ECA Overview of the result of self- assessment survey on integration of Administrative data sources for the Compilation of SDG Indicators Sub-regional workshop on Data Integration for compilation of SDG indicators Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 23 April 1 2018
Introduction Introduction Administrative records are data collected for the purpose of carrying out various non-statistical programs or administrative purposes. The records are collected with a specific decision-making purpose in mind and not primarily for research purposes. Examples : Border export and import data, Companies Office data, Tax data related to individual businesses, Medical record data. The use of administrative data can improve the efficiency of statistical production; administrative data do not incur additional cost for data collection nor do they impose a further burden on respondents.
Standards regarding admin. data in statistical production Standards regarding admin. data in statistical production National laws (statistical Act) should oblige all national and local authorities to provide the Producers of Official Statistics, free of charge, with data in their possession for the production of official statistics and with the metadata that enable assessing data quality. Transmission of admin. data and any other data should be regulated in the annual statistical programme in the production of official statistics. NSO should make proactive effort to improve quality of administrative data and their use in the production of official statistics. the standards and guidelines adopted should be promoted for use by admin. data providers. Producers of Official Statistics may cooperate with the admin. data providers to improve their procedures and methods of quality control and error correction
