2. IHSN and ADP IHSN Status, funding and governance Members: international survey sponsors and TA providers Secretariat: DFID, PARIS21, World Bank (coordination) Management Group chaired by Shaida Badiee –DFID, ILO, PARIS21, UNICEF, UNSD, WB, WHO Core program implemented as a PARIS21 satellite program since March 2006 World Bank funding ($1m for 2009) “In kind” contribution from various agencies Work with academics (Cornell, ICPSR, AED, etc.)

3. IHSN and ADP A PARIS21 satellite program since 2006 Funded mainly by World Bank ($2.2m for 2009) Coordinated and implemented by a small team at P21/WB (same team as IHSN) Relies on IHSN Reports to the IHSN Management Group (+own agency) Contribution from various sponsors and partners; implemented as a multi-agency program in some countries Zambia  GTZ/Global Fund/P21; Nigeria  P21/WB/WHO ; Guinea  Luxembourg/P21/WB /Afristat; Vanuatu  SPC/WB St Lucia  P21/UNDP/WB ; Côte d’Ivoire  AfDB/P21/UNFPA. ADP Status, funding and governance

4. IHSN and ADP ADP – Highlights since last SC New countries: Morocco, Cambodia, Vanuatu, Marshall Islands, Côte d’Ivoire, St Lucia, Panama Rapid take-off in Maghreb, Asia and the Pacific Approached by Kazakhstan, Russia, ESCWA June 2009: 52 countries and 9 expressions of interest More data catalogs accessible on line Recent surveys being documented without ADP support African Development Bank and SPC to take part in the funding and implementation at country level

8. Accelerated Data Program (ADP) On-going and planned activities Paris21 Steering Committee meeting, Paris, June 4, 2009

9. IHSN and ADP Will keep expanding (high demand) –Expect 70 countries or more by end 2010 –Expansion mostly in Eastern-Europe/Central Asia, Pacific, Caribbean –Also specific program on population censuses (w/ UNPD, Hewlett Foundation), food security and vulnerability surveys (w/ WFP), health facility surveys (w/ IHFAN) –May work with ICP Focus on more open access to data Task 1 – Data documentation and dissemination

10. IHSN and ADP Demand for microdata in Nigeria Nigeria on-line survey databank - Number of downloads of data (two surveys) in 3 months, by origin of request University of Ibadan InteSOL Centre for Management Development (CMD) BUK GISKONSULT Hidden Wisdom Obafemi Awolowo University University of Agriculture, Abeokuta Abu Zaria CBN F.U.T Minna Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Water Resources FMAWR IMBL International Food Policy Research Institute Kogi State University National Bureau of Statistics, Calabar Data users in Nigeria   Total: 89 downloads

11. IHSN and ADP Task 2 – Improve data quality Analysis, assessment and harmonization Piloted in Cameroon (education, with UNESCO) and Nigeria (water & sanitation, with WHO-JMP) Next: consumption data (with ICP) Demand from: –Data producers Reconcile conflicting national estimates Improve quality of future surveys (harmonization) Improve/clarify international estimates (MDG monitoring) –Data users

12. IHSN and ADP Task 2 in Nigeria – Improving data on water and sanitation Official MDG estimates were based on 3 surveys. ADP Task 1 made 6 more surveys available. ADP Task 2 used them to assess and improve estimates. Demographic & Health Survey 1990 Demographic & Health Survey 1999 Child Labor Survey 2000 Demographic & Health Survey 2003 Living Standards Survey 2004 General Household Survey 2006 Core Welfare Indicators 2006 Multiple Indicator Cluster S. 2007 Sector Baseline Survey 2008 Population & Housing Census 2006

13. IHSN and ADP Problem: all surveys collected data differently

14. IHSN and ADP National workshop organized by National Statistics Bureau with participation of all concerned agencies –Participation of DFID, PARIS21, WB, WHO Availability of well documented microdata allowed assessment and reconciliation of data New and comparable estimates were produced, which give a completely different picture for Nigeria (and for Africa) Standard questions and classifications were proposed for future surveys Data reconciliation workshop

15. IHSN and ADP Access to water in rural Nigeria New estimates and a new trend

16. IHSN and ADP Task 2 in Cameroon– Improving consistency of education data Initial situation: conflicting estimates from 5 education ministries (administrative data) and NSO (survey data) ADP Task 1 implemented by ministries and NSO; willingness to harmonize (NSDS); UNESCO agreed to help Data sharing between NSO and ministries  education indicators calculated from surveys, compared with administrative sources. Harmonization made difficult because of non-availability of 2003 population census data. Improved questionnaires from ministries; used international classifications on education and occupation (SCED / ISCO) Data collection starting this year will generate comparable and more relevant indicators

17. IHSN and ADP Replicating these experiences “Packaging” the concepts –Generic technical guidelines, TORs, budget, calendar for easy re-use Desk work to identify countries where impact would be highest Propose the package to interested countries and sponsors; ADP to provide support only if/where needed Develop similar pilots for other sectors

18. International Household Survey Network (IHSN) On-going and planned activities Paris21 Steering Committee meeting, Paris, June 4, 2009

19. IHSN and ADP IHSN activities 2006-2009 Tools and guidelines for data archiving –IHSN Microdata Management Toolkit (documentation and cataloguing using DDI standard) –Dissemination policy guidelines (inspired by Canada DLI and UNECE work) –Used by ADP Survey catalog: 3,700 surveys/censuses –Helped identify sources of data for multiple purposes (ILO, JMP, ICP, IFC, others) Logbook for Survey Managers (inspired by DESAP) Question Bank: an on-line repository of survey guidelines

20. IHSN and ADP IHSN Question-Bank: indicators, questions and classifications

21. IHSN and ADP IHSN activities for 2009-2012 Further develop and maintain existing tools and guidelines New products: –Question Bank –Anonymization software –Guidelines on digital data/metadata preservation –Guidelines on data assessment, harmonization, and analysis Develop training programs for statistics schools (SIAP, ENSEA, IFORD, CEPED, others), and self-learning materials

22. IHSN and ADP Conclusions Strong demand for ADP support and IHSN products Strengths: –Introduced academic best practices and standards in official statistics –Works with many and diverse partners (statisticians, but also data librarians, academia, IT experts) ADP increasingly a “global partnership” Strong and increased support from WB (commitment from senior management) Need more staff and diversify sources of funding
