and publish routine administrative data. 2/19/2019 4:55 PM

Reinforce the Link: cont’d Improving the dissemination of statistics Much data is in unpublished form; this results many potential users denied information about available data series. More often than not, data is scattered in different forms in producer institutions, thereby making it difficult and inconvenient to access and use them There has to be central repository to act as a single access point to the official statistics ; this will improve access to data. 2/19/2019 4:55 PM

Reinforce the Link: cont’d Capacity Developing in the NSS for better development results L Data analysis of statistical data by the statisticians is inadequate. More detailed analysis is required to illuminate developmental issues, inform policy design and programme development Staff ability and skills need to be capacitated to include; Recruitment, promotion and motivation Expand the skills base and expertise of existing and new staff Develop Staff to Full Potential; 2/19/2019 4:55 PM
