Work is being done to make the DHS survey and the employee survey yearly traditions for gathering and sharing information. It enhances the collection and use of gender data and other gaps in SDG data, maps nation-level data gaps and announces new initiatives to fix those gaps, and creates a Roadmap/Action Plan for the country.
There has been a progression of measures implemented thus far. Senegal’s primary telephone company, SONATEL (ORANGE). Partnered with the ANSD and the ONE Campaign to make its Call Details Records (CDR) available to the research community for data mining and the creation of socio-demographic indicators. Participants from over 60 nations and hundreds of academic institutions used the publicly available data to solve the challenge. Winners of the Data for Development (D4D) challenge from the University at Buffalo in New York presented their presentations in Dakar in June with the support of PARIS21.
PARIS21 is an additional project focusing on the Senegalese investment agency ANSD. “cartography of investments and their outcomes for a better decision-making process” is the focus of that endeavor. The outcomes will be made public in October 2015. Senegal is likewise working on rebasing its national accounts to create more precise macroeconomic statistics.
