REPORTING ON SUPPORT TO STATISTICS
FASDEV meeting,
Cape Town
17 January 2012
What is the PRESS?
The PRESS
• Consistent with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and its call for aligned and harmonized aid to developing countries, the PRESS provides :
a tool for improved collaboration among providers of development co-operation supporting statistical development
a snapshot of ongoing statistical support reported by partners, answering the questions of who, what, where and how much ?
The PRESS aims to
• Learn what development partners are doing in the statistical field and identify countries or areas of statistics in need of more support.
• Offer this information to financial and technical partners responsible for giving aid and to countries receiving it.
• Raise the profile of statistics within the overall context of aid to developing countries.

From PRESS to CRESS
From PRESS to CRESS
Reminder: Based on the PRESS experience conducted at the international level, PARIS21 has launched a pilot exercise named CRESS (Country Report on Support to Statistics) at the country level.
The CRESS is a country-led exercise to gather all data relating to the funding of the entire NSS whether deriving from national resources or donor support.
CRESS Objectives
The CRESS should help:• inform policymakers and financial and technical partners
(FTPs) of the volume of support to statistics;• provide information useful to strengthening and improving
co-ordination;• identify the needs in terms of financing statistics including
statistical capacity development; • monitor the financing of FTPs; and • serve as an important input into NSDS design/updating.
The ultimate objective is to improve efficiency of the NSS through a better co-ordination and better information sharing.
Piloting the CRESS
Current work:
•Pilots in Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Malawi.
•Senegal is conducting a full PER on statistics (with WB support). PARIS21 advising on CRESS component.
•Secretariat providing concept note, template questionnaire, guidance, database development.
•Results in early 2012.
