The approach demonstrates the importance of expanding traditional capacity-building activities to include programs to strengthen and better monitor user demand for data. Based on this analysis, the paper recommends a two-step strategy for building and enhancing the sustainable statistical capacity of national statistical systems in developing countries. The strategy creates a sustainable trajectory for developing national statistical systems that meet the growing demands of local and global data users. The paper emphasizes the importance of donor coordination and South-South learning initiatives for international capacity-building efforts. 2021-09-02T18:30:42Z 2021-09-02T18:30:42Z 2021-08 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/undefined/424741630413175139/The-Highways-and-Side-Roads-of-Statistical-Capacity-Building http://hdl.handle.net/10986/36229 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9764 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Europe and Central Asia
