Lessons Learned
![Page 17: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Strategy and Planning
• Exchange of experiences • Should invest in preparation prior to release:
– Setup (complete DevInfo team w/ clear functions & responsibilities)
– Necessity of Technical/Steering Committee– Establish (feedback between DevInfo team, statistics
producers, UN agencies).– Clear strategy and plan of action– Emphasis on quality– Prioritize MDG DB– Raise awareness of decision-makers to make use of
available statistics
![Page 18: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Database Management
• Start with planning process• Start small, think BIG!• Importance of establishing:
– DevInfo team– Committees: Steering and Technical– Formal agreements with line ministries
• Involve users from beginning• DB management requires experts for assessing data and
metadata
![Page 19: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DevInfo as CRD
• DevInfo is user-friendly as a program and interface• Web-enabling option• Institutional link between DBs and DevInfo• Customized national DevInfo• Use of GIS• Mapping facility• Data organized by themes for targeted policy-making• Store other activities’ data such as surveys & censuses• Ready-tailored metadata and indicators of MDG framework• Availability of international sources of data
![Page 20: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Data coverage
• Sex disaggregated data• Small area disaggregated data• Time series• Different sources• Strengths and weaknesses of DB• Establish processes for data collection• Review of list of indicators in national database relative to
global MDG list• Addition of country-specific development indicators• Review of meta-data on indicators, sources• Review of geographical areas/maps
![Page 21: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Producer – User dialogue
• Establish linkages with line ministries
• Regular forums
• Unification of standards and methods
• Unification of classifications and definitions
• Data-entry by line ministries through web
• Train users to understand statistics, indicators, and analysis of data
![Page 22: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dissemination
• Press releases• Web-enabling• Dissemination through workshops• Addition of DevInfo links to NSO sites (including training
material)• Provision of DevInfo CD with national MDGR• Knowledge transfer• Roll-out advocacy campaign
![Page 23: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Structure & Content
• Spell Check• Thematic databases• Always refer to global DB structures - Import MDG indicators and goals
from global DB – do not type.• Planning of DB content is essential• Continuous check of data quality• Metadata• Follow standard naming of source• Document all changes made• Assessment of data availability has to be done BEFORE creating a
template • Source of data should specify the original producer ex. MOH for health
indicators• Naming of source should follow “PAL_MOH_DHS_2003”• Set up different DBs for big amounts of info ex.census & surveys• Remove indicators with no data values to avoid over reporting

Mapping
• Continent and country level: apply ISO coding
• Ensure each area ID is connected to area name and vice versa
• Start working towards a target for infrastructure maps
• Area ID is the key to the mapping
![Page 25: Expected Outputs & Lessons Learned Léa Hakim & Neda Jafar Statistics Coordination Unit, ESCWA Workshop on Building Country Capacity to Maintain a Central](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514b420550346b2598b6448/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Data Quality
• During data entry preferable to insert value not formula
• Review data and consistency – do not rely on automated ways
• Do not include indicators with missing values
• Avoid duplication
• Ensure completeness of data values and time series
