Emerging Trends in Data Dissemination – A Trinidad & Tobago Perspective By Mohanee Sinanan-Mitchell

CSO’s Mission The mission of the Central Statistical Office is to facilitate informed decision-making, through the timely provision of a high- quality, relevant, user-oriented and dynamic statistical service, coordinating statistical activities and promoting the adherence to statistical standards.

CSO’s Vision The Central Statistical Office is the premier information and research institution, committed to being a learning and innovative organization staffed by well motivated personnel and enhanced through continuous quality improvement, to provide timely, high-quality and relevant goods and services, utilizing state of the art technology for customer satisfaction.

Core Functions Data Collection – collects accurate primary and secondary data in a timely and efficient manner. Data Processing – transforms raw data into information. Analysis of data – analysis and evaluation of statistical data. Dissemination of data – provision of publications and information to a wide range of users. Improvement and Development of Products – conducts methodological revisions of existing products and development of new products. Consultancy – provides technical assistance in – Sample design and conduct surveys. – Provision of geographic information services.

Main Activities Conduct Population, Agricultural and Industrial Surveys and Censuses. Collect, compile, analyze and publish high-quality, timely and relevant statistical information relating to different sections of the Economy of Trinidad and Tobago. Collaborate with other Government Departments in the collection, compilation, analysis and publication of statistical data on a continuous and timely basis. Organize and maintain a coordinated set of economic and social statistics relating to Trinidad and Tobago (in accordance with the Statistics Act, Chapter19:02) consistent with International Standards.

The Statistics Act The Statistics Act guarantees confidentiality of information collected. It states, specifically, that data disseminated by the Central Statistical Office must be reported in a manner to prevent any particular individual from being identified as information relating to an individual or undertaking, except with prior consent in writing of that individual or person carrying on the undertaking. Strict penalties are prescribed under the Act for breach of this confidentiality.

Data Dissemination According to the General Data Dissemination System Guide, Data Dissemination is the ultimate goal of any Statistical System and particular attention must be paid to the needs of the users and the choice of appropriate and impartial methods of dissemination using technological advancements as they become available.

Data Dissemination, cont’d Disseminated data must have good coverage regular periodicity and timeliness to be relevant, inform research, planning and analyses. Data quality must have a high priority and should not be sacrificed to maintain timeliness. Maintenance of the Integrity of the Data and confidentiality of individually identifiable information are key factors to be preserved. Ready and equal access by the public is an essential attribute.

Publications and Information The Central Statistical Office is equipped with its own Printing Department so that the reports/bulletins are made available at a subsidized cost so that more people can acquire them Most of the information is published on a regular basis, through established books and reports in hard and soft copy. These Reports contain the methodology used, concepts and definitions, some analysis and macro data tables. A list of Publication/Bulletins with the corresponding periodicity and cost is available to all data users

Library Services The Central Statistical Office is equipped with a well stocked, user friendly Library which includes the historical publications of the CSO as well as Regional and International publications of other Organizations. The Library is also open to the public on a daily basis – no appointments are necessary and there in no charge for use. The Library also distributes the CSO Reports/bulletins to many Universities, Government Departments, International and Regional Organizations and other Special Organizations free of charge.

Geographic Information Systems The main function of the GIS is to produce and provide enumeration district maps to field interviewers for data collection for surveys and censuses. Currently maps are drawn and updated manually and GIS generated maps are produced using data collected from surveys and censuses. Some examples are: Population Distribution of Communities by Municipal Corporations, Location of Social Infrastructure by Municipal Corporations, Location of Police Stations by Police Divisions boundaries, Location of Health facilities by Region Health Authority boundaries and Location of Schools by Education District boundaries. GIS maps are also produced when required by data requests

The World Wide Web The URL of the Central Statistical Office’s website is Most datasets produced by the CSO are published on the website, but the more specialized researcher would have to contact the CSO’s offices for more detailed information.

Emerging Trends - Mobile Apps At present the CSO does not disseminate data with the use of mobile applications technologies. However a competition for University students enrolled in the faculties of Natural Sciences and Engineering will soon be launched. The student(s) that design the best apps for data visualization etc, re the 2011 National Census Demographic Report will be declared the winners and the apps distributed via

Emerging Trends - Demand for Statistics Increased accessibility to data especially through the internet. Greater disaggregation of Statistics especially of Social and Population Statistics eg: Age, Sex, Ethnicity and Region subdivided into smaller communities and districts, such as health, education, police etc. Researchers need micro- level data to perform special studies and Government needs similar tools for planning.

Emerging Trends - Demand for Statistics Greater frequency of periodicity eg: Where data was produced on an annual basis it is now requested on a semi-annual and quarterly basis and where data was produced on a quarterly basis it is now requested on a monthly basis. Increased timeliness and reduced time-lag from time of data collection to production of reports and dissemination of data.

Emerging Trends - Demand for Statistics More requests for presentations of statistics on spatial maps using GIS. There is a move away from use of statistics in hard copy to electronic format. International Institutions and Libraries request reports in soft copy only, due to limited availability of space to house hard copy reports. Data users now demand advance release calendars, at least a year in advance.

Emerging Trends in Data Requests The CSO has been receiving an increased number of requests for statistical data including micro-data, technical support and assistance mainly from organizations in the Public Sector, but also from the private sector, researchers and International Organizations. These requests include micro data access, multiple data queries, assistance with sample selection and sample design, field data collection, questionnaire design and data processing and analysis. The CSO is desirous of providing such support as they contribute to the coordination of the National Statistical System, ensure proper statistical methods and procedures are adopted and guarantee data integrity and data quality. This is critical towards supporting government developmental framework through informed decision making in various government ministries

The Dissemination, Collaboration and Quality Division (Proposed) The Dissemination, Collaboration and Quality Division will undertake activities related to the CSO’s function to coordinate the National Statistical System, meet additional dissemination functions and will perform data quality assessments along the lines of the IMF’s Data Quality Assessment Framework. The Division will also provide the necessary research effort needed for the development and monitoring of public use micro data files that conform with the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act

The Dissemination, Collaboration and Quality Division (Proposed) One major output of this project would be the dissemination of micro socioeconomic data to specialized researchers. This will empower such researchers to conduct studies that examine crime, poverty, chronic illnesses and any number of socioeconomic phenomena experienced by the people of Trinidad and Tobago in much greater detail. It is hoped that this would lead to the formulation of more effective public policies, as well as a greater demand for the statistical products of the CSO

THE END Thank you for your attention
