Sustain the achievements
Ensure continuity of capacities, tools, infrastructure and data products after project closure.
Challenges & outlook
Sustain achievements and prepare the future
PHASAO has laid solid foundations. The challenge now is to consolidate achievements, sustainably modernise practices and mobilise a new stage for the National Statistical System.
Priorities
Four priorities for the next step
The next stage should turn project achievements into permanent, funded capacities embedded in institutional practices.
Modernise production
Continue the digital transformation: mobile collection, Big Data, artificial intelligence, dissemination platforms and open data.
Mobilise PHASAO 2
Prepare new financing to extend, consolidate and scale up the programme’s results.
Support the NSDS and NDP
Support the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics and the monitoring needs of the National Development Plan.
Challenges
Conditions for sustainability
Sustainability depends on clear governance, effective maintenance, available skills and continuous demand for quality data.
Maintain equipment
Plan the budgets, contracts and skills needed to maintain digital and regional infrastructure.
Institutionalise standards
Embed standards, protocols, reference frameworks and quality practices in the day-to-day operation of the National Statistical System.
Respond to data demand
Adapt statistical production to the growing needs of public policies, territories, the private sector and citizens.
Roadmap
A consolidation pathway
The next step can be organised around three movements: consolidate, expand and institutionalise innovations.
- 01
Short term Consolidate achievements
Complete ongoing operations, secure equipment, document procedures and stabilise dissemination platforms.
- 02
Medium term Expand use
Deploy good practices in regional directorates, strengthen professional skills and connect more administrative sources.
- 03
Long term Institutionalise modernisation
Embed innovations in the NSDS, the NDP and national budgets to reduce dependence on one-off financing.
Advocacy
A programme to extend
PHASAO achievements call for a new step. Additional financing and a consolidation phase would sustainably strengthen the National Statistical System and respond to the growing demand for reliable data.
“The architecture is in place. The next mandate is to make it evolve.”
