| Summary: | The Marrakesh action plan for statistics
(MAPS) was created in 2004 as an important component of an
informal partnership whose main goal is to help develop and
strengthen national statistical systems through six specific
actions with target dates aiming to prepare the way for
sustainable improvement in statistical capacity. The
objectives of the evaluation are: (i) to assess the
effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the five
partnership programs; (ii) to assess the extent to which
MAPS actions remains relevant to the statistical capacity;
and (iii) to provide guidance on how support for statistical
capacity can be strengthened and made more effective under
the Busan action plan for statistics. This report presents
the results of a light evaluation of the partnership effort
between the World Bank, through the development grant
facility (DGF), and a number of key agencies involved in the
building of statistical capacity in developing countries
under the MAPS. This evaluation covers the five largest
partnership programs which include the international
household survey network (IHSN), the accelerated data
program (ADP), the preparation of national strategies for
the development of statistics (NSDSs), the urgent
improvement in key statistics, including gender statistics
and the support given to countries to participate in the
2010 census round. |
