1. Why this forum?
• Understand regional processes on statistics
• Share regional practices on statistical co-operation across all regions
• Discuss benefits and necessity of an RSDS
• Reach a consensus on the elements of RSDS to inform the preparation of flexible guidelines

2. Where regional statistical co-operation is taking place?• UN regional commissions (e.g., ECA,ECLAC, ECE, ESCAP, ESCWA)
• Regional offices of UN agencies (e.g., FAO, WHO, UNICEF)
• Subregional inter-governmental bodies (e.g., Afristat, African Union, ASEAN, CAN, Caricom, ECOWAS, SAARC, SADC, SICA, SPC, UEMOA)
• Regional development banks (e.g., AfDB, ADB, IADB, IsDB)
• Regional capacity building centers (e.g., SIAP, EASTAC)
• Bilateral and multilateral agencies

3. What are the elements of regional statistical co-operation?
• Group of chief statisticians regularly meet to oversee regional statistical activities (i.e., annual meeting)
• Organisational structure guides regional action based on chief statisticians’ decisions (e.g., statistics committee)
• Formal adoption and periodical review of a long-term strategy (i.e., RSDS)

• Development partners’ support enables regional solutions and country-specific interventions
• Collaboration and support of multi-year statistical projects
3. What are the elements of regional statistical co-operation?
![Page 7: Reinforcing Statistical Co-operation at the Regional Level to Support Sustainable Development PARIS21 Regional Forum 5-6 October 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697c0081a28abf838cc6de4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

4. What is the added value of regional statistical co-operation?
• Expands range of globally comparable statistical measures
• Contributes to diminishing the cost of a comprehensive national statistical system
• Establishes and operates relevant statistical infrastructure for countries with limited resources

4. What is the added value of regional statistical co-operation?
• Recognizes the nature of societies and economies of countries in the region
• Advances the quality of NSS in the face of obsolence in technologies and practices
• Enables all countries to benefit from development partners’ contibution

4. What is the added value of regional statistical co-operation?
• Builds and enables access to: range and mix of skills and capabilities essential
for an NSS funding for regular operations of major statistical
sources
• Contributes to international standard-setting by developing countries
• Complements statistical operation of countries with limited capability

RSDSA strategic regional
plan on statistics prepared and agreed to by regional authorities and member countries
Objectives• Framework for producing
regional data • Ensure comparability of statistics produced by NSSs
across the region• Harmonize statistics between
member countries
Outcomes• Coordinated national and regional
statistical programmes (e.g. data collection activities)
• Harmonised conceptual frameworks and methods
• Strengthened national and regional statistical systems
• Regional institutions serving as statistical centres of excellence in
the region
PurposeAn efficient Regional Statistical System to respond to statistical needs of a regional
development agenda
5. What is RSDS?Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics

RSDS WORLDWIDE: Some Examples• CENTROESTAD & SICA Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics (RSDS) process since 2012
• Ten-Year PacificStatistics Strategy 2011-2020
• SADC RSDS 2013-2018
• Strategic Plan for the Establishment of the ASEAN Community Statistical System (ACSS) 2011-2015

Link between RSDS and NSDS Complementary Processes
![Page 13: Reinforcing Statistical Co-operation at the Regional Level to Support Sustainable Development PARIS21 Regional Forum 5-6 October 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/5697c0081a28abf838cc6de4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

RSDS, NSDS Sequence• No recommended sequence when
formulating RSDS and NSDS – it can be formulated one after the other or in parallel
• What is important : NSDS should include programs that would address regional
statistical needs (including standards to adhere to) RSDS define specific regional or sub-regional statistical
priorities consistent with regional development goals and policies; and consider capacity building needs of member countries to enable them to deliver on regional statistical needs

6. What’s ahead: RSDS in Post-2015
• Flexible RSDS guidelines to include: Principles and areas of cooperation Role distribution of key actors and stakeholders Description of regional processes Investment strategy
• Support to regions in RSDS design and implementation complementing NSDS
