A joint UN programme is in place to support the Government of Comoros in fully harnessing the power of data revolution to efficiently monitor key indicators of development and enable informed and timely decision-making to reduce the country's vulnerabilities, accelerate the achievement of the SDGs aligned with the Comoros Emerging Plan by 2030, and support a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous country.
An updated and improved institutional framework and operational capacity of the national statistical system to allow the capture of up to 70% of key SDGs targets prioritized at the national level.
Improved regular and reliable production and accessibility of a set of relevant multi-sectoral indicators and functionalities in a digital repository with an open data portal for monitoring the Comoros Emerging Plan and the SDGs by 2023.
Use of quality, disaggregated and up-to-date statistical and geospatial data for informed decision making by all actors (Public, Private, CIvil Society and Citizens) in Comoros.
Contribute to developing a "culture of data" among key decision-makers and actors in the Comoros. The high-performance, digitized and accessible national statistical system will capitalize on available and improved data from all stakeholders. The data will be organized around key national multi-sectoral indicators. This integrated vision will contribute to the acceleration of the SDGs, and the mobilization of resources around these priorities at all levels (public, private, civil society). The joint programme will move the national statistical system along a maturity path, from its current nascent stage where there is lack of capacity and systematic processes for data management and use to an optimized performance where the government and stakeholders will routinely review data from the system and modify them to adapt to changing information needs. The proposed programme will bridge data and information gaps in priority areas identified by the country. It will build the human and institutional capabilities to mainstream SDG data across the national statistical system. It will support the creation of an open national SDG data platform based on modern digital technologies and interoperability standards, providing users from different stakeholder groups with access to authoritative, geospatial and statistical data, metadata, as well as visualization and analysis tools to support policy and decision making for sustainable development. In addition, it will strengthen the coordination role of the General Planning Commission on the achievement of the SDGs, and support the coordination and leadership role of the National Institute of Statistics and Economic and Demographic Studies (INSEED) on the statistical work on indicators for global, regional and national monitoring. This will be done through the establishment and coordination of data sharing agreements with key partners and improved SDG data flows among members of the National Statistical and information System.
