Assignment Title: Documentation of Statistical Processes

Reference No.: SVG-DDMP-CS-INDV-5

The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (GoSVG) has applied for financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the OECS Data for Decision Making Project (DDMP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services for Documentation of Statistical Processes.

The OECS Data for Decision Making (DDM) Project (the Project) is a regional project that seeks to improve the capacity of participating Eastern Caribbean countries to produce and publicly disseminate statistical data for country and regional level analytics. It is being implemented by Grenada, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the OECS Commission. The Project is being implemented over a five-year period ending in June 2027.

Additional details on the Project can be found at the following link: (https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/520151651261033077/pdf/Grenada-Saint-Lucia-Saint-Vincent-and-the-Grenadines-Organization-of-Eastern-Caribbean-States-Commission-OECS-Data-for-Decision-Making-Project.pdf?_gl=1*1ixhs9b*_gcl_au*MTc4ODI0MTE2NC4xNzIzMDczMjIy ).

Under Component 1, The Project will document the statistical processes of the Central Statistical Office and Stakeholders in the National Statistical System. Proper documentation is crucial for archiving and future replication or redesign of activities. Documentation of Statistical Processes involves recording of statistical activities, including the concepts, definitions, and methods used to collect, process, and analyze data.
