Challenges

Challenges

Health data (all the health centres do no report or increase the number of clients to get bonus).This problem is not yet fixed but the authorities are sensitized and the service in charge is working hard to fix the problem

With the UNSD/DFID project, Burundinfoindicators have metadata and the MDGs has been adapted the national context with the assistance of an international consultant.

However, before publishing any indicator a series of checks have to be done (I mean updating)

Metadata availability

Data dissemination

ISTEEBU publish data from official report collected in the ministries and institutionsIf a data doesn’t have metadata we seat together with the producer and write it if we can get information.ISTEEBU has recruited statisticians to deploy in line ministries and government institutions;

Data dissemination

The NSC has adopted a five year program of data collection for all the NSS;Avery survey has to present its methodology to NSC.

Some data are not published because the metadata are not available (estimated tables from line ministries) or not conform to standards
