2. Advocacy – key messages• Better use of better national statistics leads to
better policies, better aid effectiveness and better development outcomes
• Good statistics improve transparency and accountability of Governments decisions
• Investment in statistics will pay for itself many times over by improving resource allocation
• Statistics are needed for “upstream” policy development; as well as for “downstream” processes such as monitoring and evaluation
