  1. Measuring Progress Towards Statistical Development in Africa The African Statistical Development Index (ASDI) Third Meeting of the Statistical Commission for Africa 18-23 January 2012 Cape Town, South Africa

  2. Outline • Background • ASDI: Structure • ASDI: Components and Variables • Comparison ASDI with SCBI and SCI • Ranking and Scores of African Countries According to their ASDI • Summary and Conclusions

  3. Background • Global level: Marrakech Action Plan for Statistics (MAPS) • Regional level: Reference Regional Strategic Framework for Statistical Capacity Building in Africa (RRSF) • Need for monitoring the implementation: African Statistical Development Index (ASDI)

  4. ASDI: Structure • RRSF: 12 Strategies and 79 recommendations 79 potential variables for ASDI • Criteria of selection: validity, comparability, simplicity, and data availability • Results: 42 variables organized in five components • Functioning of the national statistical system (NSS) • Statistical infrastructure • Data dissemination • Human capital • Funding

  13. Summary and Conclusions • ASDI is designed for measuring progress made by African countries in terms of statistical development and for comparisons in this regard. • Variables and components of the ASDI were selected by taking into account the conceptual framework, statistical tools and methodologies, and data availability. • ASDI covers well the components of PARIS21 SCBI with given dataset and is correlated to the SCI developed by the World Bank.
