The Respondent
further explains that work in this field entails developing statistical questionnaires or
using administrative records; designing data collection methods; developing and
managing the collection of information; designing and implementing specifications
for assessing the plausibility of data through editing and imputation; processing the
cleaned records into statistical tables and databases; applying analytical tools to
outline the major findings; and developing appropriate dissemination methods. (...) The Respondent further states that
Applicant’s work on establishing databases do not entail experience in population
census or vital statistics methodology and the Applicant’s work on the producing
reports do not refer to either the methodology for conducting population and housing
censuses, or the methods for producing vital statistics from civil registration.
18. (...) With respect to the second requirement of “a progressively responsible
experience in methodological work in the field of population and housing censuses,
civil registration and vital statistics at national or international level”, the Applicant
points to the following key evidence: (a) his cover letter states that he has contributed
to reports of the Secretary-General to the Commission of Population and
Development and contributed to several reports and journals relating to population
and mortality issues; (b) his experience in methodological work in the field of
population and housing censuses, civil registration and vital statistics at national or
international level started in 1993 when he established the Kannisto-Thatcher
database on old age mortality; (c) two major methodological innovations introduced
by the Applicant for estimating population at advanced ages, the “Survivor Ratio
Method” and the “Estimating Size of Population Aged 90+ Method” are still used
actively today.

It was a pleasure to assist
countries of the ECOWAS region individually on an ad-hoc basis as
well as to provide backstopping advice to strengthen capacity in the
area of poverty statistics on two occasions organized in the region: a
workshop on Poverty Statistics in July 2004 and the Expert Group
Meeting in a Regional publication on Poverty Statistics both held in
Abuja – Nigeria in July 2004 and February 2005 respectively. (...) In her 2005–2006 e-PAS the applicant described her work with ECOWAS
during this period as –
The preparation of the first United Nations Handbook on Poverty
Statistics, Methods and Policy Use, and of its regional companion The
ECOWAS Poverty Profiles: A Statistical and Policy Review, has been
a major challenge during this reporting period and I look forward to
contributing further to such important work of the Division …
Her first reporting officer, the Services Chief, described her input as –
For the Development Account Project in the ECOWAS region, [the
applicant], provided the necessary leadership for the advancement of
the regional publication on poverty statistics, by interacting closely
with the senior management of the ECOWAS Secretariat and acting as
their technical advisor in all matters related to the project. (...) In April/May 2006, according to both the Services Chief and the Chief of
Demographic and Social Statistics Branch (the Demographic Chief), the applicant
was transferred to the Demographic and Social Statistics Branch, UNSD.

Riecan argues that the
Secretary-General confounds the specific finding of a duty to consider e-PAS reports with the
method of assessment. The UNDT was not requiring the assessment panel to assess the
candidates by using solely the e-PAS nor did the UNDT require the assessment panel to add or
replace this assessment method to one already chosen. (...) As already alluded to, the Administration has wide discretion to choose the best
evaluation method in order to assess which candidates are most qualified for selection.12 In the
instant case, the UNDT erred on a matter of law and exceeded its competence by ruling that the
interview panel was under a duty to consider Mr. (...) In
finding so, the UNDT improperly assumed the role of deciding which evaluation method should
have been used and adopted an approach which is not institutionalized in the existing
staff selection system established under the Staff Regulations and Rules.

In North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, statistical offices use disclosure control methods, particularly methods involving some form of data perturbation, to safely publish detailed and disaggregated census tables. (...) This study reviews the problem of statistical disclosure control for census tables and international best practice, focusing particularly on the use of perturbative methods; it carries out comparative analysis and testing of the cell perturbation method and random rounding methods; and recommends that these methods should be made available to statistical offices through the REDATAM software.

Global Strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics
The Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics (Global Strategy) was developed as a blueprint for a coordinated and long-term initiative to address the decline in the agricultural statistical systems of many developing countries. (...) Significant results have been achieved: i) agricultural statistical methods have been completely upgraded and endorsed by FAO, ii) Strategic Plans for Agricultural and Rural Statistics (SPARS)have been prepared in almost 40 countries, iii) a fast-track model of technical assistance has been successfully implemented and iv) tangible progress has been made in countries’ overall capacity through regional training programmes.

Manual II - Methods of Appraisal of Quality of Basic Data for Population Estimates
INTRODUCTION
The need for appraisal of demographic statistics
Population statistics, like all other statistics, whether they are obtained by enumeration, registration, or other means, are affected by errors. (...) Consequently, different methods have to be employed in different sit- uations for the appraisal of the accuracy of statistics. (...) Each of the fou~ chapters is. concer~ed with methods of testing as applIed to a .partIcu1ar ,kmd of statistics, namely cen- sus totals, statIstIcs of bIrths and deaths statistics of population by age and sex, and statistics ~f migration.

The purpose of the meeting is to (a) examine the state of vital statistics based on civil registration, with emphasis on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), (b) review the state- of-knowledge with analytical methods to evaluate the proportion of actual vital events that are registered by the civil registration of vital statistics (CRVS) system and quality of vital statistics collected through civil registration, and (c) review lessons learnt from local and international experiences in applying these methods to various settings.
(...) • What are the strengths and limitations of the various methods? • What are the lessons learned from recent experiences with the application of
these methods to different settings? (...) Outcomes of the meeting:
• A report summarizing the conclusions, lessons learned, and any recommendations based on the evidence presented and discussions at the meeting.
• Two background papers published as technical papers of the Population Division on the state-of-knowledge on direct and indirect analytical methods to evaluate the completeness and quality of death registration, and recent experiences of the use of record linkage validation studies for CRVS evaluation.
• The expert group meeting will also contribute to inform the development of a new UN handbook providing operational guidelines for the evaluation of geographic coverage of civil registration and state-of-the-art methods available to assess the completeness and quality of vital statistics data from civil registration at the national and subnational level.
