Statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 1 data use score (scale 0-100)

This comprehensive data use score serves as a vital benchmark for evaluating the demand side of statistical systems across five distinct user categories: the legislature, the executive branch, civil society (including sub-national actors), academia, and international bodies. By highlighting the performance disparities among these user groups, the score illuminates opportunities for improvement and prioritization. Though currently focused on the data utilization by international organizations, the absence of indicators that measure the effectiveness of statistical services for national governments, civil society, and academic institutions raises critical questions regarding the adequacy of existing services. This gap underscores the need for a more holistic approach that assesses the complete ecosystem of data users, ultimately guiding enhancements to national statistical systems to better address diverse data needs.
