What is the project about

The Vision 2030 was preceded by the global launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the core of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, to which Saudi Arabia committed their integration into the national policies and plans and thereafter their implementation.Implementation of the two agendas would certainly require accurate and updated statistics at the national and subnational levels. 

Recently, the General Authority for Statistics (GaStat) has gone through major revision of its corporate strategy and vision alignment with the Saudi Vision 20130. GaStaT strategically aims to create a framework for all statistical needs in support of the National Vision 2030, and National Transformation Program 2020 as well as the SDGs’s agreed upon targets and indicators of relevance to the national context. 

Project outcomes

This project has been designed to provide assistance to GaStat by embracing the following outputs:

1. Institutional framework for statistics reviewed and aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, NTP2020 and SDGs;
2. Capacity developed with the objective of enhancing the technical and statistical analysis machinery through provision of subject-matter experts on the core specialties; instituting benchmarks and best practices to guide performance excellence; extensive staff training and continuous learning;
3. The Information technology infrastructure upgraded to maintain delivery of statistical products meeting the growing demand for indicators and reporting on sustainability at all sectors of the economy; e-linking with 32 entities; establishing national databank.
