There is need for a policy document that empowers NSO to collect Data. This can be in form of a statistical act.

 STRUCTURES  TRAINING  BENEFITS  QUALITY ASSURANCE  DATA VALIDATION

 The GPS should fit with the institutional structures to enable its growth  There should be a designated officer directly responsible for this set of statistics

 Identify the training needs at institutional level, this was done during the data mapping exercise  The training was conducted using a phased approach  Out source of technical person in various governance themes was done. These presented as Guest speakers during the training

 Encourage open ness during the training and the urgent governance needs for the country. This would form the plat form for prioritizing the indicators  Emphase collective responsibility for all the stakeholders  Ownership and support is emphased during the training

 The method of data collection should be clear  Tools and metadata should be well done  Computing standard errors for primary source data is a good way of checking reliability  The standard for collecting the information should be known with the entire governance group. This can be a module during the training  Establish checks for different indicators. This is usually presented in the manual of instructions

 This should be a collective effort, all members need to agree on the indicators to be considered.  Develop checks for internal consistencies

THANK YOU!
