12. - UNECE Statistical Division Slide 12 Reporting MDGs to International Agencies  Coordinating role NSO in reporting MDG-data to international agencies Active participation in the preparation of reports (UZ) Coordination and collection of MDG indicators and provides on request (AZ) Coordination and production and dissemination of MDGs that are part of official statistics (MD) Provide data if available (BH, HR, KZ, ME)  Reason failing to reply to data request: Data unavailable (neither at Ministries) Data not available at NSO

13. - UNECE Statistical Division Slide 13 Reporting MDGs, Current Problems:  ‘Lack of reliable data sources’  ‘Limited attention for improving quality of source data’  ‘Not all data available at regional level’  Availability of time-series limited  Metadata limited

14. - UNECE Statistical Division Slide 14 Reporting MDGs, Measures Taken for improvement:  Addressing data shortage and reliability  Additional indicators  Improvement of the data flow  Creation of a database accessible via internet  Improvement of the legal basis  Strengthening of institutional capacities  Participation in expert meetings

15. - UNECE Statistical Division Slide 15 Conclusions:  NSOs in most cases not main agency for coordination and quality control of MDGs, but:  NSOs in general involved in MDG-report  Other ministries/agencies are nearly always involved in data production  Data gaps exists and data quality is sometimes an issue  NSOs do receive data requests but are often unable to reply  Duplicate requests from international organizations are limited
