| Established in November 1999 in response to the UN Economic and Social Council resolution on the goals of the UN Conference on Development, the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21) was launched to act as a catalyst for promoting a culture of evidence-based policymaking and monitoring in all countries, and especially in developing countries. The PARIS21 Consortium is a partnership of policymakers, analysts, and statisticians from all countries of the world. We focus on promoting high-quality statistics, making these data meaningful, and designing sound policies. Our role in PARIS21 is to foster more effective dialogue among those who produce development statistics and those who use them, through facilitating international events, supporting country-based activities, regional workshops, and subject matter task teams.
Consortium membership is worldwide. Members are from governments, international organisations, professional bodies, and academic institutions. The day-to-day activities of the partnership are organised by a Secretariat based in the Development Co-operation Directorate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/DCD) in Paris. The work of the Secretariat is guided by a Steering Committee, an international group of stakeholders with representatives from developing countries from each region of the world, bilateral donors, and multilateral institutions. It is co-chaired by a member of the Bureau of the UN Statistical Commission representing developing countries and the Chair of the OECD Development Assistance Committee representing the donor community. The Steering Committee has a Bureau subgroup that provides guidance and support to the Secretariat and its work programme between Steering Committee meetings.
PARIS21 has undergone two evaluations: one in 2003 and one in 2006. |
