1. Developing reporting system for SDG and Agenda 2063, contribution of National Statistical System, issues faced and challenges
CSA Ethiopia

2. Integration between the country Growth and Development plan (GTP) and SDG
The constitution is the foundation for all national strategies and policies
International conventions which are approved by the country are considered as National commitment according to the constitution
The country’s vision, economic policies and national development plan (GTP) enhance synergy with SDG
Accordingly integration of the National development plan (GTP) with SDG started

3. Integration between the country Growth and Development plan (GTP) and SDG cont’d
The SDG is integrated in to the GTP starting from the development stage with the objective , pillars (goals) and macro economic direction of the country plan
Integration is also started at targets and indicators level. A number of SDG targets and indicators are already included in the GTP policy matrix.
But not all indicators and targets are integrated and this needs further consideration in the future

4. Monitoring and evaluation system of the country
Monitoring and evaluation in the country follows the same procedure as the preparation of the countries development plan and follows sectoral approach
The monitoring and evaluation procedure is conducted mainly based on the National Strategy for the development of Statistics (NSDS)

5. Monitoring and evaluation system of the country cont’d
Policy matrix with annual targets and indicators is prepared to monitor over all and sectoral performances
Annual reports will be prepared in consultation with regions and sectors and then approved by government and distributed
The same system will be followed to monitor the SDG goals

6. Monitoring and evaluation structure
National Plan commission is responsible for Monitoring and evaluation of the countries development plan
It also coordinates the preparation of evaluation reports, consultative forums and distribution of reports.
National plan council led by the prime minister which involves regions is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of major targets and indicators and provides policy direction
Sector ministries are also expected to monitor and evaluate their sector plan and are expected to prepare report and also to produce data from administrative records

7. Monitoring and evaluation structure cont’d
Central Statistical Agency is responsible to develop a statistics plan which is the National Strategy for the development of statistics based on the countries development plan.
Based on the statistics plan the agency is expected to produce data from census and survey, conduct data quality assessment, capacity building and coordinate the NSS.

8. Implementation tools for monitoring and evaluation of the plan
Policy matrix with indicators and targets is prepared and monitoring and evaluation will be conducted at different time and level based on the matrix
National Strategy for the development of Statistics (NSDS) is developed with list of survey and census and other statistical activities for monitoring and evaluation of the plan.

9. Sources of data for monitoring and evaluation
Sample survey and census conducted by CSA based on the NSDS
Data from administrative records prepared by sector ministries and regions
Data from other reliable data sources and surveys

14. Major census and survey in CSA
Population and housing census every 10 years- the next in 2017
Annual Agriculture survey and census
Household consumption survey – five year
Welfare monitoring survey – five year
Labor force survey - five year
Manufacturing industry survey – every year

15. Activities planned and conducted to support ministries and regions
Some activities are planned to support sectors to build or improve their management information system
Improvement of management information system is one of the sub theme under data development in the NSDS
This involves supporting the establishment and functioning of the M&E system

16. Activities planned and conducted to support ministries and regions
NSS coordination and preparation of sector strategic plan is another activity to support regions and sectors
This involves setting different coordination mechanisms and prepare strategic plan for five sectors
Conducting data quality assessment is also planned
Data quality assessment for education, health and water sector is already conducted.

17. opportunities
Increasing demand for timely and high quality data (adoption of evidence-based management );
Existence of the National Statistics council;
Willingness on the part of the donors to support statistical development both financially and technically;
Government interest and commitment for the development and strengthening of the statistical system.

18. opportunities
Initiatives related to data collection, analysis and dissemination in Africa and the world – initiatives to suport Data revolution and related initiatives
Modernization in data collection and dissemination related to technological developments
Development in geo-spacial data and integration to statistical activities
Initiatives from development partners on SDG - UN development account project

19. Challenges Absence of base line data for some indicators
Capacity gap to produce, analyze and use the data
Methodology for data production specially for those needed at disaggregated level
Need for agreed formats and standards in the NSS
week data reporting system in some sectors
Data need increase in coverage and frequency and capacity to satisfy the need
Week coordination between and within the NSS .

20. challenges
Lack of support from the management of sectors for statistical activities
Inadequate placement of statistical units within sectors set-up and lack of effective organizational structures across the NSS.
high turn-over of staff and poor conditions of service for the MIS staff of the NSS.
Inadequate Infrastructures in terms of physical, statistical and ICT that are required to support data production in an efficient manner to meet data demands.
lack of statistical awareness in the community

21. challenges
Inadequate resources and logistics for statistical production
Low level of capacity in data users.
Duplication of efforts in data collection
Mismatch of data from different sources
Data Gaps in the new areas like Environment, Tourism, Horticulture, Gender responsive statistics and on other emerging issues;

22. challenges
Non response and Low level of cooperation of data suppliers in statistical operations leading to poor data quality and lack of timeliness in data release;
Weak Institutional knowledge management;
Absence or below standard state of Management Information System for many sectors and lack of training to establish and operate MIS;
Data quality issue in administrative records

23. Conclusion and way foreword
Effective coordination among data producers and users is essential. Mechanism should be set for this.
Well organized and sustainable monitoring and evaluation needed
Agreed standard procedure should be set and followed at all level
The higher officials should own and give serious attention for the management information system in their sectors and region so as to produce quality and timely administrative data
Avoid duplication of effort in data production by effective coordination
Capacity building for the staff working in data specially at grass root level

24. Conclusion and wayforeword
Implement effective advocacy for the community to reduce non response at all level and get quality data
Financial and technical support for effective implementation of the five year statistical plan (NSDSII) needed
Participation of all stack holders including the government, private sector, civil society and the public at large is very important for the effective development of the reporting system for M&E of SDG and GTP
The government structure is expected to play its coordination an leading role effectively
Advocacy should be done at all level
