National Coordination: Problems
There is no focal point for reporting of MDG indicators at the national level.
There is no focal point for the MDGs in the NSO. There is no trained personnel for database
management (e.g. DevInfo). There are no specialists to collect the MDG indicators. Some MDGs are not part of official statistics or new to
NSO. Data for some MDG-indicators are not available. There are no agreed standards and definitions.

Reporting MDGs to International Agencies
Coordinating role NSO in reporting MDG-data to international agencies• Active participation in the preparation of reports (UZ)• Coordination and collection of MDG indicators and
provides on request (AZ)• Coordination and production and dissemination of
MDGs that are part of official statistics (MD)• Provide data if available (BH, HR, KZ, ME)
Reason failing to reply to data request:• Data unavailable (neither at Ministries)• Data not available at NSO
- UNECE Statistical Division Slide 9
Reporting MDGs, Current Problem:
Lack of reliable data sourcesLimited attention for improving quality of
source dataNot all data available at regional level
Availability of time-series limitedMetadata limited
- UNECE Statistical Division Slide 10
Reporting MDGs, Measures Taken for improvement:
Addressing data shortage and reliabilityAdditional indicatorsImprovement of the data flowCreation of a database accessible via
internetImprovement of the legal basisStrengthening of institutional capacitiesParticipation in expert meetings
- UNECE Statistical Division Slide 11
Conclusions: NSOs in most cases not main agency for
coordination and quality control of MDGs, but: NSOs in general involved in MDG-report Other ministries/agencies are nearly always
involved in data production Data gaps exists and data quality sometimes an
issue
NSOs do receive data requests but are often unable to reply
Duplicate requests from international organizations are limited
- UNECE Statistical Division Slide 12
International organizations as source
Production of National MDG-report (UNDP etc.)
Surveys (co)organized by international organizations: DHS, MICS
Data repository for international comparison Estimates made by international
organizations: adjusted national data, combining data, intra/extrapolation and other methods
