Accelerating SDG Achievement through digitized, innovative and accessible statistical system in Comoros


This joint proposal will support the Government of Comoros in fully harnessing the power of data revolution to efficiently monitor key indicators of development and enable informed and timely decision-making to reduce the country’s vulnerabilities, accelerate the achievement of the SDGs aligned with the Comoros Emerging Plan by 2030, and support a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous country. The expected results of the joint programme are threefold: (i) an updated and improved institutional framework and operational capacity of the national statistical system to allow the capture of up to 70% of key SDGs targets prioritized at the national level; (ii) improved regular and reliable production and accessibility of a set of relevant multi-sectoral indicators and functionalities in a digital repository with an open data portal for monitoring the Comoros Emerging Plan and the SDGs by 2023; (iii) use of quality, disaggregated and up-to-date statistical and geospatial data for informed decision making by all actors (Public, Private, CIvil Society and Citizens) in Comoros. The long-term expected result of the proposed Joint Programme (JP) is to contribute to developing a “culture of data” among key decision-makers and actors in the Comoros.

Approach

The Joint Programme will assist with establishing systematic processes and structures for data management, including data exchange protocols; developing and applying metrics for performance monitoring and quality improvement of the national statistical system and the national digital data repository; and institutionalizing and promoting use of the national digital data repository across government and other stakeholders.

Brief description

The main objective of the Joint Programme (JP) is to support the Government of Comoros in strengthening its SDG financing framework and ecosystem to meet its national development goals and the SDGs. It is aligned with the Plan Comores Emergent and the country’s ambition to reduce poverty and improve the well-being of people. The programme will be critical to accompany the country on its transformational change agenda. 

Approach

This will be done (a) by supporting the capacity to mobilize internal resources with the implementation of the
initiative "Tax Inspectors without Borders" to support the reform in tax system and the taxation of the informal sector; (b) allowing the country to put in place optimal management capacities and procedures of public resources in the frame of the establishment of the integrated national financial framework (INFF), and (c) by strengthening the health sector public expenditure framework for more transparency and efficacy in the implementation of the SDGs.
