Need to organise and plan the work of the NSS
Different language between user and producer
Need to manage the demand and see which demand is priority
Dissemination too slow
How to maintain robust traditional sources while bringing
new sources for faster release and analysis
How to enter in agreement with producers of non-traditional
data?
Dynamic and flexible statistical legislation
With which new sources should we start?
Official/traditional producers risk to be left behind
High staff turn over in NSS
Limited resources of NSS
Proposed Strategies (short to medium
and medium to long term)
• Define and prioritize the users (ST)
• Setting up advisory meetings with data users, as
part of the NSDS (on going)
• Funding strategy (donors ST and government LT)
• Partner with new actors, users
• Media training
• User able to assess quality of data (data literacy)
• MoUs with private producers
• MoUs with academia
• Process for user feedback
Implementation methods

between new data sources producers and NSOs
• TT Compile best practices from countries, and share
them, prior to the 2018 Board meeting
• Identify and analyse new data sources
• List of references, papers, on the use of new data
sources
• Analyse costs aspects in the use of new data sources
• Advocacy for funding, legislation, use, etc.
• Leadership training to develop competences in a
