TFSCB STATCAP Monitoring systems / Core Welfare
Indicators Questionnaire (CWIQ) Readiness Assessment
2
TFSCB Multi-donor trust fund set up in 1999 Closely coordinated with PARIS21 Goal is to help reduce poverty by
strengthening the evidence-base for decision making at all levels
Shared vision with PARIS21 - to develop effective and efficient national statistical systems and to promote a culture of evidence-based decision-making
3
Focus of Activities Main objective is to strengthen national
statistical systems But also allows for regional and global
actions where these are justified Small grants, maximum of $400,000
with a maximum implementation period of three years
4
TFSCB funded activities can be
Country-specific– NSDS– Support for PRSP monitoring– Improvement in macro/or sectoral statistics;– Improvement of statistical infrastructure– Training
Regional– Workshops, seminars etc, regional
coordination.
Global– Research, PARIS21 initiatives, etc

Project Implementation Preferred model is for country
implementation Statistical agencies gain experience in
project management and implementation
Bank implementation is allowed, but must be justified
For some projects, spilt implementation has worked well
7
Some Outcomes Leverage in projects: donor funds have
been matched by other resources – including scarce resources from recipients
Follow-on investments: TFSCB has stimulated larger investment projects (e.g. Kenya, Burkina Faso, Nigeria)
Leadership: countries are often prepared to fund activities themselves, but look to PARIS21 and TFSCB for technical guidance
8
Some Lessons Linkage of the Trust Fund with a strong global
partnership is vital With small grants, need to focus on those
projects which leverage further investments Need flexibility to respond to priority needs Processes need to be streamlined but must
still be rigorous Need for a good advocacy strategy
9
STATCAP
National statistical systems under pressure– Under-investment and a vicious cycle of
poor performance and inadequate resources
Need to focus on both demand and supply
Need for a long-term approach But focus on results and outputs
10
How will STATCAP work?
A new WB lending instrument for statistical capacity building– System wide or focused on particular areas
An Adaptable Program Loan (APL), based on a sector wide approach– National projects will be phases of the APL– But projects may have several stages
Designed to be a simple, user-friendly lending facility
11
How will STATCAP work?
Based on a Project Appraisal Document (PAD).
PAD will be based on a Statistical Master Plan (SMP) for the country
The SMP will cover the entire national statistical system, even if the project is to finance SCB in only one area
12
Statistical Master Plan
Based on national strategies for statistical development – Identify strengths and weaknesses, – Propose an action plan
Includes– Statistical policy and the regulatory
framework, management and organization– Statistical infrastructure– Statistical operations and procedures– Physical infrastructure and equipment.
13
What will StatCap finance?
Improving statistical policy and regulatory framework
Development of statistical infrastructure Upgrading and developing statistical
operations and procedures Human resource development Investment in physical infrastructure
and equipment
14
Assessing progress
NSDS will set strategic objectives Each stage of country project will have
specific goals and targets Make use of new assessment tools:
– GDDS, DQAF and statistical capacity building indicators

How does a country get started?
Funding – CWIQ Trust Fund– Assistance for pilot & 2 annual national surveys– Part of annual household survey prog.– Covers pilot, TA, equip., dissemination– $400,000 limit
Technical Assistance– Cadre of African consultants– Two regional training centres, EASTC & ENSEA
Product Development– National ‘light’ monitoring survey– Very large samples– Community of practice

Monitoring systems
Lessons learnt• Institutional arrangements are the key but no
blueprint• System should be simple & flexible• Build on existing processes• Ultimate goal is to feed back into policy making
M & E Action Plans for National Strategies
