  1. Building Sustainable Statistical Capacity for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs30th CCSA session Muscat, 27-28 Sep. 2017 Presentation by The Arab Institute for Training and Research in Statistics (AITRS)

  2. Who is AITRS ? • AITRS is an Arab organization with a legal entity and financial and administrative independence. • AITRS has a Board of Trustees composed of the heads of national statistical offices of the 22 Arab member countries. • The Board of Trustees discusses and endorses AITRS  annual programs, plans, activities and budget.

  3. Action Steps and Procedures Nov. 2016, A Board of Trustees requested the Institute's administration to study and prepare a plan for how AITRS will help NSOs respond to the requirements of measuring the quantitative indicators of the 2030 agenda and SDG’s

  4. Action Steps and Procedures • After studying the indicators, it was found that 173 indicators are quantitative which need data to be statistically measured. • The rest of the indicators are qualitative that do not require data to be statistically measured.

  5. Action Steps and Procedures • AITRS sent a questionnaire to the Arab NSOs with an Arabic list of the 173 quantitative indicators. • The NSOs were asked to answer four simple questions for each quantitative indicator.

  6. Action Steps and Procedures These questions are: • Is the indicator clear or not? • Is the responsibility of the NSOs regarding each indicator total or partial? • Do NSOs need training or consultation regarding each indicator? • Is the training priority of the indicator high or medium? • The results of this survey will assist AITRS in reviewing its capacity-building work plan that be submitted to the Board of Trustees at its annual regular session in November 2017.

  7. Action Steps and Procedures • Internal analysis of the SDGs • Since the large number of indicators are distributed by 17 goals, it had to be carefully reviewed. • AITRS suggests categorizing them into specific domains in order to identify the training topics as well as determining how each indicator intersects with domains and goals. • The analysis found that the quantitative indicators can be collapsed into the following 14 topics:

  8. Suggested Domains • Population and their characteristics • Residential areas, buildings, basic facilities and infrastructure • Poverty and Social and basic services • Agriculture, nutrition and land tenure and use • Industry, technology, communications and information • Climate, environment and natural disasters • Trade, transport and banks • Macroeconomics and finance • Health and disability • Education and research • Gender, time use and violence • Water, energy and sanitation • Employment, income and expenditure • Justice, security and public institutions.

  9. Distribution of indicators by domains and goals

  10. AITRSTraining Plan for 2018-2019 • Based on the above steps and analyzes, AITRS work plan for the next two years will include seven activities each year, half of which will be face to face and half will be e-learning. • AITRS will bear the cost of training participants from Arab NSOs, while cooperating regional and international organizations can bear the cost of experts and participants from outside the NSOs.

  11. AITRS Workshops Program (2018-2019) for SDG’s 2030

  12. Recommendations • The Arab NSOs need to adapt and adjust their action plans to meet the increasing demand for SDGs related data. • AITRS mandate limits its capacity building work to the 22 Arab NSOs; expanding its work to include other Arab official organizations requires more resources and support from regional and international donor agencies. • Finally, AITRS looks forward for a wide cooperation / coordination with the regional and international agencies to overcome its limited resources available for capacity building of Arab NSOs.
