Overview of roles and responsibilities

Overview of roles and responsibilities

The National Statistical System in Cambodia is highly decentralized. The central institution in the National Statistical System is the NIS at Ministry of Planning. According to the Statistics Law, the NIS is the official national statistical institution of the Royal Government of Cambodia, with the responsibility for establishing, leading and coordinating an integrated national statistical system which covers all designated official statistics and statistical units within ministries and government institutions. In addition to the NIS, each ministry and other government institutions have a statistics unit responsible for producing statistics. Various ministries and other institutions collect and produce statistics as part of their work. The system consists of NIS and 28 line ministries, government institutions and National Bank of Cambodia, as well as all producers of designated official statistics. The statistical database has been developed by NIS through data of census and surveys conducted by NIS and consolidating the statistical data produced by line ministries in one database.

Metadata management team

There are three teams for metadata management based on the project under NIS management such as CamInfo team, CensusInfo team and NADA team.

Training and knowledge management

After releasing the new version for CesnsusInfo and CamInfo, the training for using these systems have been conducted at national and sub-national levels for government officials. The core staffs involved in this work have been trained inside and outside the country through project support.

Partnerships and cooperation

The NIS was supported by ADB since 1992 and by other donors such as Sida, UNFPA, UNDP, UNICEF and JICA. The CamInfo is still supported by UNICEF and CensusInfo by UNFPA, and from 2015, the Royal Government of Cambodia will be responsible for these activities as there may not be any support from the donors.

Other issues

The budget from government is still limited for these activities and has to be increased if no support from donors is forthcoming after 2015.

Lessons learned

The staff members who are involved in these works have received training from experts and actual practice from the beginning. However, the training is still required based on new technology update.
