10. The Good (the principles) Increased knowledge Raising visibility of statistical support, identifying gaps Rationalising scarce resources

11. The Good (the practice) Increased knowledge – how?  For all internal reporting exercises, eg European Commission’s Joint Annual Reviews - screen shots, pdfs and links to PRESS sent to EU delegations and country desks

12. The Good (the practice) Increased visibility – how?  Illustrates specific statistics at work: who, where, what and how – helps programming

13. The Good (the practice) Increased efficiency – how?  Efficiency: internal knowledge database set up which answers our major reporting needs

14. The Bad (shoot out) Not all donors report There may be double counting or over/under estimation Classification too detailed Future activities unreliable PRESS – “not another form to fill”

15. The Bad (solutions) Not all donors report  Show value of reporting - results and self interest

16. The Bad (solutions) Double counting or over/under estimation  Change mindset: activities are a major, the funding a minor component

17. The Bad (solutions) Classification too detailed  Project managers should complete classification

18. The Bad (solutions) Future activities unreliable  Transparency paramount to allow planning and programming coordination

19. The Bad (solutions) PRESS – “not another form to fill”  Integrate PRESS reporting into a system which meets your other reporting needs. E-questionnaire and e-extraction will help.

20. The Ugly (sour grapes) We can’t do it! It isn’t used! It overlaps with … (another system)!

21. The Ugly (reminders) We can’t do it!  PRESS endorsed by multi-lateral donors and CCSA. If the European Commission can, so can you!

22. The Ugly (reminders) It isn’t used!  One of the biggest donors is attempting to respect the Paris Declaration principles

23. The Ugly (reminders) It overlaps with … (another system)!  No other system gives such detailed information on statistical activities
