Global Strategy: Implementation Plan for Africa Meeting on Country Needs Assessment Addis Ababa, Ethiopia August 2012 Governance Mechanism of the Action Plan for Africa by Prof. Ben Kiregyera Consultant, African Development Bank

1.Background 2.Challenges 3.Recent Statistical Initiatives & Structures 4.Methodology to Ensure Success 5.Governance mechanism 6.Conclusions Scope 2

1.Background 3  recent years witnessed unprecedented increase in demand for statistics in developing countries new focus on managing for development results (MfDR) (nationally & internationally) poverty reduction strategies (PRSs) MDGs other development programmes (sectoral)  new and emerging policy issues – environment and climate change, gender, biofuels, etc.  need “good statistics” – comprehensive, relevant, accurate, consistent & timely to illuminate above issues

2. Challenges  Institutional & organizational lack of clarity about difference between organization & institution tendency to over-emphasize organizational issues institutional issues are as important, “unless they allow and enable organizational improvements to happen, they won’t”  Institutional issues about “wider environment” laws, policies, government commitments, norms and cultures, etc  Organizational issues about “players” structure, people & processes organizations have discrete boundaries, a budget and structures 4

Challenges (cd)  Institutional challenges identity & ownership of agricultural statistics (NSO, MOA, decentralized units?) statistical legislations lack of or inadequate coordination (technical, institutional, organizational) (next slide) lack of integrated systems (piecemeal approach) tendency to use quick fix approaches (data vs. capacity building) statistics not mainstreamed in policy, planning & budget processes inadequate data management inadequate use of existing data 5

Structures  Statistical Commission for Africa (StatCom-Africa) (2007) Apex inter-governmental body in charge of statistics in Africa Members are Directors General of NSOs Reports to:  Conference of Ministers of Finance and Economy  UN Statistical Commission  African Commission for Agricultural Statistics (AFCAS) (1962) apex body for agricultural statistics in Africa responsibility review state of agricultural statistics in Africa advise countries on agricultural statistics meets every two years heads of agricultural statistics departments 11

Structures (ctd)  Sub-regional organizations (SROs) Afristat established 1993 West and Central Africa  19 members states  harmonize development of statistics among member states Statistical Training Centres (STCs) AfDB working with & supporting 6 ENSEA (Abidjan), INSEA (Rabat), ISSEA (Yaoundé), DSD-ENEA (Dakar), ISAE (Uganda), EASTC (Tanzania), 13

4. Methodology to ensure success of Action Plan  Stakeholder ownership  Use of existing structures - StatCom-Africa, AFCAS, RECs/SROs, etc.  Mainstreaming statistics in national/sector plans, programs & budgets  Phased approach Year 1: 15 countries Year 2: 30 countries Year 3: 53 countries  Accountability – monitoring & reporting at every level  Donor support – optimize use of support 14

4.Governance mechanism Implementation & management arrangements 15  Establish an institutional framework and coordination arrangements for the implementation of the Plan  Provide support to the technical components of the Strategy for its smooth implementation Chart

16 StatCom-Africa & AFCAS Regional Steering Committee (Executive Committee) Regional Implementation Secretariat (at AfDB) National Agricultural Statistics Committee National Strategy Coordinator (Within NSS) ECA (Regional Strategy Leader on Training) LEGEND Vertical relationship Horizontal relationship Integral Part For Information Policy Bodies Operational structures Structures to be kept in the loop FAO (Regional Strategy Leader on Research) AfDB (Regional Strategy Leader on Technical Assistance) RECs/SROs NEPAD CoDGs National Technical Working Group Global Implementation Office Governance structure of the AP for Africa

Governance at regional level  Regional Steering Committee  Responsibilities elaborate implementation of Strategy (setting regional goals, priorities & objectives) approving work plans providing overall management reporting progress to StatCom-Africa, CoDG & Global Governing Board 17

 Membership Members of the ASCC (AfDB, UNECA & AU) African Friends of the Chair of UNSC (Ethiopia, Uganda, Morocco & Senegal) + 4 other selected countries Chair, Bureau of StatCom-Africa (S.

 Regional Component Coordinators Training (UNECA) Research (FAO) Technical assistance (AfDB) Responsibilities preparing proposals of technical components overseeing & coordinating implementation of technical components backstopping, monitoring & evaluation of technical components drawing technical support from countries & most appropriate RECS/SROs 21

 Regional Economic Communities/Sub-regional Organizations to be used as appropriate 22

Governance at national level  countries are AP’s main beneficiaries  primary responsibility for AP implementation  streamlined governance important because: agricultural statistics still defined in narrow terms – crops & livestock production of agricultural data scattered among different organizations & agencies agricultural statistics is weakest aspect of National Statistical System in most countries agricultural statistics not mainstreamed in NSS 23

National Agricultural Statistics Committee  standing Data User-Producer Committee  Membership: Sub-sectors of food, agricultural and environment data crop livestock, fishery forestry environment Nutrition and/or food security Relevant sub- sectors (education, health, labour, water, etc) NSO 24

 Responsibility: Oversee the development of the National Agricultural Statistical System National Strategy Coordinator  lead agency – MoA or NSO- designate Coordinator  coordinate administrative and technical work  work closely with Regional Strategy Coordinator, national NSDS coordinator, etc. Technical Working Group  about 5 officials, each representing a sub-sector of agric.  assist the NSC 25

5.Conclusion  Governance is essential to support technical components  It is one of the weakest aspects of statistics in many African countries  need to define governance arrangements at all levels (national, continental, international) 26
