Outline of the Presentation i. Role of the National Bureau of Statistics ii. Current Status of the National Approach Towards SDG Monitoring § Source of data related to human settlement; § Challenges from MDG Monitoring; and § Current status. iii. Challenges iv. Way Forward v. Conclusion

Role of the NBS in Relation to SDG Monitoring 1. Coordination Role § Coordinator

Role of the NBS in Relation to SDG Monitoring 1. Coordination Role § Coordinator of the National Statistical System; and § “Coordination” with other stakeholders outside the National Statistical System. 2. Awareness Two SDG workshops have been conducted: § Awareness and ownership among stakeholders (2015); and § Building partnership among stakeholders on the need for developing a National Data Roadmap (2016) 3. Linking SDG with National Development Programmes and other international Agendas e. g. Agenda 2063 -Africa We Want

Source of Data 1. Population Census: After every 10 years Collected information include: §

Source of Data 1. Population Census: After every 10 years Collected information include: § Demographic; § Housing amenities (water, sanitation and energy); § Housing conditions (building materials); and § Security of tenure. 2. Periodic household sample surveys e. g. DHS, Income and Expenditure Surveys, Panel Surveys etc. ; 3. Administrative Records: Others Government Ministries, Departments, UN –Organizations etc. (including UNHABITAT).

Publications related to Human Settlement Indicators 1. Basic Facts and Figures on Human Settlements

Publications related to Human Settlement Indicators 1. Basic Facts and Figures on Human Settlements § Overview of Human Settlements; § Population Dynamics, Land Use; § Housing Characteristics and Facilities; § Infrastructure and Services; § Good Governance and Accountability (crime, accidents statistics); § Safe Cities Publication is updated regularly depending on availability of new data. 2. Some information on human settlement is published in each census/survey report.

Challenges from 2015 MDG Monitoring § Data Gaps: Non-availability of data for some indicators

Challenges from 2015 MDG Monitoring § Data Gaps: Non-availability of data for some indicators (especially at lower levels); § Frequency (long interval) of data collection from surveys constrained tracking of progress; § Capacity of national statistical office to collect, analyse and disseminate information lacked in some cases; § The statistical capacity for effective monitoring of MDGs, establishing statistical standards and ensuring quality generally lacked; § MDGs failed to serve as a management tool and as a report card. This was a result of data coming with huge lag.

Current Status of the National Approach Towards SDGs Monitoring 1. Map data ecosystem §

Current Status of the National Approach Towards SDGs Monitoring 1. Map data ecosystem § Tanzania Data Report: Assessment of Tanzania Data Ecosystem in connection with SDG implementation and monitoring § Establish current data gaps; § Mapping of stakeholders. § Development of a Work plan; and § Budget for data production for the coming 15 years. 2. Linkage (mainstreaming) with National Development Programme & International Agendas § Five Year National Development Plan; and § Africa Development Agenda 2063.

Current Status …. . Cont’d 3. Mapping exercise: Use of Advanced Data Planning Tool

Current Status …. . Cont’d 3. Mapping exercise: Use of Advanced Data Planning Tool – ADAPT: Mapping of available data Main Observations § Some indicators overlap with Tanzania Dev. Vision of 2025, § Some indicators go beyond the Tanzania Dev. Vision of 2025. § NSS has capacity to monitor some of the indicators; and § Other indicators need considerable technical and financial support 4. Establishment of thematic SDG data working groups 5. NBS in collaboration with Ministry of Lands and Human Settlements and Local Government is planning to conduct a survey on Housing Profile in Tanzanian cities and towns.

Current Status …. . Cont’d 5. Development of SDG and National Development Programme Platform

Current Status …. . Cont’d 5. Development of SDG and National Development Programme Platform § Making data more easily accessible for government, development partners and civil society § Enable collaboration with different stakeholders around data generation NBS is developing a strong SDGs monitoring platform based on open data, which will quickly show data gaps and implementation challenges.

Current Status …. . Cont’d Achievements (Open Data Platform) § The Open Data management

Current Status …. . Cont’d Achievements (Open Data Platform) § The Open Data management guideline in place § Establishment of open data portal (www. opendata. go. tz), Water, Heath and Education Sector § 100 approved datasets published in the portal § Provision of technical and data dive training § Draft Open Data Policy and Implementation Strategy in place

Challenges: Monitoring of SDGs 1. Data issues: timeliness, disaggregation and methodological issues § §

Challenges: Monitoring of SDGs 1. Data issues: timeliness, disaggregation and methodological issues § § § 3. Timeliness: Some information e. g. from the Census updated after 10 years; Disaggregation: This is going to be a major issues especially at subnational level; and Methodological issues: unclear methodology and concept for some indicators. National Priorities Vs International Development Agenda § SDGs indicators that do not map one-to-one with National development programmes are going to pose a special challenge. 4. Multiple systems for follow-up, monitoring and evaluation 5. Mobilisation of Financial Resources to fill data gaps 6. Inadequate Decentralization and Localization of National Priorities

Conclusion and Way Forward § Strengthen routine data collection, analysis and dissemination; § Transformation

Conclusion and Way Forward § Strengthen routine data collection, analysis and dissemination; § Transformation Agenda: Use of big data to complement other traditional sources; § Capacity strengthening in Data Management, curation and dissemination for MDAs and Local Government Authorities; § Strengthen partnership between traditional and non-traditional producers of statistics; and § Raise awareness among sector stakeholders about SDGs and what exactly is to be monitored.

Conclusion and Way Forward § Monitoring of SDGs cannot be done by National Statistical

Conclusion and Way Forward § Monitoring of SDGs cannot be done by National Statistical Offices alone; § New data sources need to be explored to fill data need and gaps; § Capacity building at NSO and other key players – traditional and non-traditional – is essential for effective monitoring; § Vast amount of data is needed which means that huge amount of resources are needed for data collection.
