1. WHY DO WE NEED Capacity development 4.0?
12th Meeting of the Management Group on Statistical Cooperation
12-13 April 2018
Luxembourg
Millicent Gay Tejada
Programme Co-ordinator, Asia-Pacific and SIDS

2. Overview of Presentation
Rationale for CD 4.0
Definition and conceptual framework
Operationalization and next steps

3. 1. Rationale for C.D. 4.0 Currently mainly technical support
Supply driven approaches to C.D.
New challenges in statistical systems
New data needs

4. Mainly technical support
Support mainly takes the form of:
training on technical skills
data collection exercises
alignment with international standards
Usually no clear objectives for capacity development
Little attention to data use

5. Supply driven approaches to C.D.
The more international support countries receive, the less relevant capacity development programmes are to their needs.

“The process through which a country’s national statistical system, its organisations and individuals obtain, strengthen and maintain their abilities to collect, produce, analyse and disseminate high quality and reliable data to meet users’ needs”
