Paper Business ethics in modern conditions of data evolution covers various aspects of national statistical offices: ethical assessment of internal and external policy of the organization as a whole, moral principles of the organization members, moral climate, patterns of behavior, norms of business etiquette. I would like to note that the Law "On Public Service" was revised in our country in 2022. We are guided by it in carrying out our professional activities along with the Law "On State Statistics". One of the innovations that was adopted is the General Requirements of Service Ethics of State Civil Servants. They were developed in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus, Article 8 of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the International Code of Conduct for Public Officials, the legislation on state civil service and on corruption combating. The fundamental principles of the General Requirements of Service Ethics of State Civil Servants are: strengthening the authority of the state civil service by their behavior, mutual respect and constructive professional interaction with colleagues and citizens, maintaining a favorable moral and psychological climate in the team, adherence to high moral principles and standards of conduct. Also, the General Requirements of Service Ethics enshrines the norm on the appearance of civil servants and culture of speech in the performance of official duties. During the performance of official duties, it is important to adhere to the business style of clothes, observe the culture of communication and official business style of speech. At the same time the Rules of Professional Ethics of Employees of State Statistical Offices have been in force in the statistical offices of Belarus for more than 14 years. They have been elaborated taking into account the specifics of professional statistical activity. The present rules constitute the set of norms defining the requirements for the behavior of state statistics employees in the performance of official duties and in off-duty activities, in relations with citizens, respondents, users, employees of other organizations, colleagues. The Rules of professional ethics stipulate that citizens, respondents, users, employees of state bodies and organizations, who applied to the bodies of state statistics, have the right to expect that statisticians will use their knowledge and experience to the fullest extent in the exercise of professional activity, impartially and honestly perform the duties imposed on him/her. All the staff employed in the state statistical offices of Belarus are familiarized with the Rules of professional ethics and further undertake to observe them. The structure of the Rules of professional ethics consists of general provisions and 7 chapters, which include principles of professional activity of employees, relations with respondents, users of statistical information, employees of other organizations, mass media. The Rules also regulate relations with

3

colleagues and subordinates, requirements for behavior, provide responsibility in case of non- compliance. It would be desirable to dwell in more detail on the principles, which are laid down in the basis of the Rules of professional ethics of employees of state statistical offices. The basic principles of professional activity of state statisticians are directed to the fact that the activity and behavior of statisticians contribute to the maintenance of prestige of work in state statistical offices and to the increase of its public status as well as to the formation of positive image of state statistical offices. The personal reputation of statisticians is the basis of the authority of state statistical offices. One of the principles stipulates that employees shall be obliged to defend the interests of state statistical offices. Also, they shall perform their official duties honestly and conscientiously, at a high level of professionalism, solve effectively the assigned tasks related to the performance of their official functions, without formalism and bureaucracy, at the same time showing permissible independence, high organization, be demanding and principled. One of the most important principles is that while performing their official duties the employees shall observe the generally accepted rules of conduct, shall behave with dignity, adhere to the official address both to other colleagues and to citizens, respondents, users, employees of state bodies and organizations. While compiling, disseminating and (or) presenting official statistical information statisticians shall not allow the influence on their activities by anyone, including employees of state bodies and organizations, irrespective of their position and status, colleagues, relatives, friends or acquaintances. The official statistical information shall be limited by clear boundaries and shall not contain political assessments. In organization of state statistical observations statisticians of Belarus should rationally approach the methods and ways of collecting primary statistical data taking into account the proportionality of the burden of respondents to the needs of users in official statistical information, actively using administrative data, sampling techniques for state statistical observations, methods of estimation and approximation, electronic means of transmitting primary statistical data to respondents, with particular emphasis on efficiency and care (economical) use of resources. Statisticians shall take all necessary measures on suppression and prevention of facts of distortion of data of the state statistical reporting, untimely submission and (or) non-submission of such reporting, bringing to responsibility of persons, who have allowed violations of the order of data submission of the state statistical reporting. Professional independence is a fundamental principle, which is enshrined in the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On State Statistics". This principle is also reflected in the Rules of professional ethics. In this respect, statisticians should not enter into relations with the management and employees of the audited respondent, which may compromise him/her or affect his/her ability to act independently. Also, the public opinion, possible criticism of the activity of statistical offices should not influence the legality and validity of actions of statisticians while performing their official duties. One of the principles is that statisticians shall not allow any manifestations of corruption by their actions and decisions, shall be obliged to comply with the norms of the legislation on combating corruption, assisting in suppressing any manifestation of corruption in the state statistical offices and outside them.

