  2. Process of MDGs Outcomes on each of the goals Outline

  3. Outline • Introduction • The Role of Statistics South Africa • Approach to 2010 MDG process • Planned MDG Process • Essential Preliminaries • MDG Design (Methodology Workshop) • Data Quality Assessment • Sector Reports • Production of the MDGR • MDGR Validation • MDGR Ratification • MDGR Dissemination

  4. Introduction Millennium Declaration • In September 2000, the world’s leaders signed the Millennium Declaration at the Millennium Summit • The Millennium Declaration promotes basic human rights such as the right to education, health, water, security, and shelter

  5. Background • Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), act as guidelines and indicators for measuring levels of development • Reference period for MDGs 1990 - 2015 • For South Africa, start of reference period is 1994 1994 1997 2000 2003 2005 2007 2009 2012 2015 • Characteristics of MDGs: • Time-bound goals • Quantifiable targets • Internationally agreed upon indicators

  6. The Millennium Development Goals Goal 3: Promote gender equity and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education • Up to January 2008 there were 8 goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators; • There are now 8 goals, 20 targets and 60 indicators Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development Goal 5: Improve maternal health

  7. MDG Process 2007 2008 MDG updates 2005 First MDG Country Report Department of Foreign Affairs Statistics South Africa Focal Point Production Coordinator Submitted Baseline Report Document finalized by The Presidency Lessons MDGR 2005 Shadow Report • MDG Updates: • Credibility (2007, 2008) • CSO participation • Complaints raised: • SANGOCO • SAHRC

  8. Role of Stats SA The coordination of the MDG process Ensure access to data needed to populate indicators Ensure coordination of international partners (UNDP, UNICEF) The coordinator of the National Statistics System (NSS) To counter perception of MDGR being government report Stats SA to be apolitical  neutrality ensured Transparency in choice of data sources Coordinate suppliers of data Quality assess data sources, produce Quality Statement on each Engage civil society organisations (CSOs) Managing the MDG project Serving as the secretariat to the MDGR 2010

  9. Approach to 2010 MDG process • Stats SA to ensure that the following are achieved: • Communication of MDGR activities to all stakeholders • Make MDG relevant to South Africa via – • National Methodology Workshop • Domesticating indicators and setting targets • Provincial MDG workshops • Establishment of MDG Working Committees • Sectoral Working Groups • National Coordinating Committee • ToRs for the committees to guide their function and responsibilities • Appointment of service providerstoserveasthe Report Drafting Team)

  10. Perspectives on Strategy and Progress

  50. MDG process has highlighted the following deficiencies in our distributed statistical system Administrative records systems for producing statistics are still weak To Illustrate: Death Registration (coverage and completeness) Environmental indicators dependent on international agencies’ data MMR: Maternal Mortality registration systems plagued by Plethora of competing sources Sources use competing definitions Producing contradictory estimates NER and GER EMIS data still has quality concerns Age specific population estimates still called into question Assign blame where the numerator & denominator come from differing sources MDG Reporting: Problems
