34 SCOPE Questionnaire Detect the degree of awareness of the Statistical Offices about the principles of the Code in accordance with a multidimensional definition of quality STRUCTURE It is the result of the operationalization of the principles of the Code. A set of 56 closed-ended questions, self-administered (CAWI) TARGET In 2012, 656 out of Offices of the SISTAN were selected according to type of unit (central government, public bodies and local authorities and private entities); territorial coverage (north, central, south and islands); unit dimension (employees) WAVES Each every 3 years (planned)
35 Peer review: what is it? According to OECD definition: a peer review is the systematic examination and assessment of the performance of an office by other offices (peer reviewers are employees of other SISTAN offices) The main goals are improving the reviewed organization policies, adopting best practices, and responsiveness to standards and principles establishing a dialogue between offices capacity building Peer review never implies a punitive decision or sanction
36 Peer review: how does it work? The reviewed office allows other offices employees to assess its own work in order to bring out strengths, weaknesses and identify directions for improvement Switching roles. Peer reviewers are to be chosen among offices that are also going to be reviewed CONDITIONS Standing equality Mutual trust Sharing practices
37 Peer review: the process Visit to the reviewed office in which a semistructured interview with standardized tools is carried out Drafting of a peer review report by the reviewer team (results, recommandations and good practices) Final feedback to the reviewed office
38 Peer review: outcomes The report helps to improve the quality of statistical activities focusing on concrete and practical recommendations to each office. The cross-reading of the Reports allows to make a comprehensive analysis of the whole network of statistical offices, and to suggest a set of proposals to improve the System actions and other means of intervention (in terms of regulations, guidelines, recommendations, toolkits) whose adoption will be monitored over time within this framework.
