Foreword
The Puntland Statistics Department (PSD) under the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation keeps on the prime statistical institution since its establishment in 1998. The Statistics ACT - 7/2013 has mandated the department the responsibility of responsible for collecting, processing, analyzing and disseminating of data in Puntland. PSD is the coordinating of statistical activities for the entire National Statistics System (NSS). Therefore, it’s necessary to develop all legal frameworks including data dissemination Policy to facilitate smooth implementation of statistical activities related to data production and dissemination. The Puntland Constitution and the Statistics Act have granted the right access of information to every citizen. Consequently, to respond the obligations mentioned above, the department has developed this policy document that describes the processes and procedures related to data and micro data dissemination. This policy document provides an outline for dissemination of official statistics information to the public in response to the right of citizens. Given the importance of data in decision making, policy formulation, planning and monitoring evaluation process, PSD and the NSS are to disseminate both data micro data to various data users through user-friendly dissemination channels to be able to meet various data needs. In addition, the policy provides the format and standard approaches to be followed when accessing the data. In this regard, the policy justifies the real importance of data in socio-economic development of the country in the sense that data shows the areas that need more intervention than the others to improve living conditions of the citizens. The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation requests all data producers and users to follow the guidelines provided in this policy for effective and supportive data and micro data dissemination.

1.0 Introduction
This document contains the main rules and guidelines for the dissemination of statistics by the Puntland statistics department of Ministry of planning and international cooperation (MoPIC) of Puntland. It also outlines the channels through which results and information will be communicated to the stakeholders and key audiences taking the consideration of the department’s dissemination principles by indicating the Process for dissemination of statistical results and identifying the Monitoring and evaluation of the dissemination policy. The Puntland statistics department from Puntland Ministry of planning and international cooperation is the centre of statistical data activity in the state which is responsible for collection, processing and dissemination of statistical data through periodic publications. The information produced by MoPIC Puntland Statistics Department is intended to satisfy the diverse information requirements of all categories of users locally and externally. Official Statistics shall be presented in a way that they can be understood by the different users, even those without any expert statistics knowledge. MoPIC Puntland Statistics Department mission is to produce, coordinate, supervise and disseminate quality statistics for national statistical system. The communication unit of the statistics department has responsibility to ensure that the policy is effectively implemented However, this dissemination policy will be updated in full or in part every three years for the sake of improvement of the policy. In addition to that, the policy should be validated using the feedbacks from the stakeholders. This data dissemination policy came from the demand of users and is based on the following factors among others: o Official statistics is a common property of the society, so it should be disseminated autonomously, transparent and without interference from political navigation; o Dissemination formats and channels to be user friendly and made it easy with a help of the latest technology and innovation; o Data files structures that insure confidentially of respondent should be used all the time. And released according to advance release calendar.

1.1 Objectives The main objective of the policy is to provide users with reliable and objective micro, meta, and macro data set on the social, demographic, GIS related data, administrative, economic and environmental situation and trends in the state. 1.2 Scope of the policy The information disseminated by MoPIC Puntland Statistics Department is intended to satisfy the diverse information (micro, meta, macro, administrative, and GIS related data) to all categories of users locally and externally. 2 Law governing statistical dissemination Puntland statistics dissemination policy is framed in accordance with provisions of Puntland Strategic Plan for Statistics Development (2017 -2019) and Puntland Statistics Act 2013 under article 8 which indicates: o “The Office may make arrangements with other public authorities and persons for the collection, compilation, extraction or dissemination of information for statistical purposes”; o “The Office shall maintain close and regular contact with the principal users and suppliers of statistics”.
3 Principles of data dissemination MoPIC Puntland Statistics Department aims to be open about all aspects of statistics through the statistical dissemination, users are alerted about all upcoming statistical releases and analyses of the data. The principles of statistics data are central to dissemination, and these principles are based on Puntland statistical Act Under article 7 “dissemination of official statistics is one of the mandates of the statistics department”. This policy will be implemented under the following principles: 1. Official statistics shall be relevant and accurate. 2. Statistics is updated and published frequently on time. 3. Statistics are easily accessible to users and in the standard format that meet users’ requirement. 4. Disseminate statistics should be comparable using common standards, definitions classifications and methodologies. 5. Statistics should be consisted and coherent. 6. Coordination of National Statistical System should be strengthened. 7. All users are treated equally.

