II. CRESS-Philippines Questionnaires: Data Items to be collected from Development Partners

II. CRESS-Philippines Questionnaires: Data Items to be collected from Development Partners

• Questionnaire 4: Financing for Statistics by Development Partners, 2012-2014  Respondent Profile  Background information for each project (project name, unique identifier, executing agency(ies), objectives, CSA classification, duration)  Financing information (type of support, total commitment, total disbursement as of 31 December 2014, disbursement scheme)


11

10

• Questionnaire 5: Financing for Statistics by Development Partners , 2015onwards  Respondent Profile  Background information for each project (project name, unique identifier, executing agency(ies), objectives, CSA classification, duration)  Financing information (type of support, total commitment, disbursement scheme)

III. Lessons Learned from NSCB Pilot


 On the Questionnaire:  Noted the relatively impressive documentations (particularly for Questionnaire 3) by PSA Makati/former NSCB  The PSA-Makati /former NSCB experience in filling up the questionnaires will be used to guide the other CRESS respondents


13



14



III. Lessons Learned from NSCB Pilot  On the Filled-up Questionnaire:  Critical role of the dedication and cooperation of budget officers in filling up the questionnaires  Will be useful if NSCB can document ( for experiencesharing with other countries) the processes followed that allowed the detailed information in the filled-up questionnaire  Questionnaires cannot fully capture impact of structural/organizational changes ( creation of PSA in 2013)  Difficulty in gathering information/coordination because PSA is still in transition

 On the Questionnaire:  Need for additional column on sources of information for Questionnaire 3 (will be useful in institutionalization specially when there is staff turnover)  Need to compare CRESS Questionnaires 4 & 5 data items with PRESS database/data items


 On the Questionnaire:  Need for clearer instructions  Questionnaire should be filled up jointly by budget officers/technical personnel in charge of statistical matters  Filling up of data items on projects financed by external sources can take some time especially if documentation/record-keeping is poor (can coordinate with development partners)  Use of CSA-classification system can result in multi-areas of classification

16




III. Lessons Learned from NSCB Pilot  On the Filled-up Questionnaire:

 On the Filled-up Questionnaire:  It will be useful if NSCB/PSA Makati can provide funding estimates in Questionnaire 3 disaggregated by CSA (best effort)  FX conversion rate to be used should be the annual average (available from BSP)  Some data items have remained unfilled (SAE, Local Data on Children)


17

 Noted possible source of discrepancy between CRESS and PRESS data: consultancy services directly paid for by donor may be reported in PRESS but not in CRESS




IV. Some Issues/Concerns in Filling up the Questionnaire

IV. Some Issues/Concerns in Filling up the Questionnaire

• Definitions/Coverage:

• Estimation:

 Support for statistics  Statistics projects  Statistics personnel/personnel undertaking statistics function  Attached Agencies with separate GAA budgets (separate from the department/ministry they are attached to) should submit separate reports


18

19

 Time spent by multi-tasking personnel on statistics function  Statistics component of large programs/projects  Financing for period 2012-2014 when project duration extends beyond 2012-2014

• How to encourage the full commitment and cooperation of the PSS agencies/Development Partners to CRESS! RAVirola, 08 June 2015, AIM Makati
