  2. The Statistical Master Plan • A 15 year plan (2005 – 2015) • Grew out of a multi-donor PARIS 21 evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the Cambodian official statistics system • Driven by a desire to be less driven by donor whims when it comes to the programme of survey and capacity building activities that NIS implements. Role of Statistics Master Plans

  3. The Statistical Master Plan (2005-1015) • Finalised in mid-2005 when the new 5 year plan (NSDP) was only half way through preparation. So it could not relate directly to the M&E requirements of the NSDP • However, there was an agreement in 2003 that the NSDP would use the CMDGs as the ultimate outcome goals for M&E. • There was already a draft Statistics Law and outline of the National Statistical System in place. • So the SMP and NSDP are entirely consistent. Role of Statistics Master Plans

  4. Role of Statistical Master Plan • SMP sets out the vision of the Cambodian National Statistical System (NSS) and the role of official statistics through to 2015 • SMP lays out time frames such as for major national household surveys censuses and major surveys and population census (2008) • The frequency and timeliness of statistics dissemination were highly considered, especially with regards to M&E requirements in NSDP • Link to Rectangular Strategy; NSDP, CMDGs; Public Financial Management reforms; and Governance Action Plan Role of Statistics Master Plans

  5. Role of Statistical Master Plan • Budget requirements were set out according to both the NSDP M&E requirements and national statistical system • The frequency and timeliness of statistics dissemination were highly considered, especially with regards to M&E requirements in NSDP • SMP commits Government to gradually ramp up its financial commitment to core statistical tasks • For successful implementation, SMP requires adequate human resources, thus a long term plan for capacity and infrastructure development. Role of Statistics Master Plans

  6. Challenges • Possible financing gaps as government may not be able to respond to the need to ramp up its budget allocation • Lack of demand for statistics or evidence-based policy making • SMP needs effectively-enforced Statistics Law and effective coordination bodies; • It needs core staff capacity to implement the SMP Role of Statistics Master Plans