4 Target groups Statistical data disseminated are available via media targets, all segments of local and global audience. Accurate statistical data are indispensable for public policy, planning and programmes aiming to achieve sound empirical and sustainable development. In the Puntland case the targeted users of statistics and their intended priorities can be summarized as follows: (i)
Government agencies
Government agencies are frequently users of the statistics’ website. They need data for planning and decision making, such as economic and social statistics in order to know the situation of the country at a high level. (ii)
International agencies
The international agencies need information for planning and decision making such as economic statistics. They are interested in finding older surveys as well as for comparison and they preferably use the English part of the website. (iii)
Research and academic institutions
To be able to plan their work the researchers need to know the dates for upcoming publications. They often need time series and preferably gets them from a database so that they can find it in one place. They are interested in the documentations and methods about the surveys so that their secondary data analysis’ reports to be reliable. They often write their reports in English. They sometimes need micro-data. (iv)
Enterprises
Enterprises need surveys about the fields they do business, therefore they need data on a quite low regional level. They are interested in Price statistics such as CPI & Forex so that they can follow the inflation. They want to know in advance when the new release will be published. (v)
Local agencies
Local agencies want to use information from the statistics’ website to keep their own websites updated. They need to know when next publication is done. For statistics trust purposes, they need to access methods and documentation. They preferably look for economic and financial statistics (CPI & Forex).
3
(vi)
Media
Media is interested in Census data and time series. The media needs to understand statistics properly and used it correctly in the press releases. Therefore, it is important that data is published on time and according to advances in the calendar to allow media access updated information consistently. With this we hope that in the future the media will use in storytelling. (vii)
Public users
Public users often look for facts and figures, population, living conditions and social statistics at a regional level. It is important that the statistics is easy to understand and find. Public users like to make comparisons and with this they help making awareness of data producers in the country. 5 Dissemination channels The channels used to release statistical data are many. The modern technology has made statistical data dissemination easier. This technology includes the on-line data dissemination tools, Websites, mobile applications, data archive systems. Al these tools are used to disseminate both Micro and macro data. However, the following channels will be used for micro and macro data dissemination. (i)
Website
The statistics department has a website in which all statistical data are presented in the form of summary reports, tables, charts and graphs and easily accessible by any one and the website is (www.pl.statistics.so/ ). In addition, other data can be found and accessible on the webpage of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (http://mopicplgov.net/). (ii)
Printing Publications
Hard copies are another widely used dissemination channel. Under this channel hard copies of statistical reports are printed and distributed to various data users. For example, the Puntland Facts & Figures booklets, the gender statistics booklets and the Consumer Price Index, etc. (iii)
Databases
These comprise data files and digital storage media (e.g. DVDs and USB devises) and will be used to disseminate data and metadata as well as softcopies of reports. DDI and web based database cataloging system shall be linked to the Puntland Statistics Department website online data base such as NADA. 4
(iv)
Social media
Social-media is another emerging data dissemination channel that PSD Will Capitalize on especially for young people. These include Facebook, twitter, E-mail etc. (v)
The mass media
Radios, TVs and newspapers are good data dissemination specially when targeting the general public. The PSD will engage the Media industry to access and use data in their work. (vi)
The library
Library is an important channel to reach by the public and its stored different documents and collections of books. The resource centre is the permanent repository of the PSD products and preserves published information for current use and future generation references. The resource centre shall work to ensure that information is available and accessible to all decision makers, planners, researchers and the public as a whole. Therefore, i.
The resource centre shall provide an access to all suitable information updates of official statistics reports and other relevant collections of assessment, project, programs and survey reports.

