- Weather
- Gaps in a serie
- Adjustments

5Estimating VS colecting
- Many cases the information was possible to colect
- They had administrative registers
- But, they did not know how because
- High turn over
- Lack of documentation
- There is No systematic process
- Methodology was unknown
- So, we decided to help them and made a process
6How do we integrate MDGs information
Data is produced by INEGI?
Yes
Definition of data
Integrate data
No
- Government Agencies (Ministeries)
- SEP
- SEDESOL
- SENER
- SCT
- SSA
- SEMARNAT
- Etc.
Create Database

Negotiate and Train
Update MDGs Information System
Colect data
Citizens
7Strategy
- How to make them interested in getting the
information - Mexico has a responsibility in the Millenium
Declaration - You already have the information
- You will not have to work more
- I will train you in the methodology
- You will have to pay nothing
- You may take the credit
- Ask for only one person responsible for each
government agency
8Create a Collaborative Environment
- Create a Web environment to collaborate with the
agencies. - Train them in the methodology for collecting
valid and reliable data. - Educate them in developing skills to work within
a Web environment. - Train NSO personel to get and integrate the data
from the Web collaborative environment - Provide feedback to the agencies as soon as it is
appropiate.
9Why a Web Colaborative Environment
- To make them confortable from his office
- To make sure that any mistake can be traced
- To allow them freedom of delivering
- To promote effective organization between the NSO
and the agencies.
10Challenges
- Willingness of top authorities in government
- Culture of politicians that make decisions based
on NOT solid information - Help to other NSOs from the region
- The given up of personal or party interests
- Humbleness to learn from others
