Experiences & challenges in producing disaggregated data in Swaziland September 2017 Presented by : Nolwazi Dlamini

NATIONAL DATA SOURCES CENSUSES SURVEYS LINE MINISTRIES & AGENCIES ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCE NEW PARTNERSHIPS Population and Housing Census Economic Census Agriculture Census Income & expenditure survey MICS Labour force Survey Intercensal Survey Agriculture Survey CRVS Report MOH MOE SHIMS

EXPERIENCES WITH PRODUCING DISAGGREGATED DATA by SDG INDICATORs Age ranges by which data is disaggregated are 5 year age groups and 10 year age groups All household surveys and censuses further disaggregate by sex Disaggregation by disability status is a new concept that was introduced in the 2017 Population & Housing Census Disaggregation by race/ ethnicity is not applicable to our country, although we do collect information on citizenship

CHALLENGES WITH PRODUCING DISAGGREGATED DATA AT ALL LEVELS Legal framework for official statistics: The Statistics law is being reviewed and updated No coordination body; The current situation of statistical production produced by line ministries and agencies is decentralized Different conceptual framework on classification and methodologies recommended by international organizations Challenges in terms of how to utilize the new and emerging data sources Insufficient funding, coordination, integration (surveys) to achieve the required disaggregation Inadequate staff and statistical expertise to meet increased demand for disaggregated data

SUPPORT REQUIRED INORDER TO UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL FOR DISSAGGREGATION OF KEY INDICATORS for vulnerable groups Training/capacity building on integrating data disaggregation in existing tools and processes for producing and disseminating data in line with Agenda 2030 Capacity building on Designing of more appropriate or effective methodologies for data disaggregation Financial resources and capacity building for adopting new data sources and innovative data integration techniques and data compilation procedures Strengthening of Coordination and collaboration not only within NSS and stakeholders at country level, but also regional and international level Development of special area survey instruments and their implementation e.g module for disability survey and informal sector survey Development of a conceptual framework and methodology for identifying how data should be disaggregated for a specific service or policy.
