Data and Challenges

The importance of data at the regional level:

Provides more accurate results compared to averages at the national level.

Helps to draft and implement appropriate region–specific policies for

economic and social issues.

Challenges in Indicator Calculation

Human Resources challenges: availability of expertise capable of data

collection, calculation and analysis of indicators.

Availability of modernized, accurate, merged and overarching databases.

Develop a framework for coordination between the concerned authorities

to efficiently implement as allowing for the implementation of these

goals more efficiently.

Take advantage of the indicators in identifying gaps, assessing needs,

setting priorities and drafting policies.

The Way Forward

Holding intensive workshops between the different society actors (including civil

society, private sector, government representatives, experts and academics) to

discuss the indicators and integration mechanisms into the planning and monitoring

system.

Holding specialized training courses to prepare expertise capable of data collection

and indicators calculation and analysis.

Agreeing on data requirements, collection methodology and the role of agencies.

Providing funding and technical assistance from international institutions.

The development of a national action plan for data collection and indicators

assessment, including a matrix of responsibilities and timeframe. In addition to, the

agreement on the reports (content, methodology and periodicity).

Agreeing on a unified Arab stance and the exchange of regional experiences,

information and resources.
