Our establishment of a Statistics and Surveys Unit was compelled by the need to establish robust data systems for the Center’s work, including the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS); and offer technical assistance to external partners in data collection, processing and analysis, including impact evaluation.
We are now positioned as a source of high quality data with expertise in data collection, documentation and analysis. The Unit is leading efforts to enhance data discoverability and promote responsible data sharing, and coordinates our participation in the iSHARE data-sharing portal initiative led by the INDEPTH Network. Our own urban health statistics platform provides one-stop access to key indicators about urban populations in Africa.
The Unit is contributing to the expansion of the Center’s regional footprint. Its work as part of the Data for African Development expert working group that explored the root causes of slow data progress in Africa, involved
strong regional and global partnerships and resulted in specific, actionable recommendations for strengthening national data systems in Africa. More needs to be done to implement these recommendations, specifically with
regard to strengthening national and sub-national data systems to support more effective evidence-informed decision-making.
Our quest for data discoverability continues with an enhanced data visualization platform as well as assignment of digital object identifiers to our publicly shared research products.
Data and measurement will be an institutional signature issue and the Unit, with an expanded mandate to promote the field of measurement, will focus on three key areas:
