The TA Project will look into the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools such as Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) in improving the data collection methods of National Statistical Systems in selected DMCs. It will utilize a sum of USD 700,000 to help deliver the project outcome which is to incorporate the usage of ICT tools in national-level surveys providing quality and timely statistics useful to track the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

| Description | The TA Project will look into the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools such as Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) in improving the data collection methods of National Statistical Systems in selected DMCs. It will utilize a sum of USD 700,000 to help deliver the project outcome which is to incorporate the usage of ICT tools in national-level surveys providing quality and timely statistics useful to track the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Monitoring the progress towards achieving the outcomes of international development initiatives through the SDGs will depend significantly on the availability of timely and high-quality statistics. Considering the scope and the extent of the SDGs, demand for disaggregated statistics from national surveys will intensify not only in terms of availability, but also in accuracy and timeliness. The governments and the National Statistics System (NSS) of countries will be expected to meet this increased demand, despite limitations on existing statistical capacities and availability of resources. CAPI will support the DMCs in its data collection and management in a more efficient way compared to the practice of using Paper-and-Pencil Interviewing (PAPI). | ||||
| Impact | The coverage, quality, and timeliness of statistical indicators produced by the national statistical systems of DMCs participating in the TA activities improved through technological improvements in field data collection methods for nationally representative surveys linked to the SDGs | ||||
