The objectives of the evaluation are: (i) to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the five partnership programs; (ii) to assess the extent to which MAPS actions remains relevant to the statistical capacity; and (iii) to provide guidance on how support for statistical capacity can be strengthened and made more effective under the Busan action plan for statistics. This report presents the results of a light evaluation of the partnership effort between the World Bank, through the development grant facility (DGF), and a number of key agencies involved in the building of statistical capacity in developing countries under the MAPS. This evaluation covers the five largest partnership programs which include the international household survey network (IHSN), the accelerated data program (ADP), the preparation of national strategies for the development of statistics (NSDSs), the urgent improvement in key statistics, including gender statistics and the support given to countries to participate in the 2010 census round.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOEXTERNAL CONSULTANTHARMONIZATIONMONITORING EVALUATIONNGOCOORDINATION MECHANISMDATA ENTRYDOMAINSDATA PROCESSINGSTATISTICAL SERVICESVIDEO CONFERENCEFEEDBACKCALCULATIONKNOWLEDGE SHARINGELECTRONIC FORMATSIMPLEMENTATION AGENCIESMATERIALSINFORMATION SYSTEMINCOMEMORBIDITYVIDEOFINANCIAL RESOURCESPROGRAMSINFORMATIONSTATISTICAL DATAMONITORINGCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGIESDEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONINFORMATION SHARINGCONSULTANTSIMPACTSCAPACITY BUILDINGPROJECTSPRICELITERACY RATESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTQUALITYBENEFICIARIESINFORMATION SYSTEMSENUMERATIONINSTRUMENTSSATELLITEPOVERTY REDUCTIONHARDWAREBIASESNEW TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONSINSTITUTIONSHUMAN RESOURCELINKDATATECHNICAL ASSISTANCEPERFORMANCE INDICATORSTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCESINTERVENTIONFUNCTIONALITIESTECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTSSAMPLE SURVEYSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESTARGETSINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONMARKETINGCONSULTANTMARKETING STRATEGYWEBHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSLINKSPAYMENT METHODSSTATISTICAL METHODOLOGYACTION PLANLEARNINGINDICATORSRESEARCHMATERIALINTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTSDATA ANALYSISSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTDATABASESINVENTORYMORTALITYALLOCATION OF RESOURCESTELEPHONEUSERSPHONETECHNOLOGYINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSTIME FRAMESAVAILABILITY OF DATAPDFPROCUREMENTREGIONAL STRATEGIESUSABILITYTRANSPARENCYSOFTWAREBEST PRACTICESRESULTSPARTICIPATIONMOBILE PHONEGPSFLEXIBILITYMETADATATECHNICAL ISSUESUSER COMMUNITYFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSTRAINING MANUALQUANTITATIVE METHODSPRIVATE SECTORINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYMEASUREMENTEVALUATION RESULTSQUALITY CONTROLSURVEYSADMINISTRATIONRESULTGOVERNMENT POLICIESICRSECURITYBUSINESSESNETWORKSTATISTICSEVALUATIONRISKHUMAN RESOURCESTRAINING WORKSHOPSELECTRONIC PAYMENTACTION PLANSPOVERTYPERFORMANCEGLOBAL STANDARDGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMINNOVATIONINSTITUTIONSITESFINANCIAL SUPPORTTECHNICAL SUPPORTDEBIT CARDSTATISTICIANSTRAINING MANUALSDATABASECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYTECHNOLOGIESOUTCOMESTARGETPRICESPARTICIPATION RATESUSERWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/22092
