TYPSS Strategic Objectives TYPSS plan outlines six strategic objectives to guide statistical development in the Pacific over the decade to 2021, these strategies are: implementing a regular census and core survey program; producing a core set of statistics; addressing capacity constraints; improving data access and utilisation; more consistent and comparable statistical approaches; and effective governance.
Progress to Date Census & HIES rounds underway with support from SDD Standardisation of questionnaires & methodologies is progressing; also with support from SDD Work on improving national accounts & key economic statistics is progressing slowly but steadily across the region; supported primarily by PFTAC with support from SDD But there is a feeling amongst NSOs that progress needs to be enhanced to boost momentum in other aspects of the strategies
Taking TYPSS to a new level In particular greater emphasis is need towards implementation of the TYPSS strategies for: capacity building, data access and utilisation, and Governance; need more emphasis In addition more NSOs should aim to prepare their own National Statistics Strategies as they have agreed under Paris 21 Discussion paper aims to provide a basis for giving TYPSS the desired boost
Key Recommendations 1 The discussion paper makes the following key recommedations: The appointment of a full-time TYPSS Project Coordinator (PrC); the PrC would: work under the general direction of the PSSC and the day-to-day supervision of the Director SDD and would be responsible for delivery on the TYPSS work-programme to PSSC; Strengthen the links between statistics producers and users by appointing a senior planner to be a member of PSSC; Provision of a budget for PSSC chair to support the chair s (and PSSC) increased role in the governance, management and implementation of TYPSS;
Key Recommendations 2 the establishment of a small regional institutional strengthening and capacity building team (a core team of perhaps 2 or 3) with access to additional funding resources in order to be able to conduct training courses at regional, sub-regional and national levels and call on other specialist inputs as necessary; this team would, inter alia, assist countries to: develop their national statistics strategies; provide institutional development support to smaller NSOs (and others as requested); conduct regular country or sub-regional based training (e.g. restoring the Data Analysis & Report Writing programme), calling on specialist inputs as necessary; promote the use of statistics for policy analysis, and reporting at regional and international levels (MDGs/NMDI); and bring about the harmonisation aspects of the Pacific Plan and TYPSS strategies.