4

The important principle is that the statistician in their professional activity shall not allow personal, family, social or other relations to negatively influence their behavior at work and the quality of professional activity. The Rules of professional ethics of statisticians of Belarus regulate the relations of statisticians with citizens, respondents, users, employees of other organizations. These relations should be characterized by polite, correct treatment, patience, tactfulness, kindness and respect, striving to understand deeply the essence of the question, ability to listen to the interlocutor and to understand his position, balanced and reasoned decision making. The statistician shall be able to respect the rights of citizens, not to lose self-control and dignity when communicating with people. When interacting with respondents, statisticians shall strive to create for them the most favorable regime, to trust in honest respondents and to be ready to build partnership relations with them, to inform respondents that primary statistical data provided are also useful for them, to guarantee their confidentiality, to give timely comprehensive answers to the questions of respondents related to the state statistical activities. Statisticians shall ensure the timeliness, objectivity and accessibility of official statistical information for a wide range of users in a clear and understandable form, in a suitable and convenient way, accompanying official statistical information with metadata and explanations. Also, it is necessary to take active part in highlighting the issues of compiling and presenting the data of state statistical reporting by making speeches in organizations, to hold individual consultations, round tables and seminars with respondents. It is also important to give necessary explanations about the organization and maintenance of state statistics, use of official statistical methodology in the Republic of Belarus. The Rules of professional ethics enshrines important points in the relationship with colleagues, which should be built on the principles of mutual respect, trust and professional cooperation. Thus, the employee of the state statistics of Belarus, endowed with greater powers in comparison with his colleagues, should treat with understanding the subordinates, who have their own professional judgement, should be for them a model of professionalism, impeccable reputation, be an example of kindness and attentiveness to people, contribute to the formation of a moral and psychological climate in the team favorable for effective work, take measures to prevent and regulate the conflict of interests. It is necessary to work on improvement of the professional level during the whole labor career. That is why in the Rules of professional ethics it is established that the employee of state statistics shall constantly improve his professional knowledge and skills, expand his general outlook, maintain his qualification at a high level necessary for the proper performance of official duties, make proposals for the improvement of professional service activity. The statistical officer, having great professional and life experience, shall serve as an example of discipline for young specialists, shall transfer to them his knowledge and traditions of professional skills accumulated by many generations. While adopting legislative acts on the protection of personal data, the important component of the Rules of professional ethics is that the statistical employees are not entitled to disclose or disseminate confidential information, which became known to them in connection with the performance of their official duties, including information about private life of citizens and their personal data, as well as are not entitled to use such information for purposes directly not related to the performance of their official duties. Employees shall be obliged to ensure confidentiality of primary statistical data and

5

individual administrative data and their use exclusively in the implementation of state statistical activities. In conclusion it should be noted that the observance of the Rules of professional ethics by the employees of Belarus statistics is taken into account when making decisions on promotion, attestation, awarding the employee and applying other motivational measures. Summing up, I would like to emphasize that ethics is an integral element of any organization’s personnel management, its organizational culture, necessary for improving the organization’s management system. And national statistical management is not an exception. One of the ways of such improvement can be the introduction of certain standards set on the basis of the analysis of the best practices of corporate behavior. And the dialogue between managers and employees about the values of official statistics, the importance of ethical behavior, motivation of statistical office staff to follow ethical standards will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the working environment.

