3. 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

4. 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

5. 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.
