| Project Detail |
The objective of the Quality Data for Decision Making Project for Niger is to improve the quality, availability and use of macroeconomic and sector statistics. There are three components to the project, the first component being improvement in data quality and use. This component includes five subcomponents: economic statistics and call center, agriculture statistics, planning and finance statistics, performance incentives for data quality, and use of data and demand-side strengthening. The second component is the modernization and professionalization of NSS. This component includes three subcomponents: Institutional Reforms, HR Development, and ICT and Equipment. Finally, the third component is the project management and coordination. The INS will be the main implementing agency of the project and thus responsible for its overall management. The INS with its current existing staff has the capacity to implement the project. In addition, the INS’s existing remuneration scale is competitive to attract qualified staff for project implementation. To effectively support the agency, a project management team (PMT), consisting of a project coordinator (the DG of the INS), a financial specialist, and a procurement specialist who are staff of the INS, will be established to perform daily project administrative work |
