Towards Sustainable Statistical Capacity Building : Uganda’s Experience By John B. Male-Mukasa Executive Director Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS)

Background UBOS was established by the UBOS Act No. 12 of June 1998 UBOS is responsible for developing, coordinating and maintaining the National Statistical System (NSS) Statistical capacity building is desirable for all stakeholders in the NSS to ensure production and use of good quality data to anchor policies and to monitor development at all levels UBOS is responsible for building the capacity of the stakeholders involved in the NSS

National Statistical System (NSS) Data Users Data Producers NSS Research and Training Institutions Data Suppliers

Statistical Capacity Building Elements Human Resource Development through training (hard skills) Equipping staff handling statistics (tools &infrastructure) Exposure of staff handling statistics through mentoring and attachment ( soft skills) Exposure of students majoring in statistics through internship

Capacity Building at National Level Targets-UBOS, Sector Ministries, Research Institutions, and Civil Society Organisations Capacity building efforts have been extended through; Training; Workshops Committees (Producer-Producer, Producer-User,etc..) Very often stakeholders request for technical support

National Level—Cont… UBOS collaborates with the Institute of Statistics and Applied Economics (ISAE) to train stakeholders at national level UBOS developed a Plan for National Statistical Development (PNSD) and one of its aims is to strengthen national capacity to produce, analyse and use reliable statistics Under the PNSD sector-wide monitorable indicators were developed to track progress of statistical production and strengthening of the NSS

Local Government Level UBOS established a Directorate for District Statistics and Capacity Building (DDS) The DDS is responsible for statistical capacity building at the local government level For effective intervention in the 93 Higher Local Governments (HLGs), the Directorate collaborates with 7 universities Makerere University Islamic University in Uganda, Mbale Mbarara University of Science and Technology Ndejje University Uganda Christian University, Mukono Kumi University And Gulu University

Local Government Level—Cont… Capacity building activities in the local governments include; Conducting capacity assessment studies Developing of training of modules Training of HLG staff using the developed training modules Facilitating semi-professional staff handling statistics to obtain qualifications (certificates and diplomas) Implementing the mentoring and attachment programme Equipping staff of local governments handling statistics Facilitating production of Annual District Statistical Abstracts Supporting dissemination of data in local governments Promoting use of uniform methodologies and standard definitions of statistical concepts Promote use of GIS systems in the local governments

Challenges In Capacity Building Limited resources Understaffing of offices responsible for statistics and for capacity building Limited funding making it difficult to sustain statistical activities Reliance on donor funding (in Uganda DFID, WB, and EU main donors for capacity building) Limited coordination of stakeholders in the NSS Staff Attrition - trained staff leaving for green pastures!! Lack of control/influence of staff of other agencies by the National Statistical Office

Conclusion Statistical capacity building is needed to: Enable all stakeholders involved in the NSS to acquire expertise to determine their data needs and priorities Enable staff handling statistics acquire knowledge to collect, interpret and disseminate information to support planning and monitoring of national development Coordinated statistical capacity building is an important precondition for the sustainability of development initiatives
