MOVING DATA FOR DEVELOPMENT ONLINE

Advantages at the institutional level: with decreasing demand for printed publications and compilations, publishing electronically reduces printing costs and saves public funds.

Effective communication Cost effective distribution (fast) Appeal to wider audience Redistribution of funds Opportunity for update - understanding and

responding to user needs.

POPULATION SITUATION ANALYSIS (PSA)

UNFPA’s commitment to mainstream population dynamics, reproductive health and gender issues into National Development Strategies.

Basis for an integrated appraisal of the population and reproductive health dynamics and their linkages and impacts on poverty, inequality and development.

By integrating a micro and macro analytical approach, the PSA makes explicit reference to the interactions between individual behaviour and demographic dynamics.

Response to the demand by countries for the promotion of national capacity building and recognition of national ownership and leadership as prerequisites for development.

Through regional consultation 2006 edition was adapted globally in 2010

CONTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION SITUATION ANALYSIS

Tool to create evidence for country programming;

Used within methodological structure for systematic analysis;

Standardized body of methodologies and procedures for comparable results, subject to feasibility, availability of information and capacities;

National priorities serve as a starting point: Country-driven exercise;

Flexible framework with several options that can be tailored to national realities;

CONTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION SITUATION ANALYSIS

Weight given to different issues depending on countries’ priorities;

Analysis subject to availability of data

Every outcome document will reflect national priorities and realities

Capacity development through application;

Integrating the generated knowledge into

policy-making;

Population and Reproductive Health dynamics

Inequalities and the Exercise of Rights

Linkagesand Impacts

Socio-Economic, Political and Institutional Context

ELEMENTS OF THE PSA

POPULATION SITUATION ANALYSIS

Need to reflect national realities and priorities and new emerging issues for analysis as well as constant development of new methodologies, tools and data sources, resulted in the need to lose the static character of the published guide.

PSA WEB PLATFORM

Dynamic and flexible format

Customization of the guide to national realities.

Available in 5 languages

Every application process and outcome document can be country-specific, yet unified by a common methodology and substantive vision.

PoPClimate

POPClimate is a web platform designed to bring together a global community of data practitioners, climate scientists, policy makers and climate change adaptation practitioners around a better understanding of climate vulnerability and adaptation built on spatial analysis of census data.

PoPClimate

Climate change vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning to date has gone in one of two directions 1) highly technical assessments and plans

based on geographic, ecological and infrastructural vulnerability, often relying on significant resources and technical skills; or

2) community-based adaptation, with a strong participatory component but without an effective foundation in data-driven vulnerability assessment.

PoPClimate

Integration of census data using geographic information systems.

Census data are the only comprehensive population data that can be analyzed at small area level, i.e. easy to build base census units into the geographies of climate exposure, including flood plains, sea level rise, agricultural impacts, heat island effects and the like.

Censuses provide information critical for adaptation planning, including the spatial distribution of the population, its concentration in exposed areas, and a wide range of individual and household level characteristics

PoPClimate

POPClimate is designed to create an innovation center for the integration of census data into climate change adaptation planning.

Built around UNFPA’s manual on the use of census data for adaptation - introductory guide to spatial analysis, data processing and existing resources in this area.

PoPClimate

Building on this manual, the platform invites users to join the POPClimate community and contribute five key types of inputs: Methods for data processing and analysis Case studies demonstrating uses of census

data for spatial analysis Census-based indicators of vulnerability and

resilience Data sources Visualizations of data, particularly maps

Protecting the NSOs during the changeover from print to electronic, in particular maintaining release times when the process is automated.

How much manual intervention is useful to maintain a high standard of delivery to customers?

Who polices the electronic versions? How is this managed?

Examples good and bad of the experiences of individual NSOs.

The frequency of updates (daily weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) considered appropriate.

Providing adequate data security, especially during the changeover.
