| Summary: | Since its launch in January 2017 at
the first UN World Data Forum in South Africa, and its
formal adoption by the United Nations Statistical Commission
at its forty-eighth session in March 2017, the Cape Town
Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data (CTGAP)
has provided a framework for planning and implementing the
statistical capacity building activities needed to achieve
the scope and intent of the 2030 agenda for sustainable
development, and to mobilize funding for the modernization
of national statistical systems across the world. However,
when the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the world in
early 2020, national statistical authorities and the
international statistical community inevitably shifted their
attention to the immediate challenge of ensuring the
continuity of the most basic statistical operations, and to
addressing new, urgent data demands. As a consequence,
significant resources were diverted away from longer-term
initiatives aimed at achieving the shared goals crystallized
in the commitment and vision of the CTGAP. This report
presents the results of a survey conducted by the World
Bank, the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), and
PARIS21, with the aim to inform actions by decision makers
and international partners to implement, monitor, and
finance the CTGAP. This last survey was launched with the
purpose of seeing beyond the immediate crisis, and to ensure
that the current constraints do not distract attention from
the common goals enshrined in the 2030 agenda for
sustainable development and the implementation of the CTGAP. |
