NSDS
Luanda 2-6 December 2006
2 underlying principles
1. Managing for development results:
statistics contribute to the development
agenda
2. Total quality management:
achieve results for all stakeholders
(development outcomes, users
satisfaction, staff satisfaction, national
statistical system performances)
Luanda 2-6 December 2006
Strategic Mgt for statistics
A long term view is compulsory
– Development programmes cycles spread over
several years (i.e PRSP, MDG)
– Some operations are reproduced every few years
– Assure comparability over long periods of time
– Engineering and reengineering often require more
than a year
– Administrative processes take their time
– Cannot do everything at once, need for prioritizing
Luanda 2-6 December 2006
A National Strategy for the
Development of Statistics
• A coherent set of interdependent decisions
• made by national authorities,
• about what will be achieved over the next 5 to 6
years,
• so that better statistics and better analysis of
them are made available,
• responding to priority needs of national and
international decision makers as well as those of
the civil society
An NSDS is country and time specific
Luanda 2-6 December 2006
Why having an NSDS
• The statistical system might have to be
reconstructed (fragile states, post-conflict)
• Poverty reduction strategy and MDG
reports demonstrate the urgent need for
enhancing production of national statistics
• To make sure that statistics will deliver for
the 2010 and 2015 MDGs rendezvous
• Or simply because the actual strategy
needs to be reviewed

A personal point of view
Luanda 2-6 December 2006
What about a Global Strategy for
the Development of Statistics?
• There are global development issues:
MDG, Sustainable development and a global agenda
• There is a Global Statistical System
• Statistics outputs are not yet up to the challenge
• Developing countries need development resources,
mainly finances and technical assistance, on a much
larger scale and for many years to come
• There is a need for improved aid effectiveness and
for an holistic approach to statistics development