Summary: The standard of living of the population is characterised not only by the amount of income per capita, but also by the ability to meet the needs at the expense of this income, i.e. the volume of consumption of goods and services.

Growth of prices undoubtedly reduces the purchasing power of monetary income and leads to a deterioration in living standards. At the same time, high inflation affects the rich and the poor differently. It particularly affects low-income groups. In order to support the most vulnerable segments of the population during the period of rising prices, the state applies various instruments aimed at mitigating the effects of increased inflation (indexation of wages, social payments and benefits, discounts on socially important goods, etc.).

The presentation provides an assessment of the impact of inflationary processes on the living standards of the population.

Topic Multidimensional poverty

Summary:

Today, when SDG 1 sets a goal for the entire world community to eliminate poverty in all its forms, it

means that the SDGs recognise the multidimensional nature of poverty, and using only monetary

components to assess this phenomenon is no longer sufficient. At the same time, the development of

methods to measure multidimensional poverty is a relevant area of statistical activity not only at

international but also at national levels. A national multidimensional poverty index does not just

complement monetary poverty statistics, but is a powerful tool for monitoring the progress towards the

SDGs achieved by a country in key aspects of well-being.

I. Purpose The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the extent to which the objectives of the UNECE project E264 “Enhancing coherence and integration of economic and social statistics in support of the implementation of 2008 System of National Accounts” were achieved.

The evaluation will assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the project.

The evaluation will also assess any impacts the project may have had on progressing human rights, gender equality, disability inclusion, climate change and disaster risk reduction in the context of this engagement. The evaluation will finally look at the activities repurposed to address the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, and assess, to the extent possible, UNECE’s COVID-19 early response through this project.

II. Background The project aimed at increasing the capacity of countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia in compiling national accounts and supporting statistics according to the recommendations of international statistical standards. The activities of the project included the following four modules:

1) Methods and compilation techniques for implementation of the 2008 SNA and supporting economic statistics.

2) Price statistics - development of price indices and deflators for national accounts aggregates. 3) Statistical business registers - improving coverage and accuracy of national statistical business

registers. 4) Expanding the use of household surveys for the estimates of the informal sector and

remittances.

The activities were carried out in cooperation with other international and regional partners, including CIS-STAT, EFTA, Eurostat, ILO, IMF, OECD and World Bank.

III. Evaluation objectives, scope and questions The evaluation will be guided by the objectives, indicators of achievement and means of verification established in the logical framework of the project document. The evaluation will be conducted in Q3 of 2023. It will cover the full implementation of the project, from June 2017 to June 2023 in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan)

The final evaluation of the project has the following specific objectives:

• Determine as systematically and objectively as possible the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the project results in light of its goals and objectives.

• Assess how the project activities contributed to gender equality and women’ s empowerment, as well as the realization of human rights, with an emphasis on ‘leaving no one behind’ and, if needed, it will make recommendations on how these considerations can be better addressed in future activities of the subprogramme.

• Identify good practices and lessons learned from the project and formulate action-oriented, forward-looking recommendations addressed to the subprogramme for improving future interventions.

EVALUATION BRIEF

Enhancing coherence and integration of

economic and social statistics in support of

the implementation of 2008 System of

National Accounts (SNA)

UNECE PROJECT E264 – 2017-2023

BACKGROUND

Since 2010, the UNECE has been actively working to support the implementation of 2008 System of National Accounts and supporting statistics in countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central Asia (EECCA). This project was intended to enable the UNECE in carrying out its mandate to support its implementation in the region and build on the activities and progress achieved since 2010. The project was part of the ECASTAT regional trust fund established by the World Bank for assisting countries to improve their statistical systems. The work on the project was guided by the Steering Group on National Accounts. METHODOLOGY The evaluation was conducted using a mixed- method approach to assess whether the planned objectives were met and to assess their relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability. Cross-cutting issues such as human rights and gender equality were considered at all stages of the evaluation. The review consisted of a desk review of over 75 available project documents, analysis of the results from the two on-line surveys designed for the purpose of this evaluation and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders/partners to gather more information and assessment of results. Key findings were triangulated and presented in line with the questions contained in the Evaluation Matrix. FINDINGS

