OECS DATA FOR DECSION MAKING PROJECT - SOCIAL ASSESSMENT

This social assessment (SA) has been undertaken as part of the OECS Data for Decision Making Project (P174986). The SA aims to assess and identify any gaps within the statistical systems in the project’s participating countries’ (Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and Grenadines) National Statistics Organizations (NSOs) and the OECS’ Statistical Services Unit (SSU). The findings from the assessment will be used to inform project design. The information presented in the SA will be used to ensure that the project is able to reduce or eliminate, as much as possible, the existing patterns of social exclusion associated with data collection in the participating countries and the OECS. Furthermore, the findings of the SA will be used in monitoring and evaluation to ensure that the project is achieving its intended outcome.
