The MLHUD Sector Strategic Plan for Statistics (SSPS) is a 5 year (2007/8 – 2011/12) plan which provides a framework for further reform and acceleration of statistical development in the sector statistical system. This Plan is intended to guide the development of an integrated, coordinated and coherent statistical system which ensures harmonized data production processes at all levels of administration. Although the Ministry is relatively new, it strives to obtain quality statistics. However, like many other line Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), operationalising a system for data collection, analysis and dissemination remains a challenge.
The current statistics unit has inadequate equipment, limited funding for statistics and staff with limited skills to support production and dissemination of quality statistics. Therefore the existing data sets are inconsistent, incomplete and rarely updated. This limits utilization of the data.
