MDGs
• In MDG Report 2004 Thailand have been achieved
national MDG targets ahead of global schedule
- Poverty
- Hunger
- Gender
- HIV/AIDS
- Malaria
• Thailand not satisfied with these achievements
• We try to set more ambitious targets “ MDG Plus”
which is suitable for Thai context
2
MDGs Plus
• The challenge targets beyond national targets
and suitable and feasible to Thai context
• Point to the persistent disparities among
region and groups and vulnerable groups
- below-average condition health in the Northeast
- poverty in remote highland areas of the North
- Muslim communities in 3 provinces of the South

How to Monitor the MDG Plus
• Participatory process and engagement by all policy makers
● Networking and multi-sectoral actions through the
function of the Committee
● Integrating MDG strategy into the country National
Development Plan
• Each champion and related agencies are responsible for
respective strategic goal.
● Most of the data of the related agencies would be used
to calculate those indicators, including monitoring the
situation of the indicators

Lessons Learned
• The participatory approach by the form of
committee created the close networking of
multi-sectoral
• Integration into the National Development Plan
+
• The MDG targets are too ambitious for the
national level.
6
The Challenges
+
• The MDG goals and targets should be set and
point to the problem of specific population group
in specific area.
●
The people and policy maker in the specific area
should be paticipate in the MGD+ processing.
• Thailand have MDG at sub-national level;
call “ MDG* “

Role of National Statistics Office

consultants during target, indicator, data and

and
The NSO's Role on the MDGs
The NSO provides not only consultation and
cluster meeting, but also through survey and
census conducted which could provide data using
for measuring MDG indicators. Furthermore, the
function in compiling and analyzing statistical
data is used to support government policies and
those could support for MDG indicators.
10
The NSO is the statistical data center, which
provides information, produced by the NSO and
the other government agencies including the
data for the MDG indicators. However, data from
various agencies might have different coverage
and definitions.
11
The different definition and classification, make

Therefore, the NSO has to coordinate with other

ROLE OF STATISTICS FOR DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
and MDGs TARGET
The NSO, as the consultant and producer would
fulfill the gap in consulting and producing the
continuity, consistency statistics data timely
including policy analysis.
The NSO would also
conduct the survey, those that are important and
not produced by the other statistical units.
14
Plan and Activities of NSO
- A statistics strategic development plan “Thailand
Master Plan”
- The database would be developed to provide
complete and correct data and information timely
- Conducted Thailand Multiple Indicator Cluster
Survey
- Capacity building
- Project on Key National Development Indicator
with MDGs Indicators (CountryData)

Thailand’s Statistical Master Plan
Current Situation of Thailand National Statistical System
Thailand National Statistical System
Decentralized Statistical System
Too many sources of data collection
Too many data produced
Could not find the right source/kind of data
(duplication, omission,
quality & statistical standards problems)
Could not do any analysis or make decision
for national policies formulation & for urgent crisis
(user confusion, coordination problems)
Due to data are not being
integrated and linked
17
Amendment of Statistics Act in 2007
(1952 → 1965 → 2007)
• Thailand National Statistical System is still
Decentralized System, but with clear roles, function
and relation of various agencies in the National
Statistical System
• To empower NSO to do better coordination roles
for effective management of National Statistical
System
• Statistical Data of Government organizations will
be linked and used integratedly
18

Implementing TSMP: Challenges
1) The plan was to launch all 21 sectors at the same time, which
was big job and needed more staff.
2) NSO internally established three bureaus as following:
- the Statistical Management Bureau; mainly responsible
for coordinating the endorsement and implementation
of the TSMP
- the National Information Center; mainly responsible for
developing the system for linking and exchanging
statistical data & information from all government
agencies
- the Human Resource Development Group; mainly
responsible for providing training to statistical staff from
all statistical units
3) NSO also recruited internal staff for assisting as committee and
secretary assistance

Steps of TSMP Implementation
1) Setting a governance structure in the form of
committees and sub-committees
2) Visiting high-level executive in order to have closely
collaboration among relevant stakeholders
3) Scheduling the meeting of each statistics sectors in
order to have sectoral statistical master plans, a list
of official statistics and annual report of each sector
4) Introducing the use of the guideline for good
statistical practice and the quality assessment
framework
5) Developing the centralized system for statistical
service such as Data Networking
16
Implementing TSMP: Recent Progress (2011-2012)




Collaboration from line ministries and the perception of highlevel executive on the significance and usefulness of
statistical data for national development as well as for the
development of their agencies
A well understanding and pursuing by relevant staff from all
agencies
Be able to establish the Sectoral Statistical Master Plan of
each sector
Having the quality statistics from each sector
Having an annual report (for a fiscal year 2012)of each
sector
On the process of preparation for
- The Guideline for Good Statistical Practice (GSP)
- The Quality Assessment Framework (QA)
17
Implementing TSMP: Problems / Obstacles


The implementation of TSMP is so far having a well collaboration
from line ministries, however the progress was slightly delayed.
This is because
1) The system is new to both NSO and other agencies, many
issues need discussion and clarification, many details of the
system need to be worked out, as well as the need for well plan
and structure from conceptual idea to practical implementation.
2) Concerning that TSMP involves almost all government
agencies – saying that it is a big job. And it is somewhat an extra
assignment to all participated line ministries concerning that most
of them have their usual work.
3) Concerning that each sectoral sub-committee chaired by
the permanent secretary of the respective ministry which needs an
advance booking – saying that it is difficult in scheduling the
meeting date of each sector.
18
Implementing TSMP: Way Forward



NSO will conduct the assessment of TSMP
implementation of the first phrase (year 2011 – 2012)
NSO will prepare the centralized system for statistical
service (including the development of the input,
searching and presentation feature) such as Data
Networking, for which the statistics is used worthwhile
NSO will construct the capacity building programs;
1) a good practice for the production of statistics
2) the use of statistical service system

Concept for Thailand Statistical Master Plan (TSMP
The TSMP is
“a tool for management of national
statistical system” and
“used as the guideline for direction,
objectives, main goals, structures and
strategic framework for the development of
national statistical system”
Guideline for implementing TSMP
• Establishing a multi-stakeholder mechanism (data
producers and data users)
• Evaluation the status and the capacity of statistical
system as well as concerning the expectation of current
users
• Building a share vision and goal among relevant
agencies for the development of national statistical
system
• Establishing a strategic framework, setting priorities in
order to accomplish vision and goals
• A clear defined action plan including time and budget
planning in accordance with strategic plan
• Establishing a monitoring and evaluation mechanism in
order to assess the progress of the plan

Challenges of the TSMP implementation
