Data revolution for what purpose?

- More data?- Better policies?- Better lives?

Page 14: What role for statistical capacity in a “data revolution”?

WANTED: a Data Revolution

“A true data revolution would draw on existing and

new sources of data to fully integrate statistics into

decision making, promote open access to, and use

of, data and ensure increased support for

statistical systems.”

A call to action from the highest level

Call for data revolution comes from Busan Action Plan on Statistics, that seeks to :

Fully integrate statistics in decision making

Promote open access to and use of data

Increase resources for statistical systems

National ownership, benefit the people, build on

what we have.

Reduces the risk of “crowding out / in” ;

unsustainable financing.

Better data, better policies?

Innovations not only in data but also in capacity

building e.g. skill development.

Strengthening national capacity is a key element of any data revolution

Page 17: What role for statistical capacity in a “data revolution”?

How to ensure strengthening a balance

between horizontal and vertical approaches?

How to bear in mind the reality on the ground in

many poor, (fragile) developing countries?

How to reach out beyond our circles to reach

the broader policy, advocacy communities?
