Partner Report on Support to Statistics (PRESS)
The PARIS21 Partner Report on Support to Statistics, PARIS21's flagship report, is the most comprehensive annual analysis of donor financial flows to data and statistics. Since 2007, the report has provided an annual analysis of trends in financing for data and statistics equipping the international data and statistics community with the information it needs to effectively support better statistical systems across the world.
PRESS uses a multi-faceted approach to shape the narrative on the evolution of data and statistics financing. The report employs novel quantitative techniques to analyse over 300,000 projects in development aid each year for estimating trends related to funding data and statistics from bilateral multilateral and philanthropic aid providers. PRESS underscores financing gaps, challenges and opportunities for data and statistics.
CRESS
CRESS is a country-led initiative supported by PARIS21 to gather data relating to the funding of the national statistical system (NSS), whether deriving from domestic resources or external aid. The information in CRESS can help countries to determine whether their NSDS activities are funded, prioritise activities according to resources, and mobilise more resources where necessary.
All previous CRESS reports are available in our Knowledge Database.
Clearinghouse for Financing Development Data
The Clearinghouse for Financing Development Data is a platform to help countries, donors, and development agencies identify funding opportunities, bring projects to scale, advocate for support to data and statistics and connect to new partners. It provides information and services to match the supply and demand of financing for data and statistics to foster transparency, accountability, and alignment while facilitating co-ordination among donors and partner countries.
PRESS 2024 - PARIS21 Partner Report on Support to Statistics 2024: Ensuring Resilient Data Systems in a Changing Funding Environment
While financing for data and statistics appears to continue its trend of stagnation in 2022, the configuration of donors and modalities is increasingly complex. Traditional donors continued to work under budget constrained conditions, and new donors - notably from the private sector - are increasing their funding. However, this is not a like-for-like exchange and the implications for countries who are seeking to strengthen and reinforce their statistical systems and increase their data production are not yet understood.
