Burkina Faso Statistical support 2012-2015 - New statistical support 2012-2015 Burkina Faso Statistikstöd 2012-2015 The goal is to participate in the further development of a            sustainable statistical system in Burkina Faso. The project is a      continuation of the first phase which took place 2008-2012. The       statistics made available aims to fill the national need for          information on developments in various sectors, and provide values    for monitoring trends in poverty reduction. Målet med projektet är att delta i den fortsatta utvecklingen av ett  hållbart statistiskt system i Burkina Faso. Detta projekt är en       fortsättning av den första fasen som genomfördes 2008-2012. Den       statistik som tillgängliggörs ska fylla det nationella                informationsbehovet om utvecklingen inom olika sektorer samt erbjuda  mätvärden för att följa utvecklingen av fattigdomsbekämpningen. The project objective is to contribute to the development of a sustainable statistical system in Burkina Faso that facilitates decision-making based on relevant and reliable statistical information that meet domestic demands, supports the implementation and the monitoring of the national development programme e.g. the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (SCADD) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
The project specific objectives are to assist in the development of prioritised statistics (economics, social and environment), to reinforce the general statistical capacities and IT system at the Institute and in the NSS which will lead to the production of statistics that will to a greater extent satisfy the national and international needs.
More specifically, a large part of the assistance is dedicated towards the development of the continuous multipurpose survey (MCS), the improvement of management techniques and the tools and the harmonisation of IT infrastructures at the Institute. The development of the statistical business register and improvement of gender, demographic and environmental statistics have also been perceived as important development key areas.
Other components are related to the general capacity building such as trainings in the English language, IT and statistical software, report writing/presentation and in survey methodology. INSD’s regional offices will also be assisted during the Project period.
