Thank you to everyone for responding to the Data Integration Capacity Assessment Survey!   

In June 2020, the Data Integration Community of Practice agreed to design and conduct the survey, based on a UNECE survey, to gather information on data integration strategies, challenges, and projects in National Statistics Offices and related organisations in the Asia and the Pacific region.  The survey was designed in July and Aug. and released on 09 Sep.

The results will be used to inform where we should concentrate capacity building activities.  The results show that there is:

  • a lot of expertise in the region
  • a lot of interest in developing more expertise
  • an opportunity to share approaches and strategies
  • there are interesting areas for collaboration – including cooperation agreements, record linkage techniques, statistical matching methods and addressing common barriers
  • a lot of aspiration for using more Data Integration in our statistical production
  • a strong role for using data integration to improve or develop SDG indicators
  • many different tools are being used
  • strong expertise in managing quality issues.

You can see more information about the results here.

If you haven’t yet completed the survey or you wish to submit a case study for the community, you can submit a form here.  (All questions are optional!)
