  • Workshop on Environment Statistics in Support of the Implementation of the Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics 2013
    WORKSHOP ON ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS IN SUPPORT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS 2013 CALODYNE, MAURITIUS 26-29 JANUARY 2015 Final Report United Nations Statistics Division in collaboration with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa Background and objectives of the Workshop 1. The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), in collaboration with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), organised a Workshop on Environment Statistics in support of the implementation of the Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (FDES 2013). The Workshop was held in Calodyne, Mauritius from 26 to 29 January 2015, with hosting and on-ground support provided by UNDP and Statistics Mauritius. The background to organizing this Workshop on the implementation of the FDES 2013 was that the United Nations Statistical Commission, at its forty-fourth session in 2013, endorsed the revised FDES 2013 as the framework for strengthening environment statistics programmes in countries. The Commission also recognized the FDES 2013 as a useful tool in the context of sustainable development goals and the post-2015 development agenda. The Workshop also discussed a draft set of environmental indicators for the COMESA region and the development of a regional programme on environment statistics and implementation of the FDES 2013 in the COMESA member states. The key objectives of the Workshop were to: a. build national capacities for the implementation of the FDES 2013; and b. to provide statisticians and experts from ministries of environment (or equivalent institutions) with detailed knowledge and understanding of contemporary approaches to environment statistics, thus allowing them to identify gaps and deficiencies in environmental data, and contribute to the production of regular, accurate and reliable environment statistics.

  • Sub-Saharan Africa
    Sub-Saharan Africa povertydata.worldbank.org Poverty & Equity Brief Sub-Saharan Africa Angola April 2020 Between 2008-2009 and 2018-2019, the percent of people below the national poverty line changed from 37 percent to 41 percent (data source: IDR 2018-2019). During the same period, Angola experienced an increase in GDP per capita followed by a recession after 2014 when the price of oil declined. Based on the new benchmark survey (IDREA 2018-2019) and the new national poverty line, the incidence of poverty in Angola is at 32 percent nationally, 18 percent in urban areas and a staggering 54 percent in the less densely populated rural areas. In Luanda, less than 10 percent of the population is below the poverty line, whereas the provinces of Cunene (54 percent), Moxico (52 percent) and Kwanza Sul (50 percent) have much higher prevalence of poverty. Despite significant progress toward macroeconomic stability and adopting much needed structural reforms, estimates suggest that the economy remained in recession in 2019 for the fourth consecutive year. Negative growth was driven by the continuous negative performance of the oil sector whose production declined by 5.2 percent. This has not been favorable to poverty reduction. Poverty is estimated to have increased to 48.4 percent in 2019 compared to 47.6 percent in 2018 when using the US$ 1.9 per person per day (2011 PPP). COVID-19 will negatively affect labor and non-labor income. Slowdown in economic activity due to social distancing measures will lead to loss of earnings in the formal and informal sector, in particular among informal workers that cannot work remotely or whose activities were limited by Government.

  • Misallocation, Establishment Size, and Productivity by Pedro Bento And
    Misallocation, Establishment Size, and Productivity By Pedro Bento and Diego Restuccia Online Appendix A Establishment Size Data We describe in more detail how we construct the establishment size data for the manufacturing sector. Our standardized definition of establishment size is the number of persons engaged per establishment. Persons engaged is defined as the average number of persons working for an establishment, both paid and unpaid. A manufacturing establishment is defined as a physi- cal location where the primary activity is manufacturing. Establishments include households who have signs posted on the property indicating commercial activity. Not all countries report persons engaged or the number of establishments, so we also use data on the number of paid employees, the number of full-time equivalent employees, and the number of firms (collections of one or more establishments under common ownership) to impute persons engaged and estab- lishments for these countries. We explain in detail the exact procedure for these imputations but we note that imputations are only involved in about one quarter of our sample of countries. The source data for each country is from economic censuses, as well as surveys which use comprehensive business registries to create sampling frames and as a result are representative of the population of establishments.2 We use all publicly available data for the years 2000 through 2012.3 In an effort to maintain consistency across countries, we do not use data unless efforts were made by a statistical agency to make the data representative of an economy's entire population of manufacturing establishments. We exclude any data collected without 2For some countries data is from EUROSTAT or OECD's Structural Business Statistics, but we check each country's methodology to confirm the consistency of definitions.
