The paper takes a critical eye to the use and sustainability of data portal creation and usage in National Statistical Offices and their role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using quantitative methods to evaluate data dissemination tactics and qualitative research to review the decision making processes behind the creation of the data portals, using Sub-saharan African countries as case studies.
The paper provides an overview of the various capacity building strategies developed by IOM for the management of climate-induced migration. The tools outlined include: (1) Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Training Manual (Facilitator's Guide); (2) Training Workshops on Migration, Environment and Climate Change; and (3) Key Documents on Migration, Environment and Climate Change.
The handbook gives recommendations on how governments can collect migration data. It offers brief summaries of key concepts and challenges when analysing the field, and includes detailed chapters on specific methodologies (such as using censuses or administrative data). Included in the chapters are templates for each method, such as sample survey modules. A glossary of terms and a long list of references are great for ensuring familiarity with the topic.
Available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, this report examines the role of the data revolution in aiding national and regional development, with a special focus on the role of national statistical offices in developing countries at providing the ‘right data’ to the ‘right people’ in the ‘right format.’ National Statistical Systems (NSS) are crucial to generating the data needed to promote development and reduce poverty and to monitor international development goals.
