5. Metadata & discrepancy follow-up

6. Metadata follow-up Establish full metadata exchange with all countries (either through SDMX/ handbook). - Once a first draft of the metadata handbook / document is complete, … - Continue to conduct follow-up events on metadata in project countries with participants from across National Statistical System (NSS) - Continuous process, shouldn’t stop with publication of a handbook

7. feedback loop s Step 1: Review of country data and metadata Review match with intl. series Step 2: Classify series as “exact”, “consistent” or “discrepant” Step 3: Review metadata of “consistent” and “discrepant” series for explanations Step 4: Prepare report on explanations for country/ intl. agency National Statistical Office National Registry Publish & register new data and metadata Notification & download Upload, publish & visualise NSO to review and feedback in new data and metadata

8. Indicator expansion

9. Expand the number of indicators (including non- MDGs), time series and observations exchanged with existing countries. This takes significant time (update DSD) will work closely with interested countries (i.e. Palestine, Thailand and Viet Nam)

10. Complete software development & upgrade

11. Software 1 remaining local country installations need to be upgraded to version 7 An installer package is final piece of development under the software and will be used whenever a country wishes to update their software

12. Advocacy & awareness raising

13. Raising awareness Planning of further launch events in country (where appropriate) Project will continue to assist NSO to make project outputs relevant and useful to key users (i.e. Ministry of Planning/ Finance) and promote this approach.
