Eurostat Forthcoming EU support to African capacity building for statistical production Pieter Everaers, Eurostat, Director of Cooperation in the European Statistical System; International Cooperation; Resources First Joint Session of the Committee of Directors Generals of National Statistics Offices and the Statistical Commission for Africa Tunis, December 2014

Eurostat Context 2 African Union Integration Growing continental approach to statistical production Great strides being made (census coverage) African Charter on statistics Coordinated joint strategy (SHaSA and common goals and working approaches) Decision on the new AU Institute Strong African momentum for statistics

Eurostat EU interest to support AU statistics EU support for AU integration Joint Africa-EU Strategy includes joint initiatives on mobility and migration Human development Private investment Infrastructure EU financial flows to Africa (public and private) – impact measurement AU official statistics will be used by EU governments, businesses, citizens 3

Eurostat EU response New Pan African Instrument (for all sectors) to support African Union Integration A Pan African Statistical Capacity Building Programme (EU support) Key partners: the AU Commission Statistics Division 4

Eurostat Rationale for Eurostat role Share Eurostat (ESS) experience of producing statistics linked to integration needs Share Eurostat experience of bringing national statistical systems together into one European Statistical System Opportunity to build on ESS lessons recognising that the African context is very different 5

Eurostat Elements of the EU experience European statistics needed to develop and monitor EU policies and distribute EU resources Different quality categories for statistics (for political decisions, standard data, experimental) Many challenges faced Integrating 28 statistical systems into one ESS Assuring quality Remaining relevant to EU integration needs as they change Modernisation 6

Eurostat Broad aims of EU support for AU statistics Improve the quality of statistics in Africa in key domains Quality means the availability, reliability, comparability, accuracy, timeliness (inter alia) Support the setting up of effective ways of working within the African Statistical System Build capacity of the people and the institutions Facilitate the transfer and uptake of good practice and common tools 7

Eurostat Specific areas of support Support functioning of the SHaSA Specialist Technical Groups to develop/improve statistical methodology and indicators in key domains Resources for the development and roll out of continent wide tools and approaches (e.g. quality assessments, ERETES) Maintenance and training for common statistical tools Support creation of data centre at the AU level, and communication channels (website, publications, etc.) Support to the setting up of the AU Institute 8

Eurostat Supporting African statistical methodology and production in priority domains Focus on AU/EU priority areas, namely Trade, National Accounts, Employment and Migration, SDGs - areas of joint strategic importance to EU & AU Some more limited ad-hoc support to other areas (climate change, governance) Work towards concrete progress – more and better statistics in these areas Methodology harmonisation Data collection Improved dissemination 9

Eurostat Support to develop common AU practice Why? Widespread use of common tools underpins a harmonised continental approach What? Statistical IT tools, quality tools and techniques, Africa-specific methodologies/tools ERETES, Eurotrace, chosen AU quality tools such as peer review, global assessment, snapshot-style Other 'common tools' will need to be developed (based on continental needs) How? The STGs will have a key role to identify appropriate tools (e.g. ERETES already chosen by the AGNA) 10

Eurostat Next steps and timing of the support Final stage of agreement to the support (from EU MS) reached in November 2014 Procurement of services during 2015 (takes a long time in EU!) Organisation of stakeholder meetings during 2015 to aid preparation (including with the RECs) Resources to come on stream in early
