This site explains the Bank’s approach to statistical capacity improvement. It provides resources to help our clients develop better statistical capacity that advances the national and international monitoring of development policies and goals. The site is managed by the Statistical Capacity Team of the World Bank Development Data Group. “Whether we wish to adjust the size of our fiscal deficit, increase social spending, pursue macroeconomic convergence in the region, or assess progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, accurate, timely, useful data lie at the heart of all these efforts… Achieving the right policies requires the management of trade-offs informed by good statistics.”