The evaluation determined that the project was fully relevant to the objective of the UNECE to increase the capacity of target countries in compiling national accounts and supporting statistics according to the recommendations of the 2008 SNA and other relevant international standards by focusing on the outstanding

priorities identified by the countries. The needs of the countries formed the basis of regional workshops and special sessions designed to address their specific issues or challenges.

The evaluation determined that the project was effective by deploying both traditional and innovative methods to ensure that the objectives and results were achieved. The project consisted of four-interrelated modules with the goal to enhance coherence and integration of economic and social statistics in support of the implementation of 2008 SNA. All activities were completed, and additional ones added with the project extension.

The most significant challenge the project faced was the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. All planned results for 2020 were delayed and had to be realigned. The UNECE quickly adapted to the new global reality and implemented the use of online/virtual meetings to continue the momentum of the project during unprecedented times.

The evaluation determined that the project efficiently achieved its objectives within the allocated budget and adjusted timeframe. The savings associated with the new way of doing business (described above) and the UNECE’s ability to draw on established partnerships to obtain additional resources through in-kind or financial contributions, extended the project to the benefit of the targeted countries. A no-cost extension (granted from 2020-2023) expanded the scope of the project to address outstanding issues, identified by the EECCA countries, resulting from the pandemic.

The benefits of the project will continue after its completion although there will be some challenges. By nature of their mandates, the UNECE Statistical Division and the Steering Group on National Accounts are committed to maintaining and progressing the work undertaken during the project. For the EECCA countries, lack of funding, insufficient experienced staff, staff turnover and limited technical capabilities are likely to be a significant challenge in sustaining the work.

CONCLUSIONS

The evaluation has determined that the project met is overall aim and achieved its stated objectives. However, the following limitations were identified and should be considered in future action plans. All UNECE work is designed to be as inclusive as possible, however the human rights dimension is a difficult aspect to cover. The human rights dimension was not incorporated in the project proposal and the project outcomes make no explicit reference to human rights. It was evident through the evaluation that women and youth were involved in the project activities and in the evaluation process. However, no gender consideration was recorded in the project’s proposal and no indicator established. It was difficult to determine whether the knowledge and expertise of the staff in national statistical offices improved and/or their capacity to implement standards and recommendations in practice increased. To properly assess these elements could only be achieved through an in-depth country peer review or an update to the Global Assessments. This was not done as part of this evaluation.

RECOMMENDATIONS

In the spirit of continuous learning and based on the findings and good practices identified throughout evaluation, a series of recommendations are intended to help improve future UNECE projects.

1. The global pandemic forced the UNECE to rethink the way it conducted business to ensure continuity of the project. These innovative solutions introduced good practices that should be continued. The UNECE is encouraged to use a hybrid model when organizing its meetings, workshops, and regional sessions in the future. The

introduction of short webinars and the video capture of in-person sessions provided additional learning opportunities. A combination of face-to-face activities and virtual offerings reaches a broader group of people. Using appropriate and tested technologies that accommodates everyone’s participation is encouraged.

2. To properly assess the degree to which the knowledge and expertise of the staff in the national statistical offices of EECCA countries improved and/or their capacity to implement standards and recommendations increased, an in-depth country peer review or update to the Global Assessments should be conducted.

3. Continued sharing of experience and lessons

learned is critical to the ongoing improvement of the statistical system in the beneficiary countries. EECCA participation in the Expert Group meetings is encouraged and where possible regional workshops or special sessions would continue to offer continuous growth and learning.

4. To ensure sustainability, future activities
