Questions
Start off with an outline of the presentation

3. Challenges in terms of capacity for domestic resources mobilisation for the SDGs
Most countries depend on a national budget, approved by law.
Countries face different challenges (corruption, financial crisis) affecting availability of resources. Statistics are not a priority
Divergence between SDG and country’s planning strategy
SDGs cover new areas, and is more ambitious than MDGs. There are challenges for expanding census/surveys
________

4. Challenges in terms of capacity for domestic resources mobilisation for the SDGs
Focus on executing activities within NSOs, and little investment on monitoring and evaluation.
Cost-reduction efforts (e.g. through administrative records, big data) imply initial investments but are better in the long run.

5. Type of capacity development is required to leverage additional domestic funding for statistics
Partnership with private sector (e.g. CPI), exploring new sources
Innovation/technology should be part of the capacity envelope
Coordination capacity to avoid fragmentation of data collection and reduce costs
Communication skills

6. Explanations on how can be operationalised the proposed solutions
Best “partnership” really depends on each country. No one-size-fits-all model.
Coordination between government and private sector is important.
Why not partnering more with academia/universities? There are opportunities.
Implementation: how to measure results of Capacity Development
