  1. REPORTING ON SUPPORT TO STATISTICS FASDEV meeting, Cape Town 17 January 2012

  2. What is the PRESS?

  3. The PRESS • Consistent with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and its call for aligned and harmonized aid to developing countries, the PRESS provides : • a tool for improved collaboration among providers of development co-operation supporting statistical development • a snapshot of ongoing statistical support reported by partners, answering the questions of who, what, where and how much ?

  4. The PRESS aims to • Learn what development partners are doing in the statistical field and identify countries or areas of statistics in need of more support. • Offer this information to financial and technical partners responsible for giving aid and to countries receiving it. • Raise the profile of statistics within the overall context of aid to developing countries.

  11. From PRESS to CRESS

  12. From PRESS to CRESS Reminder: Based on the PRESS experience conducted at the international level, PARIS21 has launched a pilot exercise named CRESS (Country Report on Support to Statistics) at the country level. The CRESS is a country-led exercise to gather all data relating to the funding of the entire NSS whether deriving from national resources or donor support.

  13. CRESS Objectives The ultimate objective is to improve efficiency of the NSS through a better co-ordination and better information sharing. The CRESS should help: inform policymakers and financial and technical partners (FTPs) of the volume of support to statistics; provide information useful to strengthening and improving co-ordination; identify the needs in terms of financing statistics including statistical capacity development; monitor the financing of FTPs; and serve as an important input into NSDS design/updating.

  14. Piloting the CRESS • Current work: • Pilots in Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Malawi. • Senegal is conducting a full PER on statistics (with WB support). PARIS21 advising on CRESS component. • Secretariat providing concept note, template questionnaire, guidance, database development. • Results in early 2012.
