To formulate a road map for a data revolution in preparation for the UN General Assembly in September 2015 where the Post 2015 development agenda is expected to be agreed and launched. The IDR Project involves the conduct of in-depth country studies, the main purpose of which is to provide an understanding of the situation facing statistics in 2014 in countries at different levels of statistical development. The studies will be a stocktaking exercise that includes an inventory of the needs of both users and producers of statistics, covering the agencies in the official statistical system and other public and private producers, where they are important. The Philippines was one of the pilot countries to take part in all three stages of the Project, including the in-depth investigation. Through the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), it participated in the: (1) provision of information on the structure, activities and outputs of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS); (2) participation in the PARIS21 survey as part of the IDR Cross-Country Studies; and (3) participation in the in-depth investigation and analysis of the pilot countries. | |
To identify the constraints linked with survey planning and the technical, methodological, organizational, financial and institutional solutions selected national statistical agencies have implemented to overcome these constraints.
