Description: The side-event was organized by UNODC. UNSD was asked to present on Modalities of data sharing arrangements around use of administrative data. The side event discussed how to harness administrative data for crime and criminal justice statistics. Law enforcement, courts, prosecution offices, prison administrations, customs authorities and other actors involved in the criminal justice sector all collect, or have the opportunity to collect, large swaths of administrative data that can assist in improving our understanding of the dynamics of (transnational) crime and the effectiveness of operations. For this administrative data to be suitable for statistical purposes, however, it is vital that statistical concepts and methodologies are applied consistently to ensure data comparability. The webinar also included presentations from countries on their experience in using administrative data for crime and criminal justice statistics as well as presentation from international agencies on some tools at the disposal of countries to facilitate its work. UNSD has added the webinar to the pages of the Collaborative on administrative data here.

Description: During this Global Network Webinar Vibeke Oestreich Nielsen (UNSD), Karen Bett (Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data), Omurbek Ibraev (National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic), and Federico Segui (National Statistical Institute of Uruguay) presented on the Collaborative on Use of Administrative Data for Statistics: a group focused on practical experience sharing and learning. Administrative data collected by governments and service providers in the course of their day-to-day business is an increasingly important source for the production of official statistics. There is an urgent need to strengthen the capacity of national statistical systems to leverage the use of administrative data for statistical purposes, in order to fill gaps in the data available to policy and decision makers to monitor progress and implement the 2030 Agenda, and to address to emerging challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Responding to this challenge, the United Nations Statistics Division and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data have jointly convened a multi-stakeholder collaborative of countries and regional and international agencies, aimed to strengthen the capacity of countries to use administrative data sources for statistical purposes.
Title in Arabic: استخدام السجلات الادارية كمصادر للبيانات الخاصة بالقطاع الزراعي
Organizer(s): AITRS
Description: تعتبر السجلات الإدارية أحد مصادر البيانات المعتمدة في التعداد الزراعي او المسوح الزراعية إذا كانت ذات جودة عالية ومكتملة من ناحية التغطية والشمول على مستوى المنطقة الجغرافية او على مستوى المحاصيل والحيازة. ويذهب كثير من الاحصائيين الى ان السجلات الإدارية غير مناسبة في حالات كثيرة بسبب كونها غير مهيأة للاحتياجات الإحصائية حيث من المحتمل ان تكون المعطيات المتوفرة لا يمكن استخدامها احصائيا. وفي حال اتخاذ القرار باستخدام المصادر الإدارية عند تنفيذ الانشطة الإحصائية الزراعية يجب اولا تقييم جودتها من حيث الملائمة والدقة والموثوقية ومستوى الاكتمال والاتساق وقابلية المقارنة والتوقيت المناسب والاتاحة. يطرح استخدام السجلات الإدارية كمصدر للبيانات الزراعية بعض الإشكاليات الفنية المرتبطة أساسا بالجودة والموثوقية باعتبار ان المعلومات لا تجمع لغايات إحصائية في الأساس وتستهدف جمهورا محدداً قصد استغلالها في اعداد تقارير النشاط او متابعة كيفية إنجازه. الا ان استعمال المصادر الإدارية في العمل الاحصائي قد تطور بشكل سريع في اتجاه تحسين جودتها واستجابتها للمعايير الإحصائية المتعارف عليها خاصة مع تطور ادماج وسائل الاتصال الحديثة في كامل سلسلة العمل الاحصائي. لذا، يعقد المعهد العربي للتدريب والبحوث الإحصائية والمنظمة العربية للتنمية الزراعية هذه الورشة للتعرف على الإشكاليات المطروحة من خلال استخدام السجلات الإدارية في الإحصاءات الزراعية، ومناقشة أسس وطبيعة هذه السجلات المستخدمة في المؤسسات المعنية بهدف حسن تطبيقها.

The Café discussed how Bhutan, Cambodia, and Myanmar make use of this powerful data source and how others may replicate their experiences. Sharing their experiences and perspectives, the session explored questions such as: What can and what cannot be measured with administrative data? Should added use of admin data be part of a strategy to minimize surveys and censuses? Advancing the use of administrative data for official statistics: What is the recipe for success? This is the third Stats Café showcasing outcomes from the Regional Programme for Economic Statistics (RPES).
