Abstract:
The PSDP 2001-2017 is the eighth edition to be formulated for the PSS. Since 1976, the PSS, spearheaded by then Statistical Coordination Office of the National Economic and Development Authority and by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) starting 1987, has been conducting medium-term programming of activities to set the directions, thrusts, and priorities of the PSS towards integrating the statistical activities of the government. Over the years, the PSDP has become an important component of the national development agenda. The PSDP has been an essential and indispensable tool for evidence-based decision making and policy formulation by various stakeholders.
Long before the international development community finally recognized the importance of having national statistical plans to develop the capacity of national statistical systems, the PSS has been crafting our very own PSDP. Recently, the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21) and other development agencies such as the World Bank have started to advocate the design, implementation, and monitoring of National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), the equivalent of our PSDP. We are now into our eighth version of the PSDP while most countries are just coming up with their first, or with their first update.