7 Process and procedures for microdata access This policy aims to support the needs of specialized researchers and students by providing anonymized microdata files to be used strictly for research/statistical purposes. The output from such research forms the basis for decision-making about policies and programmes. The release of the data for research purposes substantially enhances the analytic value of the data that have been collected through various censuses and surveys conducted by the organization.
6
7.1 Anonymization of Micro Data Files Direct and indirect identifiers shall be removed from files prior to dissemination through various anonymization procedures. Two main types of anonymized files will be produced under the terms of this policy. The major differences among these files are the levels of geographic and characteristic details. (i)
Public Use Files (PUFs): Microdata files are disseminated by PSD for general public use. These files shall be made available for downloading, from the Statistics website through NADA, to individuals who identify themselves by name, provide their email addresses and other detail information as per request form and agree to abide by the set terms and conditions defined by PSD. Such data files shall be made available to users free of charge.
(ii)
Licensed files: To permit users to access data files that are less highly anonymized and/or more sensitive than PUFs, the users shall have a signed agreement with PSD. For these files, all individual identifiers shall be removed and some characteristic details may be collapsed or removed. Licensing agreements shall only be entered into with users working for registered organizations, and unidentified individuals. The primary and secondary researchers shall be identified by name and the institution. Such files shall be available free of charge.
(iii)
Data Enclave Files: are used for particularly sensitive data or for more detailed data for which sufficient anonymization to release them outside the PSD premises is not possible.
7.2 Microdata Access (i) Public Use Files (PUFs): These can be accessed freely through the website once the users have registered online and agreed to the terms and conditions of use to the data set provided in the registration form. (ii) Licensed files: These require an agreement between users and PSD to permit them to access data that is more detailed. The files may be transferred to user’s online methods or through DVDs, hard-drive, etc. (iii) Data Enclave Files: PSD shall, in some cases, permit users to work on-site within the PSD premises to access sensitive data which could not be adequately anonymised for release outside of the organisation.
7
All data to be shared, shall be reviewed by an officer of PSD to ensure that confidentiality is not breached. When requesting for this data, researchers shall be asked to outline their research objectives, for permission to be accorded.
8. Advance Release Calendar The PSD shall publish and release data of various statistical reports on the website according to advance release calendar. The advanced release calendar will show the dates of major statistical outputs to be released in particular year. This calendar will be published at beginning of each year. The template to be used is added in the annex 3. 9. Correcting data errors If the data users detected the errors, they shall report directly to PSD which will be responsible to address them and provide feedback on the website. In this case the steps below will be followed : a.
Writing an explanatory note with revised statistics and publishing it through different dissemination channels.
b. If the error that had major impact on the country’s economy, then the director of statistics will give a public apology. 10. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the policy The public relations-documentation and data implementation section will be responsible for the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of this policy. The M&E from (see annex 4) will be used to get opinions of various data users regarding different aspects of data production, quality, dissemination practices, etc, for the PSD to know where the improvement are needed. 11. Revision of the policy This policy shall be revised on a three-year basis. However, if need arises the Director of Puntland Statistics Department shall authorize its revision. Changes necessitating revision shall include changes in technology, statutory regulations and any other reasons as may be determined from time to time.
12. Implementation plan The policy is expected to be effective from 30 December 2017 onwards as shown in annex 5, and it will be monitored regularly using the standard template shown in annex 4. This 8
regular monitoring will allow the PSD to know what users’ needs and how and adjust the statistical products accordingly.

Such units can be persons, households, firms or enterprises, agricultural holdings or other service delivery units. In the context of this Policy refers the electronic data files containing the information about each unit of observation. Macro data: Macro data or aggregated data provides a summarized version of this statistical information in the form of means, ratios, frequencies or other summary statistics. Metadata: Data about data or structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to retrieve, use, or manage an information resource. This is a data that serves to provide context or additional information about other data. It may also describe the conditions under which data stored in a database was acquired, its accuracy, date, time, method of compilation and processing, etc Dissemination channels: Are channels used to release through official statistics. Here at this stage the office uses as dissemination channels the Website, Printing Publications, Massmedia and Social media. Anonymization: The process of removing any information that uniquely identifies a data collection entity such as a person, household and establishment.
