Background
  • In February 2006, the University of the
    Philippines Statistical Center Research
    Foundation Inc.(UPSCRFI),the research foundation
    of the School of Statistics of the UP School of
    Statistics, started the project of writing a
    training manual on the MDGs for the National
    Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)

4
Background
  • This was under the NSCB UNDP-assisted project
    entitled Statistical Capacity Building for
    Upgrading Statistical Capacities of the MDG Data
    Sources and Stakeholders to Generate, Validate
    and Update MDG Indicators at the National and
    Local Levels Phase 1,

5
Background
  • The authors were Dr. Lisa Grace S. Bersales, Dr.
    Erniel B. Barrios, and Prof. Josefina V. Almeda
    of the UP School of Statistics
  • The training manual is entitled A Guide to the
    Assessment and Dissemination of the Millennium
    Development Goals Indicators
  • Its pilot draft was finished in October 2006
  • It is scheduled for pilot testing in the regions

6
Objectives of the Manual
  • To strengthen the capacity of data source
    agencies in the regular monitoring, maintenance,
    reporting and dissemination of the MDG
    Indicators
  • To provide illustrations on how stakeholders
    could use MDG indicators in the formulation of
    policies and determination of interventions in
    support of meeting the MDGs and,
  • To assist in the efforts of the Philippine
    Statistical System in improving statistics it
    produces for monitoring the achievement of the
    MDGs.

7
Target Participants
  • Technical staff from data source agencies
    responsible for the data inputs to the MDG
    indicators (NSCB, NSO, BSP, BAS, CHED, DepEd,
    DSWD, DOH,etc)
  • Planning officers of agencies responsible for
    developing programs to achieve the MDGs (NEDA,
    planning staff of line agencies and local
    government units)

8
Prerequisites for the Training
  • The modules are ordered such that the previous
    module is a prerequisite to the next.
  • For Module 1, the prerequisite is knowledge of
    Excel and an editor such as WORD.

9
Teaching Methods
  • Lectures/Discussions
  • Case studies
  • Computer hands-on sessions
  • Group workshops and presentations

Module 1 Introduction to the Millennium Development Goals and their Indicators To present the MDGs and the MDG indicators-their measurement, data requirements, data sources and their topics related to computing for them.
Module 2 Effective Ways of Analyzing and Presenting the MDG Indicators To discuss and practice appropriate statistical tools of effectively presenting the indicators.
Module 3 Maintenance and Updating the MDG Metadata To discuss the importance and the procedures for maintaining and updating the metadata for the MDG Indicators.
Module 4 MDG Indicators for Policy Analysis and Interventions To provide illustrations of the use of MDG Indicators for policy formulation and determination of interventions to achieve the MDGs.

comparing and aggregating progress across
countries in reducing the number or people living
under extreme poverty and for monitoring trends
at the global level. Data Collection and
