In that sense the unit: –Compiled information in established systems of statistics; –Arranged a series of high level meetings with the purpose of having a better understanding of concerns and priorities of each sector, and on other hand, promoting the importance of these statistics. – Promoted a seminar with the personnel directly involved with data compilation with the same purpose. –Did a diagnose of all sectors. –Had a second series of meetings to elaborate a concrete proposal of action plan.

11. How to differentiate indicators: –Diagnose of each sector; –Seminars with all relevant statistics producers; –Constant dialogue with the sectors; –Sensibility to the sectors concerns; –Constant dialogue with key users (other ministeries, International Organizations, NGOs)

12. Two separate online platforms: –Public use –Operacional use

13. In terms of capacitation, Cape Verde has a common capacitation program for all the institutions in the National Statistics System, and partners: –Survey on necessities; –The agenda is created; –INEs hire specialists; –The capacitation is done according with the necessities and financial availability. In some cases unprogrammed capacitation is given, and this is made in close collaboration with the sector in need.

14. In terms of quality assurance, INECV did a first diagnose to understand the data process and identify possible fragilities. In a second level there was an assessment in the data itself, and conclusions were shared with the sectors. We found that in all cases there is some type of statistics struture, there is a need to reform data collection instruments. In the cases that the data didn’t meet the standards we’re working in their improvement through reform of instruments.

15. Further steps –Database. –Unique Process Number. –Reform of instruments.
